Show hide fields

Posted by ionacaerex on 01-Jul-2016 00:40

I am new to Rollbase and have been trying to get this to work for days. Any ideas much appreciated.

Code sample below. Trying to make the property type field a condition on showing or hiding another field i.e. property-purchase-value.

Am I missing something - its also added to the 'on change' action for the view.

Thanks

<script>

var Product = rbf_getpicklistcode("property_type");

if (Product == "Flat") {
$("#rbi_L_property_purchase_value").show();
$("#rbi_F_property_purchase_value").show();
} else {
$("#rbi_L_property_purchase_value").hide();
$("#rbi_F_property_purchase_value").hide();
}

</script>

Hi ionacarex,

We have in built client side api to show or hide field.

Could you try rbf_showOrHideField(fieldName, showField, doNotHideResponsiveColumn) instead of using jquery to show or hide field

For details, please refer the following doc link

documentation.progress.com/.../

Thanks and Regards,

Chandu.

Ive tried it again...

Here is the new code...included in  a script section at the very top of my page (which includes tabs)

Still not working :

<script>

rbf_showOrHideField(advanced_amount, false):

</script>

FYI, I dont seem to be able to get any event handlers to activate - at field or page level - is there a generic problem or setting issue maybe?

Thanks

Probably just a typo in this forum, but it should be a semi-colon instead?

Thanks but still no joy :(.

This must be a setting somewhere. I have also changed to ie from Chrome but no joy again...

The script is in a script section at the top of the page and within the 'on load' section of the view page .

This is very frustrating and holding up any further progress with the tool.......HELP....

Its my objective to crack it today - any help and advice much appreciated......

Hi ionacarex,

Please modify the code in below way. and invoke showOrHide() function in events of field.

<script>

function showOrHide()

{

rbf_showOrHideField(advanced_amount, false);

}

</script>

Thanks - but guess what - still not happening :(

When you say invoke showOrHide in the events field, do you mean cut and paste the above code?

Thanks

No. Just place the showOrHide() in Field Events. It will call the showOrHide() function in script component and hide the respective field.

Sorry to be stupid here but I am a non techie...can you clarify what you mean by field events - is this adding it to the Onload of the page or adding it to the events element of the field itself - if the field on what event type?

Thanks

Hi,

I have attached one sample application. After Import please click on "New DemoObj:. Notice that one growl message occur and also notice that 'startDate' field is hidden. 

I have placed the code in "Design this Page-->script component. And invoked functionin onLoad of the "New DemoObj" page.

Hope this helps.[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/25/DemoApp_5F00_v2.xml:320:240]

Hi  satyanarayana/sunku

I appreciate all your help and patience on this.

It is now very frustrating as I have imported your demo app and it works perfectly.

My thoughts are now that my application is not set-up e.g. have I turned scripting/event off by mistake or something.

The only other difference to your app is that I am using tabs on the screen I am trying to apply the script to and that it is an enquiry screen rather than an edit screen - would this make any difference.

I have copied script and placed in same place within the page design. I have not set up any event handlers as I checked your demo app and couldn't find any - please advise if IO should and where?

Thanks again ....

HI ITS WORKING :)

I just re read your instructions and added the onload function and bingo.

Next on to conditioning the field based on the value of a drop down field - any info/posts on how to do this much appreciated.

Thanks and speak soon :)

Dependent picklists might be of help, based on what I understood from your statement.

documentation.progress.com/.../index.html

Can you elaborate on what kind of conditioning you are looking for?
