Hi and thanks in advance! Admin on Rest is a great base to start from to quickly build simple REST admins. I have a scenario where I would like to display and edit related records without leaving the parent. e.g Editing the Options of a Multiple Choice Question from the Question Edit View.
I have managed to implement a modal dialog that allows me to create/edit the Options(passed along as a record prop), however I'm stuck at trying to refresh the list of options on the Question View once I have successfully saved the Option.
I'm relatively new to React. Would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
ReferenceManyField doesn't provide controls for filtering or pagination. However, it's quite straightforward to create some. Start by creating your own component using ReferenceManyField as a base. Store the page, sort, and filter as properties. Add methods that change these properties and re-trigger fetchReferences. Add buttons (pagination, filtering, etc) that trigger these methods.
But if you'r new to React, this won't be easy. I suggest you learn React first.

Newbie here and I don't know where to ask this, but could someone please tell me what is this?
I am really new to this, so my first guess is a User Interface (like jQuery UI)
It is an online drag+drop timetable/organizer where there is a list of activities (with expandable details), which you can filter and add to your timetable and create an activity plan for children then save it or print it.
My Scout group would like to create something similar on our homepage and I would really appreciate some tips+tricks where to start. Our website is a Wordpress site.

I see evidence of Bootstrap v2.1.0. jQuery is therefore required, and jQueryUI is also being loaded, including Draggable, Sortable, Accordion, and Resizable, among others.
Twitter Bootstrap 2
jQueryUI + ThemeRoller
In short, it's a combination of technologies along with some proprietary graphics and scripting.
I'm trying to learn some basic knowledge of jsp, suppose that I have a project, in this project, after signing in, I have a Main.jsp with a calendar or a dropdown list in it, when selecting a date, I'll change the UI based on the data from database.
I can put all relevant data into request after signing in, and use JSTL in Main.jsp, but if the data is huge, this doesn't sound like a good idea, right?
Back to the old age when there's no JSTL or AJAX, how does jsp developer deal with this? And what is the best practice nowadays?
Thanks.
If you are talking to render about without JSTL or AJAX, the only option i see is to submit/send the form to server and get it back with updated view, but yes it will cost a lot in terms of performance.
I think for your use case:
1) you can get the data from server via AJAX on every update,
2) or, if the data is not customer dependent and is fixed in terms of UI, you can load it lazily in background, and change the view immediately on the user action.
I am trying to wrap my head around how these are all connected. I am trying to add some functionality to my main activity AJAX query if a button is clicked. I see the _inc/ajax.php to edit and have looked through it, but not sure where to edit it to include new options or new loops.
As of now it seems I can find some of the features listed but I am getting stuck on how they get connected up specifically when creating my own new custom loops to be used. I created a update-loop.php and put this in my theme folder in a new directory called 'update' but can't seem to get it loaded up correctly.
All I want is to get the filtering option to filter new blog posts. (if possible new blog posts from a specific category, which looking through the available options and don't see it anywhere). Note I am NOT using wordpress Mu.
Thanks for any help or guidance, I have asked on the buddypress support forums (lost cause) but I never get any feedback or any peep out of any one there.
---------EDITED:
Let me clearly ask at least one question that would be very helpful in my knowledge and future development with buddypress in working using AJAX.
How can I/If possible create my own custom loops and use them within the ajax filtering options on the main activity wall?
Please any help would be greatly appreciated...
I don't know if you custom functionality is (seperate) plugin but take a look at this:

