How to use rbf_showOrHideSection without pain?

Posted by Rollbase User on 29-Jan-2011 20:55

I am having pain trying to use the function rbf_showOrHideSection(sectionId, showSection) My View page, my Edit page and my New record page, all use different IDs for the same corresponding section. Consequently, I have to maintain 3 different versions of the same JavaScript code but different IDs. Worse, when I synchronize the 3 pages after a design change, some of the section ID get changed. I then have to find the new IDs and change my code again. How can I get the section id dynamically (base on section name or any other method)? Can the change of section IDs be prevented when we synchronize page design? Thanks.

@Pavel -- I'm just now (Jan 2013) working to hide/show a section and expect to run into the same challenges Claude did in the past. Did you figure out a solution to this problem?

Please use rbf_getSectionIdByTitle() API to determine section's ID.
