Is there a way to pass a variable set on a page to a menu that is displayed on that page?
For example, if I have a template that sets a variable to true or false, for instance, and that page includes a header, which in turn displays a menu, is there any way for me to use that variable in the menu?
Thank you in advance!
Hopefully this should help.
The menu helper function takes three parameters.
1. The menu name
2. The menu template to use
3. An array of parameters that get passed to the template.
Ordinarily you will use {{menu('main-nav')}} but you can also use {{menu('main-nav', '_sub_menu.twig', {'varname':'varval'})}}
That will now make the varname variable available in the menu template.

Is it possible to change the context menu dynamically, once the tabulator table is already built?
I need to change the context menu according to the cell value under the mouse cursor, so if I could somehow change the context menu inside the cellMouseOver callback, that would be great.
Thanks,

Instead of specifying a menu object, what you want is a Menu Items Generator Function. The example on that page shows returning one menu if approved is false and a different menu if approved is true.
Can some one please tell me how to use the result dialog mentioned in the
https://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/advanced/buttons-and-processes/predefined.html#the-result-dialog
I want to know if this is a predefined dialog and if not where exactly I should define it, any coding samples and how to display it when a button is clicked? Where do I need to put the code? Is it in properties-local.xml file?
Please help. Thank you
You can't pass the message to be shown to the result-dialog. If you just use one of those dialogs, you could define a property to override the default message.
The value of the oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath.*.* property is an XPath expression. If you have a static URL you want to take users to, you can set it to that URL inside single quotes, say 'http://www.orbeon.com/'.
I am trying to check my check box in Geb.
I have tried following codes, but no luck
$('input', type:'checkbox', id: 'chkTermsConditions', tabindex: '-1').value('true')
$(".CheckBoxUI").value('true')
Following is the HTML
After mouse go over the check box additional text updated (marked in the screen shot)
You are attempting to check the box which has the attribute with value='true'
From the Geb manual:
The value of input, select and textarea elements can be retrieved and set with the value method. Calling value() with no arguments will return the String value of the first element in the Navigator. Calling value(value) will set the current value of all elements in the Navigator. The argument can be of any type and will be coerced to a String if necessary. The exceptions are that when setting a checkbox value the method expects a boolean (or, an existing checkbox value) and when setting a multiple select the method expects an array or Collection of values.
Try this:
$("#chkTermsConditions").value(true)
If you are using non standard HTML generated by some other platform. You may have to resort to clicking the element or using javascript.
The element that produces the desired click result could be one of the surrounding elements. If the widget is javascript controlled you may have to call a function that is embedded into the page for that widget. If its a javascript widget I cannot help you unless you can point me to a page which uses the same platform.
Try:
$('a[class=CheckRadioFocus]').click()
$('a[id=termLink]').click()
or any of the other surrounding elements.
I managed to check the check box with $(".CheckBoxStyle").click()
Only issue is still Submit button doesn't get enable. Following is the html code for before and after checking the check box in real situation.
I tried the to click on the submit button with following code. It doesn't give any error. But still doesn't move to next page as expected.May be because of Submit button disable issue.
$("#submitBtnMsg").click()
Edited :
It was turned out above was application related issue. We have to click on the address after selecting via address validation service. Then only Submit button get enable.
$(".RedColor").click()
I want to create a generic action bar custom control with Save, Edit, Delete, ... buttons.
How can I pass var variable from xpage to a custom control?
Update
I successfully transferred document object to custom control and I can Save the changes made in document, but I can't delete it with same object.
Update:
<xp:this.action>
<xp:executeScript
script="#{javascript:compositeData.datasrc.save()}">
</xp:executeScript>
</xp:this.action>
Delete is not working:
<xp:deleteDocument
message="Do you want to delete?"
var="#{javascript:compositeData.datasrc}">
<xp:this.name><![CDATA[#{javascript:var page = sessionScope.get("prevview");
return (page=='')?'home.xsp':page}]]> </xp:this.name>
</xp:deleteDocument>
I tried also with:
var="#{javascript:compositeData.datasrc.getDocument()}">
but also didn't work.
