I want to know where and how does magneto store the data to maintain grid filter and mode type. Like I go to listing page and select list mode while displaying five records and then goes to other page of the same site and comeback. It shows me my previous grid mode and records. I display $_REQUEST, but doesn't see anything there. Anyone knows how I can get those values?
Magento store limit,order,direction in Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session').
If limit,order,direction is found in REQUEST then new value is set in Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session') .
You can check getLimit(),getCurrentMode(),getCurrentOrder(),getCurrentDirection() function in the class
app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List\Toolbar.php

I'm trying to find a way to get the page number of a specific record.
This is my problem, after I add a new line I reload the grid, with sorting on, the new line can end up on any page. I need to be able to find the page number of that specific record, so I can navigate to its page and select it.
How can I do that, without having to load every page until I find it.
As I see to to accomplish where you would add a new record, reload the grid and then have that displayed page be the page where the new record would be found in a sorted grid. As a solution I think you would need to set the reloadAfterSubmit: false, and then generate your own reload where you would pass in (via postData) a value that would tell your controller to change the page of data to return to the jqGrid.
When the controller would receive a value in this field you would have to write some code to find which page of data the record would belong to and then pass that page to the jqGrid.
As the grid would be sorted, you could find where where that record would be in the sorted dataset and then grab that page. If you didn't have a very large dataset you could just iterate through every page till you found the page that would contain your result, but the method would depend on how large of dataset you would have. (Ex 5 pages of records, probably acceptable to just iterate through them all, as the dataset becomes larger you will have to look into fetching the proper page of data.)
I have a bit of a unique challenge today. I have a client that wants to be able to search for multiple items based on inserts into a cfgrid. Suppose we have the following web form:
A Country selection dropdown
A State Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
A city Selection dependent AJAX dropdown
An ADD Button
----------------------------------------------------
A CFGRID that will populate a row with selections when the user clicks the add button
----------------------------------------------------
And finally, a CLEAR button, and a GO button on the bottom.
The resulting page will then query the database and get some statistics about the cities selected. So, suppose an individual picks USA > Arizona > Scottsdale and USA > Arizona > Flagstaff. The grid below the options will 'save' each selection and reset to their default options, waiting for a user to pick additional options or click on 'GO'.
The resulting page will then generate columns that list some statistics about the communities and highlight the 'best of' between each selected community.
Each time a user selects the ADD button (assuming three criteria are selected) I want the information to be added into a CFGRID that displays the options selected. Then, After the user selects at least one country/city/state option, have all of the data in the CFGRID get passed to another page that does a query from the data selected. In theory, the user could pick as many communities as they want, assuming they are willing to let the database sludge through enough data to get what they want and wait through a 'loading' screen to get it.
I'm having these challenges, in no particular order:
- I have an HTML grid that I must use per client spec (No Java or Flash, must be HTML)
- I have no idea how to get the selected options into the CFGRID. I assume there is some JavaScript I can write that uses some sort of AddRow function to add data into the grid with the add button but cannot seem to find how to it on the interwebs
- After we conquer the above challenge, how do I pass the data from the grid into the results page? I thought about passing one big string or a structure, but I'm not sure how to do that through the URL or posting, nor how to get the data out of the grid. I wonder if I am better off coding some sort of string that gets passed from the options page to the results page with a get method instead of dealing with the stuff in the CFGRID and have the CFGRID serve only as a 'dummy' display container.
- Finally, after the pass is complete, I would need to loop through through the structure and perform a CFQUERY or CFSTOREDPROC on each row of data, then get the statistics I need to display on the results page. I assume this would depend on how I am getting the data from the options selection page to the results page.
THANK YOU ALL!
CFGRID is great to start, but it can be b*tch to customize and extend... Have you tried editable CFGRID with bind? See how far off it is from what you want first. If it turns out to be very far, then you might want to go for a jqGrid and code up some jQuery.
To start, read Using HTML grids and make the cfgrid editable.

Once you got that working, look at these provided JS functions that you can use with CFGRID

If you still demand a bit more, you might need to dig into the underlying ExtJS component. At that point I would rather use jqGrid
I found out that the best way to handle this was by using a SerializeJSON call and a Deserialize JSON call back and forth. By using JavaScript notation we are able to pass a complex JavaScript object (array) between one page and another. This has the value add of not having to worry about sessions timing out and making URLs clickable from one solution to the next.
I have been working with jqgrid and like it a lot. I am currently wondering if there is a specific way to handle adding records to the grid when doing pagination on the server side. So here is how I think it should work:
1) Enter new record on client side using the grid add feature
2) Send new record to server (without displaying it)
3) Server determines where the new record is to be inserted in the pagination set on the correct page (since the data is sorted the new record needs to be inserted in the pagination model that may not currently be displayed)
4) Returns the new set of records (page) to be displayed that contains the new record
5) Preselect the new record in the set
6) Make sure the selected record is seen in the viewable area of the grid
I have tried searching for exactly what I am looking for but have not had much luck. I'm hoping someone here can help shed some light on what I am trying to do. Thanks!
Reload the grid and try
function reloadGrid(txtJSON)
{
jQuery("#list").jqGrid('setGridParam', {postData:{searchDetails:txtJSON}});
jQuery("#list").trigger("reloadGrid");
}
I have created a Sample Module (Admin Side) in Magento.. I managed To created a form and Then Stored the form field values in Database. Now I am trying To create a search view for that. to show me all the values which i have stored in my table. however i am not able to get it. when i press the tab I directly get the form view. I want the search view first and a button there which ll direct me to this form. I want it the same way as it is for product, category or any other module. Do anyone Know How can I do it.
It's called a grid. The process is kind of long to explain here, but if you search online there are a few tutorials that explain how to do it (here's one that I found useful: http://www.webspeaks.in/2010/08/create-admin-backend-module-in-magento.html). Keep in mind that you can also model your own code after core code. If you want to make a grid like the Category grid, then go look in the code how its made.
I have a View (block display) listing node titles of a certain content type displaying the latest 12 published items. It displays underneath all nodes of a specific type.
What I'd like to do is be able to load the next 12 items with AJAX (I know the pager does this but I was hoping to avoid it) and also control the offset based on the node title.
I think the second request can be achieved with the row number in the query but so far I'm having trouble achieving a working script.
you always can call view results from Drupal API:
$results = views_get_view_result('my_view',$display, $args)
and in arguments you can pass start/end number of items, or something else, depends how you sorting your results
Well, instead of that work, how about selecting the mini pager? I'm pretty sure it only shows previous and next links. If it's not the exact display you want to use, you can override theme_views_mini_pager (from views/theme/theme.inc, line 636) to only show what you need.
