Initial Question
Can I render the data from one field into multiple columns?
Background
I have created a custom field that contains a drop down list and two text boxes. The idea is that users can select a supplier from the drop down list that is connected to a list of suppliers. Which will get the contact name and number of the supplier and populate the corresponding textboxes.
I have done it this way as it is important to be able to override the contact number and the address but the client wants to see the defaults.
Heres what it looks like:
On saving the new entry the value of the field is saved as follows:
;#1;#Supplier 1;#Contact Name;#01234 567890;#
I chose to save the data in this was so I can treat it like a multi-column field when I render it.
I am using the below code to split the data and override the display pattern for the list view:
<RenderPattern Name="DisplayPattern">
<Switch>
<Expr>
<Column />
</Expr>
<Case Value="" />
<Default>
<!--<Column SubColumnNumber="0" HTMLEncode="TRUE" />
<HTML><![CDATA[<br/>]]></HTML>-->
<Column SubColumnNumber="1" HTMLEncode="TRUE" />
<HTML><![CDATA[ - ]]></HTML>
<Column SubColumnNumber="2" HTMLEncode="TRUE" />
<HTML><![CDATA[ - ]]></HTML>
<Column SubColumnNumber="3" HTMLEncode="TRUE" />
<HTML><![CDATA[]]>]></HTML>
</Default>
</Switch>
</RenderPattern>
This allows me to present the data to the end user as follows:
Question
I would like to be able to display this split data in seperate columns. I notice that the build in title field SharePoint uses has four types of columns you can add to a view for a single field. I am trying to reproduce this kind of functionality so each section of the data can be added or removed from views. Is this possible?
It turns out you have access the list item which meant I was able to simply just add to additional fields within the list item by overriding the UpdateFieldValueInItem method.
Public Overrides Sub UpdateFieldValueInItem()
Me.ItemFieldValue = ddlSupplier.SelectedItem.Value
If Me.Item.Fields.ContainsField(Me.Field.InternalName & "-" & "Telephone") Then
Me.Item(Me.Field.InternalName & "-" & "Telephone") = txtTelephone.Text
End If
End Sub
A much more effective way of doing this.

I try to manipulate an diagrams.net (formerly draw.io) not compressed XML exported drawing.
Cables can be hooked up to elements and I want to get a cables-list.
I do a search for all cables by testing if the element has source and target attributes. Then I compare the id's of both with the full list of elements to find the connected label in value.
That works great until someone tries to add an "addon-tag". After that (even if it's deleted), the element gets wrapped in a <object> that has the id attribute but the source and target attribute stay in a child node called like this:
before:
<mxCell id="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-22" value="" style="..endless list" edge="1" parent="1" source="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-8" target="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-18">
<mxGeometry relative="1" as="geometry">
<mxPoint x="540" y="520" as="sourcePoint" />
<mxPoint x="700" y="520" as="targetPoint" />
</mxGeometry>
</mxCell>
after:
<object label="" id="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-53">
<mxCell style="..endless long list" edge="1" parent="1" source="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-42" target="ferXMembXyNwfAPwV5vA-51">
<mxGeometry relative="1" as="geometry">
<mxPoint x="660" y="340" as="sourcePoint" />
<mxPoint x="770" y="360" as="targetPoint" />
</mxGeometry>
</mxCell>
</object>
this findall works for normal mxCell formated to find id, source and target elements:
list_of_mxCell_elements = root.findall(root_node,".//*[#source][#target]")
and this for objects elements id's:
list_of_objects_elements = root.findall(root_node,".//*[#source][#target]/..")
But how can I access the mxCell element from the list_of_objects_elements, so I can get hold of source and target id's?
I found a solution by my own.
After findall 'elements' i iterate over the list of elements and just do another findall on each cable element i got.
It looks somewhat like this:
list_of_objects_elements = root.findall(root_node,'.//*[#source][#target]/..')
for cable in list_of_objects_elements:
for mxCell in cable.findall('./*[#source][#target]'):
Note the slighly different findall path:
This makes an search for source & target in <mxCells> while passing back the next higher element <object> from root.
.//*[#source][#target]/..
./*[#source][#target]
While the lower searches for source & target in only one element deeper than <object>
To me those paths are still a Mindblow.
I have a selector that is selecting cases among several other fields, as follows:
[PXSelector(typeof(Search2<CRCase.caseCD,
InnerJoin<PMProject,
On<CRCase.customerID, Equal<PMProject.customerID>>>,
Where<PMProject.contractID, Equal<Current<EPTimecardDetail.projectID>>>,
OrderBy<Desc<CRCase.caseCD>>>),
typeof(CRCase.caseCD),
typeof(CRCase.subject),
typeof(CRCase.createdDateTime),
typeof(CRCase.caseClassID),
typeof(CRCase.status),
typeof(CRCase.contactID),
typeof(CRCase.ownerID))]
When the selector is open, the search bar will only search on the first field - the CaseCD. If I type part of the Subject field text, I want it to show, as in other lookups, the entries that have that snippet of text in them. i.e., if I know part of the Subject field, I want it to filter or show entries filtered on that bit of text I enter.
Is there a setting in the PXSelector attribute that allows this, or would it be on the aspx page for the Selector?
In the past (unless there is something new) we set the FastFilterFields in the page.
