Master/detail separate icon button for view and edit

ebinnasir · Post by **ebinnasir** » Wed Apr 12, 2023 9:36 am

Hi ! everyone,

In the list page there are edit, view, master/detail view & master/detail edit as group button. To hide the single "Edit" and "View" link/button for each record in the main table of List page by putting the following code in "ListOptions_Load" server event:

$this->ListOptions->Items["edit"]->Visible = FALSE;
$this->ListOptions->Items["view"]->Visible = FALSE;
$this->ListOptions->ShowInButtonGroup = FALSE;

This codes hide those two individual edit, view buttons but master/detail view & master/detail edit is still in group as it was. No change happened . I want two separate icon buttons (remove text "master/detail view & master/detail edit") for master/detail view & master/detail edit respectively (same as "Edit" and "View" link/button for each record). If it is not possible then are there any way to rewrite customized link for "Edit" and "View" link/button of each record which i can use same functions like master/detail view & master/detail edit buttons and remove master/detail view & master/detail edit buttons.

Thanks in advance .

You may try ListOptions_Rendering server event.

Below script allow me to create new button and execute custom command like separate button for master/detail edit and master/detail view.

// ListOptions Rendered event
function ListOptions_Rendered()
{
     // create new button for  master/detail edit on list page
  $item = &$this->OtherOptions['action']->Add("NewEdit");
        $item->Body = "<a class='ew-row-link ew-edit' title='nEdit' data-caption='nEdit' href='GrayRequisitionMasterEdit/" . $this->gray_requisition_master_id->CurrentValue . "?showdetail=gray_requisition_details'>nEdit</a>";
        $item->Visible = True;

// create new button for  master/detail view on list page
  $item = &$this->OtherOptions['action']->Add("NewEdit");
        $item->Body = "<a class='ew-row-link ew-edit' title='nView' data-caption='nView' href='GrayRequisitionMasterEdit/" . $this->gray_requisition_master_id->CurrentValue . "?showdetail=gray_requisition_details'>nView</a>";
        $item->Visible = True;
}

Now i am facing two problems:

how to place this two button beside single "Edit" and "View" link/button for each record in the main table of List page?
what is the code that can replace "edit" and "view" text with button icon like "pen" and "magnifying glass"?
$this->ListOptions->Items["details"]->Visible = FALSE; // write this code for hide master/detail edit and master/detail view button but it doesn't work..

Requesting for suggestions from experts. Thanks

When you are using OtherOptions object to create your custom buttons, you should use Page_Render instead of ListOptions_Rendered server event, since ListOptions_Rendered will be executed each time a row of the table is rendered in that Page.

If you want to create your custom buttons next to Edit/View button, then you should use ListOptions instead of OtherOptions object in ListOptions_Rendered server event. You may refer to the generated code in models/YourtableList.php file.

It should work. I've just tried your code in ListOptions_Rendered server event that belongs to List Page of orders table, and Master/Detail View, Master/Detail Edit, and Master/Detail Copy are hidden completely.

function ListOptions_Rendered()
{
    $this->ListOptions->Items["details"]->Visible = false;
}

But in my case it is not working. showing below error message:

Error
C:\xampp\htdocs\dye_erp\models\GrayRequisitionMasterList.php(2687): Attempt to assign property "Visible" on null

what can i do now?

The list option $this->ListOptions->Items["details"] only exists if you have enabled List -> Multiple Detail Tables.

After implementation above suggestions for creating new button next to Edit/View button on each row of table, code looks like below: I want to use this button similar action of "Master/Detail Edit".

$item = &$this->ListOptions['action']->Add("nEdit");
    $item->Body = "<a class='ew-row-link ew-edit' title='nEdit' data-caption='nEdit' href='GrayRequisitionMasterEdit/" . $this->gray_requisition_master_id->CurrentValue . "?showdetail=gray_requisition_details'>nEdit</a>";
    $item->Visible = True;

After generating codes showing below error:
Error
C:\xampp\htdocs\dye_erp\models\GrayRequisitionMasterList.php(2687): Call to a member function Add() on null

Any suggestions which can solve this issue? Thanks

The error means there is no $this->ListOptions['action']. You may read ListOptions_Load for the available options.

To create additional button on each row next to Edit and View button, then you should use ListOptions_Load and ListOptions_Rendered server events.
