Hello,

First message ... so to start, thanks for your work !

I've got a select request used in my browse form which connect several table (with some condition to have a unique result)

My browse form, which is linked to tableA, display this:
tableA_id (PK)
tableA_data
tableB_id (with a width 0) so that user will not see it

but the only hash_cookie seen in edit form are linked to tableA nothing from tableB exist.

I want to use this hash cookie to be able to run a secondary edit form (through a button) with tableB_id but I can't find a way to do so.

Regards

Hello,

It's great to hear that you are using nuBuilder and finding it useful!

Regarding your question, if I understand correctly, you have a query in your browse form that joins several tables, including tableA and tableB, and you want to be able to open a secondary edit form on a button click.

You can add the following JavaScript code in the Custom Code/Browse section of your form. It creates a button for each browse row and opens another form on a button click. The pk of the second form is stored in an attribute called "data-table-b-id".

Code: Select all

function createButton(target, index, data) {

    const buttonId = `browse_button${index}`;
    let btn = $(`<button id='${buttonId}' type='button' data-table-b-id="${data}" class='nuActionButton'><i class='fa fa-file-arrow-down'></i>&nbsp;</button>`);
    btn.css('padding-left', '9px');

    $(target).html(btn);

    btn.on('click', function(e) {
		e.stopPropagation(); 
		const tableBID = $(this).attr("data-table-b-id"); 
	    nuForm('6433a3e41a0d354', tableBID, '', '', '2'); // <-- Replace 6433a3e41a0d354 with your form Id
    });

}

function addBrowseButtons(column) {

    $("[data-nu-column='" + column + "']").each(function(index) {

        const pk = $(this).attr('data-nu-primary-key');
        if (typeof pk !== "undefined") {
            const row = $(this).attr('data-nu-row');
            const data = $('#nucell_' + row + '_1').html(); // <-- E.g. pk of 2nd form is in the 1 column

            createButton(this, index, data);
        }
    })

}

addBrowseButtons(0); // add a button in column 1

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello,
Thanks for your fast answer!
Yes you correctly understood.

Uhm what I wanted to do was to have the button in the edit form, not in the browse one, hence the fact that I wanted to export the result as an hash_cookie

to explain more my case:
Table USER : contains user_id, user_data(severals), user_emergency_contact_id -> per user
Table SEASON: season_id, season_year -> contains the current and previous season for example
Table CONTRIBUTION : contains contrib_id, contrib_season_id, contrib_user_id, contrib_time_slot_id contrib_data -> will contains user per season if they are registered for this season and on which time slot they are registred
Table TIME_SLOT: contains id, slot
Table EMERGENCY_CONTACT: contains id, data

so the select cover each table with season_year and time_slot as condition so if a user is not registered to the season&time_slot it will not appear in the browse form

I only display name/surname in the browse form (which is linked to USER table) but when I go to the edit form I display the whole data of the user.
If we want to change the emergency contact, we have a button since the id is in USER table and a hash_cookie exists to put it in the RUN tab,

I wanted also to have the same thing for the contribution in the same page however there is no hash_cookie since it is not in the USER table,
The only ugly solution I think about is to duplicate the select in a display input and then onchange of this value to use some javascript to create the hash_cookie (but I'm not even sure this would work)
I also tried to change recordid on the fly in BE php script but It can't work since recordid is already extracted before (I looked at nuBuilder source code).

By using nuSelectBrowse(), you can retrieve the clicked row/element and store a value in a window variable (e.g. your_id):

Code: Select all

function nuSelectBrowse(event, element) {

    const primaryKey = $(element).attr('data-nu-primary-key');
    if (primaryKey) {
        const row = $(element).attr('data-nu-row');
        const column = 1; // change column number accordingly
        window.your_id = $(`div[data-nu-row='${row}'][data-nu-column='${column}']`).html();
        nuForm(nuFormId(), primaryKey, '', '', '0');
    }

}

Then when the form is loaded (Custom Code, Edit section), retrieve "your_id" and save it in a Hash Cookie:

Code: Select all

nuSetProperty('your_id', window.your_id);

Thanks a lot !
I was able to do it.
I put your first part in Browse&Edit JS part and your second part in edit JS section,
I needed to modify the second par, to be able to use it as an hash cookie (I suppose this is needed to transfer from JS to PHP ?) :

Code: Select all

if ( nuGetProperty('your_id') == undefined) {
    nuSetProperty('your_id', window.cot_id);
    nuGetBreadcrumb();
}
