I have a repeat control inside another repeat control. The concept is to create something like a calendar. So i want to create a 2 dimension repeat and i used one repeat to create "rows" vertically and inside it another one to create columns horizontally. The second repeat control has an input text control inside a div control. The code is below:
<xp:repeat id="repeat4" rows="30">
<xp:this.value>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:var projects2 = new Array("Project 1","Project 2");
return projects2;}]]>
</xp:this.value>
<xp:repeat id="repeat3" rows="31">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var inBoxes = new java.util.Vector();
for(i=1;i<=5;i++){
inBoxes.add(i);
}
return inBoxes;}]]>
</xp:this.value>
<xp:div id="DivInputs" styleClass="DivInputs">
<xp:inputText id="inputText1"
style="width:100%">
</xp:inputText>
</xp:div>
</xp:repeat>
</xp:repeat>
I want now to get the value of an input field so if i use this it works:
repeat4.setRowIndex(0);
repeat3.setRowIndex(0);
sum = sum + inputText1.getValueAsString();
But when i do this loop it only gets only the first row cell value:
for(i=0;i<2;i++){
repeat4.setRowIndex(i);
repeat3.setRowIndex(0);
sum = sum + inputText1.getValueAsString();
}
Any ideas?
You need to change your approach. Going after values should be done using bindings, not getValue. So do something like
var x = [[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[...],....];
viewScope.calendar = x;
Then bind the controls to the variable. This removes the need to check for the exact position or variable name.

I need to create 3 fields in one row every time a new objective is needed. objective1, midYear1, endYear1. Then if I add an objective, objective2, midYear2, endYear2 and so on. Everything seems to work, first time, but second time it creates loads of fields. I assume its the way I'm nesting / not nesting/using my repeats correctly as my viewScope variables are all correct, so it's just displaying of the fields that I'm confusing myself with. I just need each of the 3 fields in one column each, then new row and repeat.....Code below, however am also open to suggestions if anyone has a better approach..... Thanks

The problem is that by nesting, for each entry in coumn 1, you're creating n instances of column 2. Then for each entry in column, you're creating n instances of column 3. If you want this approach, you're best off creating a single viewScope variable, where each element has the fieldnames for each objective (as an object or array), then just using a single repeat using that single viewScope variable.
Building this for Notes Client / traditional Domino web was historically a huge pain because the restriction was you could not edit multiple documents (easily) in the same UI, because the Form was both the schema for storage and the design for the UI.
XPages means that's no longer a restriction. The XPage is the UI, (dominoDocument / bean) data sources are the schema for storage.
As a result, my preferred approach is to break the structure for storage up into more granular elements. So each Objective would be its own document, with fixed bindings to "objective", "midYear", "endYear".
There are then a variety of approaches for creating a new entry. One is a single fixed row at the top with a dominoDocument datasource with scope="request" ignoreRequestParams="true". Save can then add the NoteID / UNID to a repeat that then retrieves the values from the relevant document(s) to display / edit.
A more advanced approach would be to have a viewScope variable with an additional option (at beginning or end), then compute the dominoDocument datasource that's within the repeat to either retrieve the relevant document (i.e. action="openDocument") or create a new one (i.e. action="newDocument").
In a djTabPane I put all the content in a table with 1 row and 1 column:
<xe:djTabPane id="djTabPane3" title="Valoare contract">
<xp:table id="CellVal"> ... </xp:table> </xe:djTabPane>
In this main table I have numerous tables. Certain table has only 2 rows. On the first row there is this field:
<xp:inputText id="inputText23" value="#{Contr.vff1}">
<xp:eventHandler event="onchange" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" refreshId="CellVal">
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:inputText>
I want the next <tr> from this table to be rendered when this field is changing:
<xp:tr>
<xp:this.rendered>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:Contr.getItemValueString("vff1") != ""}]]>
</xp:this.rendered>
<xp:td>s</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
But still the row isn;t shown. Am I missing something?
Step 1: add an Error control to your page you can see. The problem might be a failing validation.
Step 2: Strip the example down to a minimal problem
Step 3: consider a client side show routine instead of SSJS. Saves you the roundtrip.
Something like this (off my head) in a script block:
XSP.addOnLoad(function() {
document.getElementById("#{inputText23}").addEventListener("onchange", function(){
document.getElementById("#{give-the-tr-an-id}").className = "showup";
});
});
Then use classes and CSS to show/hide it.
