  • 1.  Save button on iframed Grid Edit report

    Posted 05-30-2018 01:38
    I'm trying to build some buttons that will display grid edit reports in a pop-up window, allowing users to quickly dive unto selected records and update fields. 
    Since the reports are displaying in a pop-up, I'm displaying them as iframes using "&ifv=1"...

    The issue: When grid-edit reports are displayed as iframed reports, they do not display the Save, Save changes & Cancel buttons.

    Is there a way to have these buttons display?

    WIthout custom programming (launching javascript from a code Page) this probably is not possible.  Your next best native solution would be to launch the embedded report in a new window.  Alternatively; either use checkboxes to hide/show grid edit embedded reports which they can update OR use custom buttons to launch to new Forms which include the Grid Edit reports.  Note also that custom-save buttons will not save Grid Edit entries so users will have to either use Save & close or Save & keep working default buttons.

    Actually you code do this naively if you created Rich Text formula field buttons that called the appropriate click handler:

    <a href="#" class="Tall Vibrant Success" onclick="GeditDoSave(gReqDBID, true);">Save</a>

    <a href="#" class="Tall Vibrant Primary Secondary" onclick="GeditDoSave(gReqDBID);">Apply Changes</a>

    <a class="cancelBtn Tall Vibrant FS-Button" onclick="GeditDoCancel();">Cancel</a>

    The only issue is that these buttons would be placed in their own column.

    This is SO great!  I have some follow up questions thought!  I successfully loaded all the iol stuff correctly the first try, so i am super proud of that! :)  

    Dan, in your Pastie, you have two variables defined.  

    1.   var dbid = "bnq3c9658"; (<-- I am guessing this one is just the dbid before the ? of the table the data is coming from??)
    2.   var dbidRecords = "bnq3damiq";  (<--where does this one come from??)
    3. This is my first additional thing to add to the "module.js".  The code you have listed: https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bgcwm2m4g?a=dr&rid=658, does that go in a Formula Field in a same Table as the variables above or do you just add a few carriage returns after the "Generic User Defined Page" stuff you so kindly provided us to get started and paste it there, meaning in "module.js"?  _\_(_)_/__ 
    Carlos, do you mind sharing your code for how you got your Grid Edit report into the iFrame? :-)

    Thank you both in advance!!

    1 & 2:

    The naming convention I have adopted it to create a JavaScript variable dbid and assign it the dbid of the application and to create additional JavaScript variables (one for each table) with a prefix of dbid followed by a human readable name for the table (eg dbidClient).

    You have to set up the IOL technique to use this code: Directions here:

    Jana,
    As Dan commented, the only thing needed is to add the IOL field in the table being displayed, and the buttons should show. 
    Scriptwise, it's a copy/paste solution.

    Thanks Carlos & Dan!  Actually, I got the initial part of the IOL technique down, but missing the how to code the iframe of my grid edit report and where exactly to put this code:

    (function(){

      var querystring=document.location.search;

      var dbid = "bnq3c9658";
      var dbidRecords = "bnq3damiq";
      var apptoken = "dbjtzhvncf9fjgbbpfmqxfwsv2wj";
      $.ajaxSetup({data: {apptoken: apptoken}});

      if (/dlta=mog/i.test(querystring) && /ifv/i.test(querystring)) {
        var markup ='
          <div class="RightColumn NoWrap PageNavBarActions" id="pageNavBarActions">
          <a id="saveAction" href="#" class="Tall Vibrant Success" onclick="GeditDoSave(gReqDBID, true);">Save</a>
          <a id="applyAction" href="#" class="Tall Vibrant Primary Secondary" onclick="GeditDoSave(gReqDBID);">Apply Changes</a>
          <a id="cancelAction" class="cancelBtn Tall Vibrant FS-Button" onclick="GeditDoCancel();">Cancel</a>
        </div>
        ';

        $(markup).insertBefore("#bodyTable");

      } 

      if (/a=td/i.test(querystring)) {
        $("#facetKeyword").hide();
        $('<input type="text" id="facetKeyword2" maxlength="255" class="FacetKeyword UserInput" placeholder="Search these records">').insertAfter("#facetKeyword")
        $("#facetKeyword2").on("keyup", function(e) {
          var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
          if (keyCode == 13) {
            $("#facetKeyword").val($("#facetKeyword2").val()).trigger("keyup");
          }
        });
      } 

    })();

    Here are my follow up questions.

    1. Does the above code go into an independent module.js with a new name or actually IN the original module.js created with the instructions provided....OR does it go in a field?   
    2. My Grid Edit report is:  https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/bnjxiqkg3?a=q&qid=8">https://southwest.quickbase.com/db/bnjxiqkg3?a=q&qid=8">https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/bnjxiqkg3?a=q&qid=8.  I know i have a Rich Text Formula to put the code in, but what do i wrap this with to make the iframe work?  Like i said, this is my first one, so with a little guidance, i'll be off to the races after this weee bit of hand holding. :)  
    Thanks again fellas!

    create a button that opens the new report in an iframe...
    "javascript:void(window.open('" & URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_TABLENAME] & "?a=q" & [Token] &"&qid=15&query={%2239%22.IR.%22this+mon%22}&dlta=mog~&ifv=1','PopUp').focus());"
