hi guyz this is my first time here. ahmmm i'd like to ask some question regarding session. ahmm
how i cant alert session value from first page to 2nd page using jquery,ajax, or javascript??
please help, im new on that language. ):
You can pass value from one page to other using url query string.
one link to second page add data as parameter like http://your-url.com?data=user-session-value
in the second page call the below javascript function in onload or where you need value
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
you can alert the value like alert(getParameterByName('data'));
In this way your data will show in url. if you don't want to show it then use localstorage. But you need to be in same domain. I mean u can't pass data from one website to other.
In page one just set the data in local storage like localStorage.setItem('data', 'user-session-value');To alert the data in second page call alert(localStorage.getItem('data'));
Hope this can solve your issue... Happy coding...
I'm currently trying to implement AJAX results filtering on a certain page.
I created the dropdowns(on the client side), so that they have the umbraco prevalue id as their value.
I will then send this id to the server, rather than the text value. Then I loop through my content to find items with this same id.
The problem, however, is that I can't figure out how to get the value id from the property. Everything either returns the text value, or just a 0 value.
This is being performed in an ApiController.
These are all of the options I've tried:
IPublishedContent root = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First();
var downloads = root.Children.Where(q => q.Name == "Downloads").SingleOrDefault();
foreach (var item in downloads.Children)
{
var test = item.GetPropertyValue<int>("classification");
var testing = item.GetProperty("classification");
var testVal = testing.DataValue;
var testValToo = testing.GetValue<int>();
var testThree = testing.Value;
}
These are the results in order:
- 0
- IPublishedProperty
- "textValue"
- 0
- "textValue"
Is it possible to get the selected value id from a dropdownlist property? Or is string matching my only option to compare values?
EDIT:
Nevermind, found the solution. Posting the answer here, in case someone else needs it.
I was using the data type dropdownlist. I should have been using dropdownlist:publishing keys.
dropdownlist only ever returns a value. dropdownlist:publishing keys, however, returns the prevalue id, rather than the text value.

Something like this perhaps.
library.GetPreValueAsString(node.GetProperty<int>("sectionType")).ToLower()
I'm working on MVC3 project.
At my controller I already have a code that gets the Descr column from StockClass table. After that I fill a ViewBag with this list in order to retrieve it from the view and populate the dropdown list.
Currently is working fine but only shows Descr field (obviously). What i want is populate the dropdown list with two fields (Code and Descr) in this format: "code - descr".
I tried several ways but i cannot find the way to code the #Html helper correctly.
In my controller...
var oc = dba.StockClass.OrderBy(q => q.Code).ToList();
ViewBag.OrderClass = new SelectList(oc, "StockClassId", "Descr");
In my view....
#Html.DropDownList("StockClassID", (SelectList)ViewBag.OrderClass)
Could you please help me?
I don't believe there is an HTML Helper which will do that for you, but you can get what you're after like this:
var oc = dba.StockClass
.OrderBy(q => q.Code)
.ToDictionary(q => q.StockClassId, q => q.Code + " - " + q.Descr);
ViewBag.OrderClass = new SelectList(oc, "Key", "Value");
This also has the advantage of making the uses of StockClassId, Code and Descr refactor-friendly - if you rename those properties you won't be able to compile without updating this bit of code to match.
I have requirement in which i am getting product ID from external Application with product super_attribute options like color,size. I am getting all those and i can do the add to cart option.
But here my actual requirement is to select the requested options by customer and redirect them to product detail page in magento so that here they can still enter optional text to print. So i need to set the requested options in detail page and redirect them to product detail page instead of adding it to cart. They will enter more details and then they will do addtocart manually.
How can i set the selected options while loading itself.
Please help me.
Thankfully this is already built in to most themes. You need to know the ID of both attributes and values from the Simple product that is included in the Configurable product. I've only seen it work with Configurable types so that might be a limitation.
For each attribute make a key=value pair
Combine the attributes as a query string, eg. "123=345&678=890"
Append the string as a hash fragment (not as a query).
This is an example from the official demo, note that the first option needs to be selected for the second to work so it has two key/value pairs.

Rough Magento2 example add the below for pre-selecting the custom options by name=value in:
/www/mysite/app/design/frontend/mycompany/mytheme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/options.phtml
The below code looks at the label of the option and the text value of the select. And depends on your theme structure. Example below for Luma.