I created a simple repeat control, having inside it 2 simple inputTexts. Outside this repeat control, there is an editable inputText3 ( binded to dataSource ). I'm using it to make some calculations inside the repeat control. The calculations are displayed correctly. I have 2 buttons, for newLine and delete/hideLine. For the moment, those 2 fields inside the repeat control are not binded to the datasource.
i have a button which save the doc., and list it inside a viewPanel, having the first column inputText3, clickable. I noticed that if I open the document ( in edit or read mode ) this editable field value is correctly displayed, but the fields inside the repeat control are all null, even if I add some values before using the save method.
I try also to create 2 fields inside the form ( / datasource ) and binding this inputTexts to them, but again the repeat control fields are empty.
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" var="varRepeat" indexVar="index">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:parseInt(sessionScope.dField)
}]]></xp:this.value>
...
<xp:inputText id="inputText1"></xp:inputText>
<xp:inputText id="inputText2"></xp:inputText>
The editable field outside the repeat:
<xp:inputText id="number" value="#{docrepeat.valtotala}"
defaultValue="100">
</xp:inputText>
.
<xp:this.data>
<xp:dominoDocument var="docrepeat" formName="docrepeat"></xp:dominoDocument>
</xp:this.data>
I'm definitely missing something here, hope to reach to a functional solution.
Should I bind the 2 inputText using the var property of the repeat?
Or how can I achieve this?
repeat control code:
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" var="test" indexVar="index" rows="8">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:parseInt(sessionScope.DField)
}]]></xp:this.value>
<xp:panel>
<xp:table >
<xp:tr>
<xp:td>
<xp:inputText id="inputText1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onchange"
submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[try
{
var idx="view:_id1:inputText3";
var index=document.getElementById(idx).value;
var number="view:_id1:number";
var val=document.getElementById(number).value;
var sum = val;
for(var i=0;i<index;i++) {
var input1="view:_id1:repeat1:"+i+":inputText1"
var nr1=document.getElementById(input1).value;
sum-=nr1;
document.getElementById("view:_id1:repeat1:"+i+":inputText2").value = sum;
}
// calculating some %
document.getElementById("view:_id1:test").value = parseInt((sum*100)/val);
}
catch(e)
{
alert("not working");
}]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:inputText>
<xp:inputText id="inputText2"></xp:inputText>
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
</xp:table>
</xp:panel>
</xp:repeat>
My little scenario was described here: Xpages how to obtain/create this calculations module
I think your datasource inside the repeat is a view. You need to add a datasource of object data inside the repeat. The way to do this is to create a panel inside the repeat and give that panel a datasource as follows.
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" rows="30" value="#{view1}"
var="rowData">
<xp:panel>
<xp:dominoDocument var="objectData1"
formName="Item"
documentId="#{javascript:return rowData.getNoteID();}"
ignoreRequestParams="true" action="openDocument">
</xp:dominoDocument>
!!!put your stuff in the panel!!!
</xp:panel>
</xp:repeat>
So what is going on is the repeat grabs the datasource which is a view. So it will iterate through all of the entries in the view. But the view datasource does not know what to do with documents. So you create the objectData which will grab the noteID of that specific document and make that available to the repeat as a document(referenced by noteID). Making it available as a document will allow it to save values. You probably won't be able to use the value picker but just type in the field names and it will work.
Not sure I am completely understanding your problem. But you also need to save the datasource. So you could either put a save button in the panel to save that specific document or make the save button save all data sources. I prefer being able to save each document separately as it allows for applications that multiple can edit at the same time.
I've setup a repeater and am reading the value from the multivalue field using GetItemValueArray. This returns the array and If I use a listbox it displays. I want to cross reference some other data with it though so I need to use a repeater. But I'm not sure how to have the repeater use an index that increments for each row. The code below "return rowdata[i]" doesn't recognize i.
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" var="rowdata" rows="30">
<xp:this.value>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:var myArray:Array = myDataSource.getItemValueArray("MyMultiValueFld")}]]>
</xp:this.value>
<xp:label id="lbl">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:return rowdata[i];}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:label>
</xp:repeat>
rowdata is not a reference to the myArray value as a whole, but the iterated entry in myArray. In other words... you already have what you need.
<xp:label value="#{rowdata}" />
Maybe you can simplify your code by naming using just the "rowdata" as value for your text item. You then should only change the repeat source to
myDataSource.getItemValue("myValueFld")
as this returns always an array of data. It's just depending on the datatype that this item stores, so you might have to convert in the text control.