Ex from project entry on contract cd (page PM301000):
<px:PXSegmentMask ID="edContractCD" runat="server" DataField="ContractCD" DataSourceID="ds" AutoRefresh="True">
<GridProperties FastFilterFields="Description, CustomerID, CustomerID_Customer_acctName" />
</px:PXSegmentMask>
Each field listed in FastFilterFields will be searchable in the selector.
Use of FastFilterFields will apply to PXSegmentMask or PXSelector.
Another example showing selector:
<px:PXSelector ID="edReceiptNbr" runat="server" DataField="ReceiptNbr" AutoRefresh="true">
<GridProperties FastFilterFields="InvoiceNbr, VendorID, VendorID_Vendor_acctName">
</GridProperties>
</px:PXSelector>
I have a custom control for an editable field, and validation is done via a java bean. I want to set the isValid() property to set bootstrap styling like so:
However, this does not work if I place the cc on a page more than once, because I am searching on the component's ID to set the Valid property.
I need to either compute the id of the field in the CC, or do something else like this post describes.
I believe I can compute the ID of the text field like so:
<xp:inputText
id="${javascript:compositeData.fieldName}"
type="text"
loaded="${!empty compositeData.placeholder}"
required="${compositeData.required}"
disableClientSideValidation="true">
<xp:this.attrs>
<xp:attr
name="placeholder"
value="${compositeData.placeholder}" />
</xp:this.attrs>
<xp:this.binding><![CDATA[#{javascript:compositeData.dataSource[compositeData.fieldName]}]]></xp:this.binding>
</xp:inputText>
However, there are a few places where I need to compute the component, such as
<xp:this.styleClass><![CDATA[#{javascript:"form-group" + (getComponent("inputText1").isValid() ? "" : " has-error" )}]]></xp:this.styleClass>
I have to replace the "inputText1" with the computed ID, but cannot figure out how to do so.
Is there a better/easier way?
Why would you not use the compositeData.fieldName everywhere you reference the id?
<xp:this.styleClass><![CDATA[#{javascript:"form-group" + (getComponent(compositeData.fieldName).isValid() ? "" : " has-error" )}]]></xp:this.styleClass>
I am using SafeCracker to create some entries on a site and when the form is submitted it comes up in a preview template.
I need to be able to display the selected category for the entry.
I am using the following code to display the results in the preview template:
{exp:safecracker channel="jobs" id="contact" return="jobs/preview/ENTRY_ID" entry_id="{segment_3}"}
<p>Job Type: {job_type}<br />
Category: {exp:channel:category_heading}{category_name}{/exp:channel:category_heading}<br />
Location: {job_location}</p>
<p>Description:<br />
{job_description}
</p>
<p>Apply by: {how_to_apply} at: {apply_value}</p>
<p>Company: {company}</p>
<p>Description: <br />
{company_description}</p>
{/exp:safecracker}
As it is, the Category: value is blank. What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks!
Use: {categories}{if selected}{category_name}{/if}{/categories}.
Failing that, you could use the query module:
{exp:query sql="
SELECT c.cat_name
FROM exp_categories c, exp_category_posts cp
WHERE cp.entry_id = {segment_3}
AND c.cat_id = cp.cat_id
" backspace="2"}{cat_name}, {/exp:query}
I’m trying to connect two DropDownList (ddlCountry and ddlCity) together. I want that when the user changes the Country, the ddlCity is updated consequently.
To do it, I created two lists:
· Country (ID, Title)
· City (ID, Title, Country) [Country is a lookup field]
Then I created an ASPX page with 2 DropDownList connected to Country and City through 2 SPDataSource (dsCountry and dsCity).
When I load my page, the City DropDownList is populated accordingly to the Country DropDownList, but when I change the Country, nothing happens and ddlCity shows null always
This is my code:
<SharePoint:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="List" UseInternalName="true" selectcommand="<Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Title' /></OrderBy></Query>" id="dsCountry">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="Country"/>
</SelectParameters>
</SharePoint:SPDataSource>
<p>Country:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" id="ddlCountry" DataValueField="Title" DataTextField="Title" DataSourceID="dsCountry" AutoPostBack="True" />
</p>
<SharePoint:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="List" UseInternalName="true" selectcommand="<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="Country" /><Value Type="Lookup">{country}</Value></Eq></Where></Query>" id="dsCity">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:parameter DefaultValue="City" Name="ListName"></asp:parameter>
<asp:controlparameter name="country" controlid="ddlCountry" propertyname="SelectedValue"/>
</SelectParameters>
</SharePoint:SPDataSource>
<p>City:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" id="ddlCity" DataValueField="Title" DataTextField="Title" DataSourceID="dsCity" />
</p>
Please note:
· In ddlCountry AutoPostBack = True
· In dsCity, in the CAML query there’s a parameter called “country”, connected to ddlCountry through a ControlParameter
I don’t understand why my filtering doesn’t work when I change the country… I can see the page reloading, but nothing happens… any suggestion?
Shouldn't the variable be:
{$country}
Interested in knowing if you ever found a solution.
I realise this is serious thread necromancy, but in case you're still interested, or anyone else finds this through Google...
Try setting the EnableViewState attribute of the second (filtered) dropdown to false. This will force the control to get a new set of data (with the new filter) from the SPDataSource, instead of getting its previous set from before the post back from the View State.
Have a look at this page for this specific example, and this page for a more general overview of the View State and what it does.
