jqgrid multiple datepickers and autofocus - jqgrid

i think i found a strange bug in jqGrid.
If you click on this link you can see a jqGrid with a pager. If you click on the '+' button you get the add form in which the 2 datepickers work as expected.
If you now click on this link you can see the very same table, and the very same add button. Anyway if you try to set the second date using tha datepicker you will notice that the focus moves back to the first input, opening the first datepicker.
The example does not work because it has the first field (Id) hidden, so the real first field is a datepicker. Moreover, the edit form is modal.
Last, if you click in this link the behaviour is correct even if the first field is a datepicker. The only thing i changed is the modal property (to false, before it was true).
However, i NEED to hide the Id field AND have a modal window, so i have to to get rid of this problem...
Can someone suggest a solution or an hint?
Thanks
PS: notice that if you set modal: false, you still get the black/transparent overlay like if the window is modal BUT it is not! If you click outisde the edit form it will be closed. This is not acceptable for my requirements.

try to set jqModal parameter into false
var editParams = {
modal: true,
jqModal:false,
... //other options you need
}
grid.editGridRow(row_id, editParams);

Url Button in Grid

I have a grid that shows a business component data. One field of this table is an Url type. I don't want to show the url as text, i want show only a button that, if pressed, opens the link.
How I can do that?
I found a solution for the problem:
I changed the visible property of the url field to 'false' and added the link to another field of the grid with this code in the 'load' event:
OtherFieldName.LinkTarget= '_BLANK'
OtherFieldName.Link = link(ATT:UrlFieldName)
I hope this can be useful for you.

Is there a way to move match-rule dropdown and "+" button to the right/bottom of Searching Dialog in jqGrid version 4.5.0?

I'm using jqGrid verison 4.5.0 and I noticed by default, the pop-up single field search dialog doesn't look like this:
Is there a way to move "+" button to the right of "-" button and move match-rule dropdown to the bottom, both of them to look like this snapshot? We like it this way as it is less messy to some of our customers.
Many thanks..
JQuery v2.0
JQuery-UI v1.10.3
jqGRID v4.5.0
$('#Spreadsheet').navGrid('#Pager',
{edit:false,add:false,del:false,search:true,view:false,refresh:false},
{}, {}, {},
{multipleSearch:true,multipleGroup:true,closeOnEscape:true,closeAfterSearch:true,
searchOnEnter:true,showQuery:false,width:800,caption:"Search Records"
},
{}
After some discussion in the comment we clarified that the The searching dialog are used with options multipleSearch: true, but without multipleGroup: true. The goal is the hiding of the dropdown which allows the user to choose between "All/Any".
In the answer I showed how one can use afterRedraw to change Searching Dialog.
The demo displays the dialog in the form
It uses the following afterRedraw
afterRedraw: function () {
$("input.add-rule", this)
.button() // use jQuery UI button
.val("Add rule"); // change text of "+" button
$("input.delete-rule", this).button(); // use jQuery UI button
$("select.opsel", this).hide();
}
Only the last line ($("select.opsel", this).hide()) is really important. Other lines just improve a little the look of the Searching Dialog.

How to preserve bootstrap dropdown state on Meteor

I have a bootstrap dropdown button for each table row.
When the dropdown is clicked it shows a small form with some input fields.
When the user submits this form data or the row gets redrawn the dropdown closes.
I tried preserving the dropdown state using the Template.preserve() method, similar to inputs but with no success.
Some suggested using {{#constant}} directive surrounding the dropdown I also have some reactive content inside the form that needs re-rendering, so this options is not for me.
I have noticed this issue with reactive templates and there is no good solution that I know of. This is somewhat of a hack but it works.
Option 1
Manually add and remove a css class to your dropdown. Use session variables to save the state of the dropdown.
This should be the default state of your dropdown... class="dropdown"
When a user clicks on the dropdown use a session variable to save its state and add 'open' to the HTML class attribute. class="dropdown open"
When a user closes the dropdown remove 'open'
Option 2:
1. User clicks dropdown button.
2. Save dropdown button ID as active using a session variable.
3. Use the following callback to reopen your dropdown... Template.myTemplate.rendered = function ( ) {
if (dropdown = active) {
$().dropdown('toggle'); //instead of toggle try 'open'
}
}
I haven't tried this with dropdowns yet but I was having the same issue with modals disappearing every time the template kept rendering. I tried the second option and it didn't work that great. I ended up using something like the first option to solve the issue and it worked great.

jqgrid link to modal dialog of another grid

I try to implement the link from one grid to the modal dialog of another grid. I made an example
to illustrate this problem. If you choose in a context menu (right mouseclick) of each row of the picture grid, you will find some Actions. One of them is "Go to scan info". Here I would like to have a link to modal dialog of grid "Scans" and modal dialog should put the user depending whether the scan record for the selected picture allready exist or not, to the Add/Edit modal dialog.
Does anybody already implemented something like that?
Let us we have two grids on one page: one with id="grid" and another with id="scan". Exactly like you call jQuery('#grid').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) on double-click on the first grid you can call jQuery('#scan').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) in the context menu "Go to scan info". The only thing which you have to know is to know the ids on the second grid. Before calling of jQuery('#scan').jqGrid('editGridRow',id) you can impelemt any additional logic (like testing whether "the scan record for the selected picture allready exist or not").
If I understand, you need insert another jqgrid into modal dialog. Did you try to insert jqgrid function into open event of jquery dialog?
You have to call jqgrid function on demand, not in document.ready statement in this case.
Imo this could work (not tested yet):
$( ".selector" ).dialog({
open: function(event, ui) {
$("#grid").jqGrid({
... all of options...
});
}
});

jqGrid form edit stuck with initially loaded values

When I open form to edit values:
It doesn't change form values when I navigate with <> buttons
It opens New form with same values as first edited row, and when I click "Submit", it overwrites that row instead of creating a new item
When I click to edit another row, it always shows the form values for the first edited row – i.e. if I click New first and then edit row, it shows empty form.
So, in short, the first time form opens, the values are "stuck" whatever row I open later.
What can cause this? I remember it used to work OK some time ago.
UPDATE:
No with recreateForm I don't have this issue (I use it as temporary workaround).
Hm, I can reproduce this on jqGrid example, but not on Live Manipulation - on New in Version 3.7, Add/edit/delete on local data:
Click any row and edit it (open form)
Close form
Select any other row and click edit - form shows incorrect values (from the row that was opened first)
Click Add new row button in toolbar - form shows same values - which is very convenient, usually new rows are "almost" same - if only it would add new row, not update the existing one!
Of course in live demo Submit doesn't do that (it doesn't seem to work at all) but except for this symptoms are same.
Also <> buttons do not change data in form, though they change selected row - but from what I remember previously it used to update form values also to match selected row.
Probably you should post the description of your bug with "New in Version 3.7", "Add/edit/delete" as a bug in the in trirand forum.
The problem is that the bug exist in very special environment/data/settings. For example I tested my old local edit example modified to jqGrid 3.8.1 or in 3.7.2 and can not reproduce the problem which you describes. So you can use my examples as a template could it helps you.
Moreover in all examples which I use for real projects I use always parameter recreateForm:true. If you don't use it jqGrid not create a form, but try to use an existing with other data. It works in a lot of cases wrong. For example if you use any dataInit functions they will be called only once during creating of the form, which can make very strange affects. If you use edittype: 'custom' the usage of recreateForm:true is really mandatory (see this). So I recommended many times all people to use
jQuery.extend(jQuery.jgrid.edit, {recreateForm: true});
to set recreateForm: true as your default settings. You could save many hours or days of debugging of some strange effects in your edit/add dialogs.
