API_DoQuery: How do I code where a field value is one of a series ?
E.g. query={6.EX.1 OR 3 OR 7 OR 24 OR 2}.
In SQL - select * from xyz where [6] in (1,3,7,24,2)
Forum Discussion
- Like this:
{6.EX.1}OR{6.EX.3}OR{6.EX.7}OR{6.EX.24}OR{6.EX.2} - Thanks. I was hoping there was something similar to the HAS/XHAS list, but OR'ing.
- Hi Dan,
I'm testing the API_DoQuery with the following code and I'm not getting any result. Could you help me?
var promise = $.get(dbidcalendar, {
act: "API_DoQuery",
query: "{3.EX.178}",
clist: "3"
});
$.when(promise).then(function(xml){
var recordid = $("rid", xml).text();
});
I use something similar for API_AddRecord and API_EditRecord and it works very well. The APP does not have APPTOKEN - log the xml response:
console.dirxml(xml);
this will reveal the tag for the record is <record_id_> not <rid>- Dan,
is there a way to not use the field name, but use the field ID instead?
from: $("record_id_", xml).text();
to: $('fid_3', xml).text(); - You have to request "structured xml" like this:
$.get(dbidcalendar, {
act: "API_DoQuery",
query: "{3.EX.178}",
clist: "3.6.7.8",
fmt: "structured"
}).then(function(xml) {
console.dirxml(xml);
var fid6 = $("f[id=6]", xml).text();
var fid7 = $("f[id=7]", xml).text();
var fid8 = $("f[id=8]", xml).text();
});
Note your query will always contain just one record so you can shorten the selectors to just asking for those nodes where the <f> element has an id attribute or 6, 7 or 8 respectively.
- Awesome. Thanks Dan.
