ADDNEW() on modal dialog from tab

[wsiconcrete]

Using AppGini 5.82 and have child tables displaying in tabs (also using inline detail view plugin). When I open a record from one of the tabs there is a lookup field that I want to add a new record to but there is no "add" button. Using inspector to view source I see

Code: Select all

<!--ADDNEW(documents) -->

...in the source code where the button should be, where 'documents' is the table row I want to add a record to. Just curious if it is possible to add a new record in a modal opened this way or not. If I go directly to the child table and view a record i do get the add new button fwiw.

Thanks!

Hi,
maybe you should post that on the plugin subforum as it seems related to the plugin, not to the general features.

[...] (also using inline detail view plugin) [...]

Hi,

before creating a new post in a different subforum, can you please (1) deactivate the Inline DV plugin for this table for a second, then (2) clear browser cache and (3) reload a record in detail view. Check the behaviour again.

By deactivating Inline DV Plugin we can narrow down the problem and see if this is related to the plugin, as pböttcher suspects. Usually the Inline DV function does not interfere with (lazy loaded) children-tabs, so I'm confused about "[...] it seems related to the plugin [...]". I did not get any bugreport describing that behaviour, but maybe you are the first.

Best,
Jan

PS: Take care and stay at home!

Hi @wsiconcrete,

I can confirm the described behaviour, it seems you are right: When I open a detail view directly from the table view, there is the Add-button next to the dropdown as I would expect.

But when I open the same record from a children-tab of a parent record...

... the add-button is missing:

And I also can find that kind of comment at the place where I expected the add-button:

Code: Select all

<!-- ADDNEW(accident_types) -->

Is this similar to your scenario? This seems to be the standard behaviour of AppGini 5.82.

Best,
Jan

PS: Inline DV plugin is not installed in that project

[wsiconcrete]

Thank you for the replies Jan! Yes, exactly what I am seeing even with inline-div plugin deactivated (linked video below was after deactivating plugin on all tables then clearing all cache). Mostly I was just curious if this was intended/known behavior or something wrong with my installation. Would be nice for my particular workflow to have the add new button there, but not essential.

Thanks again for your input!

Hi,

so if it is native AppGini, you can try this:

In templates/TABLE_dml.php
search for

Code: Select all

                               // if user has insert permission to parent table of a lookup field, put an add new button
                               if($pt_perm['insert'] && ..... 

and replace it to

Code: Select all

                               // if user has insert permission to parent table of a lookup field, put an add new button
                               if($pt_perm['insert']) {

in templates/TABLE_templateDV.html
search for

Code: Select all

                          if(!embedded_mode) {
                                         /* add a horizontal spacer to [add new parent] buttons that don't have a spacered element before them */

and replace it to

Code: Select all

                            if(1) {
                                           /* add a horizontal spacer to [add new parent] buttons that don't have a spacered element before them */

[wsiconcrete]

That got the buttons back. And FWIW it kept working after clearing cache and reactivating Inline Detail plugin.

Thanks for the quick assessment and solution!

Can't say enough about this program (AppGini) and all of the great folks on this forum. Stumbled across this community about 5 years ago and it has been so helpful to me and our business. Really excited about some of the updates and plugins that have been/are being released! Hope to see this project keep growing/improving! If anyone doesn't have it yet, get the Javascript Helper from bizzworxx (is it April yet? ), well worth the money!!

Thanks again!

Hi,

I just want to push this thread, as this "error" unfortunately still exists in 5.94
(it's my feature request from viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4221 )

Hello everyone

I remember that I disabled the insert button in modals because it was causing some issues on iOS -- specifically, nested modals (modals opened inside other modals) --- that was a few years ago so perhaps it's now fixed. I'll check it and re-enable the button if it's fixed.

[onoehring]

HI,

great. Thanks for checking.

Hi!

I was also in need of this button because of high use of children tabs

I would also thank you for checking if you can re-enable this feature

[zibrahim]

Hi there,
Good news!!!
It is enabled now in Latest version 5.95 (released on Mar 29, 2021).
Downloaded and tested. Thanks Ahmed!!!

[balfons]
