Run Button in a Grid Application (Processing Records)
This new option in the Grid allows to create a button to process a PHP code in selected records (checkbox.
Creating a new button
1. Performing actions on multiple rows of a Grid application can be done creating a new “Run” button in the Grid.
2.Enter the name of "Process" .
3. This kind of button has 2 events to process PHP Codes.
onRecord: runs to each record that was selected.
onFinish: runs after process all selected records.
4. To do our application, first we will create some global variables in onInit event
| Event Grid: OnInti | |
| [i] = 0; |
It will be our Array Key |
|
[total_chked] = array(); |
Array where we will keep all selected values |
5. Now we can use [i] and [total_chked] in the onRecord and onFinish of the Run button.
Event Button: Onrecord
|
|
|
 |
||
|
|
| Event Button: OnRecord | |
| $arr=[i]; | Keeping the key in a local variable |
|
[total_chked][$arr]={ContactName}; |
Assigning the Contact Name to the Array |
| [i]++; | increasing the key to access the next Array position |
Event Button: OnFinish
|
|
|
 |
||
|
|
| Event Button: OnFinish | |
| $tot = count([total_chked]); | Counting the total of checked records. |
| $contacts = $tot." Selected Contacts: "; | Will keep the message to be displayed |
| for($x=0;$x<$tot;$x++){
$contacts .= [total_chked][$x]; if($x == ($tot-1)){ $contacts .= "."; }else{ $contacts .= ", "; } } |
/* This code will check who is the last selected value to add a dot, else add a comma */ |
|
echo "<table width='300px' border='1' bordercolor='#000000' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr> <td colspan='2'><strong> ($tot) Selected Contacts: <strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><font color='#003366'><strong> $contacts </strong></font> </td> </tr> </table>"; |
Display the message with all selected contacts |
6.Now we should access “Application>>Global Variables” to set [i] and [total_chked] to be “OUT” variables.
|
|
|
 |
||
|
|
7.Running the application, select the records and click on the “Process” button.