It expects the following format in the url
product.html?SelectLabel=OptionValue&SelectLabel=OptionValue
This does not account for multi language etc.. you could easily adapt it to instead look for the select id and option id which would be more accurate replacing
$(label).parents().eq(1).find('select option:contains('+arr[k]+')').attr('selected', true);
with (untested)
$("#"+k+" option[id='"+arr[k]+"']").attr("selected", "selected");
<script>
require(['jquery'],function($){
$(document).ready(function(){
function getJsonFromUrl() {
var query = location.search.substr(1);
var result = {};
query.split("&").forEach(function(part) {
var item = part.split("=");
result[item[0]] = decodeURIComponent(item[1]);
});
return result;
}
var arr = getJsonFromUrl();
for (var k in arr){
if (arr.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
//alert("Key is " + k + ", value is" + arr[k]);
var label = $('.product-options-wrapper').find("span:contains('"+k+"')");
$(label).parents().eq(1).find('select option:contains('+arr[k]+')').attr('selected', true);
}
}
});
});
</script>
My main question here is dealing with the pramas map when having a one-to-many relationship managed within one dynamic form, as well as best practices for dealing with one-to-many when editing/updating a domain object through the dynamic form. The inputs for my questions are as follows.
I have managed to hack away a form that allows me to create the domain objects shown below in one Dynamic form, since there is no point in having a separate form for creating phone numbers and then assigning them to a contact, it makes sense to just create everything in one form in my application. I managed to implement something similar to what I have asked in my Previous Question (thanks for the people who helped out)
class Contact{
String firstName
String lastName
// ....
// some other properties
// ...
static hasMany = [phones:Phone]
static mapping = {
phones sort:"index", cascade: "all-delete-orphan"
}
}
class Phone{
int index
String number
String type
Contact contact
static belongsTo = [contact:Contact]
}
I basically managed to get the values from the 'params' map and parse them on my own and create the domain object and association manually. I.e. i did not use the same logic that is used in the default scaffolding, i.e.
Contact c = new Contact(params)
etc...., i just looped through all the params and hand crafted my domain objects and saved them and everything works out fine.
My controller has code blocks that look like this (this is stripped down, just to show a point)
//create the contact by handpicking params values
def cntct = new Contact()
cntct.firstName = params.firstName
cntct.lastName = params.lastName
//etc...
//get array of values for number,type
def numbers = params['phone.number']
def types = params['phone.type']
//loop through one of the arrays and create the phones
numbers.eachWithIndex(){ num, i ->
//create the phone domain object from
def phone = new Phone()
phone.number = num
phone.type = types[i]
phone.index = i
cntct.addToPhones(phone)
}
//save
My questions are as follows:
What is the best practice of handeling such a situation, would using Command objects work in this case, if yes where can i found more info about this, all the examples I have found during my search deal with one-to-one relationships, I couldn't find an example for one-to-many?
What is the best way to deal with the relatiohsips of the phones in this case, in terms of add/removing phones when editing the contact object. I mean the creation logic is simple since I have to always create new phones on save, but when dealing with updating a contact, the user might have removed a phone and/or editing an exiting one and/or added some new phones. Right now what I do is just delete all the phones a contact has and re-create them according to what was posted by the form, but I feel that's not the best way to do it, I also don't think looping over the existing ones and comparing with the posted values and doing a manual diff is the best way to do it either, is there a best practice on how to deal with this?
Thanks, hopefully the questions are clear.
[edit] Just for more information, phone information can be added and deleted dynamically using javascript (jquery) within the form [/edit]
disclaimer: i do not know if the following approach works when using grails. Let me know later.
See better way for dynamic forms. The author says:
To add LineItems I have some js that calculates the new index and adds that to the DOM. When deleting a LineItem i have to renumber all the indexes and it is what i would like to avoid
So what i do
I have a variable which stores the next index
var nextIndex = 0;
When the page is loaded, i perform a JavaScript function which calculates how many child The collection has and configure nextIndex variable. You can use JQuery or YUI, feel free.