Hi there your code has another issue, you do not have any return statement in this line:
<xp:this.value>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:var myArray:Array = myDataSource.getItemValueArray("MyMultiValueFld")}]>
</xp:this.value>
so the code does not return your myArray it only Returns the name of it as a string wich gets repeatet one time. Use this a valueBinding:
value="#{myDataSource.MyMultiValueFld}"
or add a return:
<xp:this.value>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:var myArray:Array = myDataSource.getItemValueArray("MyMultiValueFld");
return myArray;}]>
</xp:this.value>
Then you should be able to use Chris Tooheys Answer:
<xp:label value="#{rowdata}"/>
Use the indexVar property of the repeat control to setup a var containing the index.
Got it. The final piece of code is that I did have to create an indexVar="I" in my repeat1 tag but then I also had to change my label to a computed field. The final piece of code looks like:
<xp:table>
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" var="rowdata" rows="30" indexVar="i" first="0">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:myDataSource.getItemValueArray("myMultivalueFld");}]]>
</xp:this.value>
<xp:tr><xp:td>
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var repeat1:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspDataIterator = getComponent("repeat1");
repeat1.getValue()[i];}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:text>
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
</xp:repeat>
</xp:table>
don't think I could have gotten it without the tidbit on the indexVar. Thanks
You can trim that code further. If all you need is the values, you don't need the indexvar and you don't need to reference the repeat as an XspDataIterator. Just use the rowdata as a variable.
<xp:table>
<xp:repeat id="repeat1" var="rowdata" rows="30">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:myDataSource.getItemValueArray("myMultivalueFld");}]]>
</xp:this.value>
<xp:tr><xp:td>
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:rowdata;}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:text>
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
</xp:repeat>
Each value in the multi-value field is a "row" as referenced by rowdata. Similarly, if the data source were a view, each row would reference a document object. Don't dispose of the framework available to you by accessing the repeat as a component from inside the component itself.
I am trying to use an xpages datatable and set the cell colour of the cells in a column to be different based on the cell value. What I am finding is that although the datatable is bound to a view and the collection is specified (to get the row value) this seems to not be available to the style section.
Here is an example:
<xp:dataTable id="dataTable8" rows="30" var="doc1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var View:NotesView = DivisionsView;
View.getAllEntriesByKey("ViewName")}]]></xp:this.value>
<xp:column id="column1" style="width:75px;font-family:Tahoma">
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:doc1.getColumnValues()[1]
}]]></xp:this.value>
<xp:this.style><![CDATA[#{javascript:v=doc1.getColumnValues()[1];
if(v=="Yes"){"background-color:rgb(255,0,0)"}}]]></xp:this.style>
</xp:text>
<xp:this.facets>
<xp:label value="Header" id="label1" xp:key="header">
</xp:label>
</xp:this.facets>
</xp:column>
</xp:dataTable>
This just shows a doc1 not found error. Does this mean the data bound to the datatable is not available to the style part of it? Is there a way to do this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit: I cannot change the table cell style based on the view entries value, here is an exmaple that throws the doc1 not found error:
<xp:column id="column1">
<xp:this.style><![CDATA[#{javascript:v=doc1.getColumnValues()[1];
if(v=="Yes"){"background-color:rgb(255,0,0)"}}]]></xp:this.style>
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:doc1.getColumnValues()[1]
}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:text>
<xp:this.facets>
<xp:label value="Header" id="label1" xp:key="header">
</xp:label>
</xp:this.facets>
</xp:column>
The stylesheet property is rendered not only for every value in the column, it is calulated for each row. This incudes the facet too.
This means if your column has a header and/or a footer, the stylesheet property is calculated for these invisible rows, but there is no row value (doc1).
If you change your code and add a try/catch you can see the result.
<xp:column id="column1">
<xp:this.style>
<![CDATA[#{javascript:
try{
v=doc.getColumnValues()[1];
if(v=="Yes"){"background-color:rgb(255,0,0)"}
}catch(e){
return "background-color:rgb(255,0,255)";
}}]]>
</xp:this.style>
...
...
</xp:column>
There are a few things I would like you to check in your code.
First the code to bind data:
var View:NotesView = DivisionsView;
View.getAllEntriesByKey("ViewName")
What is DivisionsView? The actual code to bind would look something like this:
var View:NotesView = database.getView("ViewName");
View.getAllEntriesByKey("KeyName")
Second, in your code to add style you have used single = rather than == in if condition. So the code would be something like this:
v = doc1.getColumnValues()[1];
if (v=="Yes") {
"background-color:rgb(255,0,0)"
}
Do these suggestions make it work?
I have given up on a datatable and got things to work using a repeat on a table row. That way I can control the style of the entire row and therefore each cell, it appears you cannot do this in a datatable as the options are all data column based. Thanks for your help though