When you define a custom control, you can specify control properties. These properties then show up in the property editor when you insert the custom control into an XPage or another control. You can specify the data type and allow them to repeat.
This is saver than to rely on scoped variables. Check Chris' introduction and the XPages 101 session or and many more for inspiration
You can do it for example with a Scoped Variable. If the variable value is specific to that XPage (and user) viewScope is probably the best.
The above options are the best way to do that, but keep in mind that if you define a variable in a scriptblock or somewhere else in the Xpage, you will be able to access this variable from your code in the CustomControl, too. I think that's because the XPage und the custom Controls are kind of merged when compiled. Keep that in mind, this can lead to very nasty problems, especially with recycling issues.
What is the purpose of this variable ? If its a variable to control which buttons are being shown it would be best to create properties for each button / section. These properties can be computed to either return true or false.
If you want to pass the code that a button should execute I would advice you to generate button bars for the most common locations ( aka actions ) and add custom buttons on the button bar by using a facet (Editable area its called in the designer) .On this facet you'll drag a panel on which the buttons are being placed.
I've spent days trying to figure this out and I give up.
I am a LotusScript programmer and have been trying to learn XPages. All of the examples and sample programs I've studied only touch on pieces of this.
Can someone explain to me step by step how to use the Selected property of the Extension Library Navigator control?
I have created my own custom control based on the layout control from the Extension Library and created a custom property called navigationPath. I also created a navigator custom control that has 5 Page Link Nodes. In the "Selected" property of each Page Link Node, I put the following SSJS:
if(compositeData.navigationPath == "/Home/ApplicationPool"){
return true
}else{
return false
}
/Home/ApplicationPool corresponds to the value I put in the "Selection" property of the particular Page Link Node.
In each layout custom control, I set the "navigationPath" property to compositeData.navigationPath.
What did I miss?
there is a selected and selection property and they mean very different things and can't be used at the same time. In the code example in your question above you are using the selected property which is the wrong one in this case.
Your treeNodes in the navigator should be setup to use the selection property, this is a RegEx value that is used to see if it matches the value passed into the application layout via the custom property.
<xe:navigator id="navigator1" expandable="true" expandEffect="wipe">
<xe:this.treeNodes>
<xe:pageTreeNode label="nodeName" page="/page.xsp" selection="/Home/ApplicationPool" />
</xe:this.treeNodes>
</xe:navigator>
As you can see you don't need to use any SSJS to evaluate a true/false outcome. Just match the value in the treeNode to the one in the XPage's applicationLayout control.
If your using tabs in the layout titleBar then you can set a selection property there also that uses the format /Home/.* which will make that tab highlighted for every XPage that have /Home/ at the start of it's navigationpath custom property. Don;t forget it is RegEx so any valid RegEx statement can be used here adding more power to this particular property.
For the tree nodes in the navigator control you define the name of the xpage to open and then the related selection. Example:
<xe:pageTreeNode page="/text.xsp" selection="/Home/Test" label="Test page">
</xe:pageTreeNode>
For the individual xpages using the applicationLayout you define a value for navigationPath. If this value matches an entry in one of the tree nodes the naviagor control, then the corresponding menu item will be highlighted in the browser. The best way to define the value of the navigationPath is by using a custom property (as you are using). Here's an example of that:
<xe:applicationLayout id="applicationLayout1">
<xe:this.configuration>
<xe:oneuiApplication navigationPath="${javascript:compositeData.navigationPath}" ...
You can see examples of using all this in the Extension Library Teamroom and Discussion templates.
Based on my explanation on how to use it, I can see that you are not using the selection property on the navigation control correct. You just need to define a unique value for each tree node (which then will be used if it matches navigationPath on the individual xpages).
So for your specific example change your selection property to just return: "/Home/ApplicationPool"