Adding a child statically
I create a variable which store the template (Notice {index})
var child = "<div>"
+= "<div>"
+= "<label>Name</label>"
+= "<input type="text" name=\"childList[{index}].name\"/>"
+= "</div>"
+= "</div>"
When the user click on the Add child button, i replace {index} - by using regex - by the value stored in the nextIndex variable and increment by one. Then i add to the DOM
See also Add and Remove HTML elements dynamically with Javascript
Adding a child dinamically
Here you can see The Paolo Bergantino solution
By removing
But i think it is the issue grow up when deleting. No matter how many child you remove, does not touch on the nextIndex variable. See here
/**
* var nextIndex = 3;
*/
<input type="text" name="childList[0].name"/>
<input type="text" name="childList[1].name"/> // It will be removed
<input type="text" name="childList[2].name"/>
Suppose i remove childList1 What i do ??? Should i renumber all the indexes ???
On the server side i use AutoPopulatingList. Because childList1 has been removed, AutoPopulatingList handles it as null. So on the initialization i do
List<Child> childList = new AutoPopulatingList(new ElementFactory() {
public Object createElement(int index) throws ElementInstantiationException {
/**
* remove any null value added
*/
childList.removeAll(Collections.singletonList(null));
return new Child();
}
});
This way, my collection just contains two child (without any null value) and i do not need to renumber all the indexes on the client side
About adding/removing you can see this link where i show a scenario wich can gives you some insight.
See also Grails UI plugin
Thanks,
Your answer brought some insight for me to do a wider search and I actually found a great post that covers all the inputs in my question. This is just a reference for anyone reading this. I will write a blog entry on how I implemented my case soon, but this link should provide a good source of ino with a working exmaple.
http://www.2paths.com/2009/10/01/one-to-many-relationships-in-grails-forms/
Most of the time I use ajax to manage such problem.
So when the user clicks add new phone I get the template UI from the server for manageability purpose ( the UI just same GSP template that I use to edit, update the phone), so this way you are not mixing your UI with your js code, whenever you want to change the UI you have to deal only with our GSP code.
Then after getting the UI I add it to the page using jquery DOM manipulation. Then after filling the form when they hit add(save) the request is sent to the server via ajax and is persisted immediately.
When the user clicks edit phone the same UI template is loaded from the server filled with existing phone data, then clicking update will update the corresponding phone immediately via ajax, and same thing applies to delete operation.
But one day I got an additional scenario for the use case that says, "until I say save contact no phone shall be saved on the backend, also after adding phones to the contact on the ui if navigate away to another page and come back later to the contact page the phones I added before must be still there." ugh..
To do this I started using the Session, so the above operations I explained will act on the phone list object I stored on the session instead of the DB. This is simple perform all the operation on the phonesInSession but finally dont forget to do this(delete update):
phonesToBeDeleted = phonesInDB - phonesInSession
phonesToBeDeleted.each{
contact.removeFromPhones(it)
it.delete()
}
I know I dont have to put a lot of data in session but this is the only solution I got for my scenario.
If someone has got similar problem/solution please leave a comment.
First, in all your input fields names you add an #:
<input type="text" name="references[#].name"/>
Second, add call a function before submitting:
<g:form action="save" onsubmit="replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers();">
Third, this is the code for the function that you call before submitting the form:
function replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers(){
var inputs = $('form').find("[name*='#']");
var names = $.map(inputs, function(el) { return el.name });
var uniqueNames = unique(names);
for (index in uniqueNames) {
var uniqueName = uniqueNames[index];
replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers("input", uniqueName);
replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers("select", uniqueName);
}
}
function unique(array){
return array.filter(function(el, index, arr) {
return index === arr.indexOf(el);
});
}
function replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers(inputName, name){
counter = 0;
$(inputName + "[name='" + name + "']").each(function (i, el) {
var curName = $(this).attr('name');
var newName = curName.replace("#", counter);
$(this).attr('name', newName);
counter += 1;
});
}
Basically, what the code for replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers() does, is to create a list for all input (or select) elements whose name contains an #. Removes the duplicates. And then iterates over them replacing the # with a number.
This works great if you have a table and you are submitting the values to a command object's list when creating a domain class for the first time. If you are updating I guess you'll have to change the value of counter to something higher.
I hope this helps someone else since I was stuck on this issue for a while myself.