I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking or what you want to do....
I am setting up a simple CRUD page for my website content and would like to know if codeigniter has any in built functions for displaying confirmation messages.
As I will be giving the user the ability to delete rows from the database I will need a layer of confirmation before they are able to deleted the row.
What is the best method/ suggested way of doing this in codeigniter? I have previously just used javascript, but would like to know if there is another way?
Have you looked into GroceryCRUD? Implementing this might save you some time.
However, your only real options are to use a javascript confirm() dialogue or to direct the user to an intermediary page (another action in your CRUD controller) which provides the user with confirmation options.
If you're aiming to implement the Javascript solution you might wish to consider creating the delete links with javascript too, that way users without Javascript enabled will not be able to delete. This has it's obvious downsides but will prevent users deleting rows without confirming first.
I have 2 entities (for this example) in CRM 2011 - Account and Case. The Account holds all of our clients, the case holds individual work actions for an account. When a case is created one of the input fields is the Account.
What I would like to do is upon the user selecting the Account, execute some javascript to look up the account entity to display some additional information.
So far I have got the javascript working that triggers the onchange event of the Account field, and it correctly gets the selected Account, but I don't know what the next step is.
I'm new to CRM so don't really know if what I'm asking is actually sensible, if there is a better way then please let me know.
Thanks!
For the record, the way you were thinking about doing things would be completely supported, and TechHike's method is supported in CRM 4, not CRM 2011. Steps you would take:
Use CRM 2011's web resources to upload a script file that does what you want.
Use the form editor to make your javascript method from step one fire when the Account field changes on the form
Make a request to CRM's REST endpoint (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334767.aspx) to retrieve the details of the account selected
Use the results to populate fields on the form, show a popup with details, etc.
There are plenty of examples of caling the REST endpoint from JavaScript in the SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309408.aspx). Good luck!
Matt's post above contains everything you need to know, but you might also find the blog post below useful. It basically describes the same scenario where you have a 1:n relationship (such as Case and Account) and details how you can pull information from a specified lookup (e.g. account), using the REST endpoint (as Matt has already mentioned) and display it on the form.
http://community.dynamics.com/product/crm/crmtechnical/b/crminthefield/archive/2011/02/07/showing-related-information-in-a-crm-2011-form.aspx
The blog post includes a link to download a CRM2011 solution already built to give you something to look at how they've achieved this (useful if you're new to CRM2011).
There are two ways to do this, and you may be best to do them both in parallel:
on the Account > Case relationship edit the Mappings. When a user goes to an Account and uses the left navigation to look at Cases (or a grid of Cases on the form) then hits "Add New Case" they are creating a Case from inside the "context" of the Account. You can copy any fields you want to from the Account to the Case record at this point - the Mappings define what field from the Account are copied to which target field on the Case. This will always be the most robust, easiest way to do it but relies on the user starting in the right place.
on the Case for you could also add an onChange script to the Parent Customer lookup to fetch the data from the parent record. I think Stephen's link is probably the best way to do this as it does not copy the fields but allows the user to see them anyway, which is better database design (from a purist standpoint) and means the user always sees current info about the Account rather than possibly out of date stuff. Alternatively if you actually need to copy some fields (maybe the customer's normal SLA say) so that you can use these in other such as scripts or workflows on the Case then have a look at this article: Disabling the selection of contacts for opportunities all the way
Although this is about a slightly different topic, the script there fetches the Account details of the parent Contact - you want to fetch values from a parent (llokup) field so the approach is the same, just different in the detail
There are various ways to do this but I would recommend doing it the supported way, without javascript. This may not be as pretty but it is likely much easier. The scenario would be to add a left navigation link to the case entity that when clicked will update the content area to show the details of the account.
To add a link to the left navigation you will need to configure the isv.config file to have an extra link for the case entity.
Here's an example:
http://support.sfusion.com/kb/hosted-microsoft-crm-4/how-do-i-modify-the-isv-config-file-in-microsoft-crm-4/
You can also lookup isv.config customizations in the SDK, found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=82e632a7-faf9-41e0-8ec1-a2662aae9dfb&displaylang=en
Next you will need to create a custom aspx page in the ISV folder of the web server. This page will display all the information about the account that you want to show the user when the left navigation link is clicked. The ISV.config as an xml property that allows you to pass all the context params to your page on the querystring. Make sure when you create the link to turn on this attribute.
Now the only tricky part is that in the page you will need to use the CRM web service to display all the account details that you interested in showing the user. I won't do into details on this. You can find great tutorials on the web or in the SDK if you haven't done this before.
