Re: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
OK, I see, they might only post the form on the first search. I would say then that yes, you'd need to use javascript to intercept the link clicks and grab the search form variables, and append them to the end of the pagination link as url parameters, then do a window.location.href with the new url string. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 11:05 AM Subject: RE: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters? >I thought about that, but I usually integrate the search parameter form > into the results page.

Re: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
What I've done is loop over all the search form fields (that have been param'ed) and create a url string variable that gets used by links. One thing that simplified it was that I was using fusebox and all the form and url variables end up in the attributes scope.

RE: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
I thought about that, but I usually integrate the search parameter form into the results page. In this case, the user would intuitively select an option from, say a dropdown to select a location, then click the a pagination link. The only way it would work would be to separate my search parameter form from the results page, which I'd like to avoid. However, I'm keeping that as an option if the links should fail. As I think about it, I would probably still have to separate my search parameter form from the search results whichever approach I take. Perhaps I can utilize some javascript to grab the form variables upon change and then either use form variables or URL variables. Thoughts?

Re: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
Rick, Why not create a session variable to hold the search parameters? Then if the form is re-submitted, i.e. the search parameters are changed, you can re-assign the new form values to the session variables. Then you would reference the session variables rather than the form variables in your query. This way you don't have to mess with the paging links' url params at all. -- Josh - Original Message - From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 8:59 AM Subject: RE: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters? > Thanks for the feedback, Nathan... > > I'll check into adding the URL params. > > Hey, if I add the request to riaforge, any chance the solution > might be integrated in the next 24 hours? jk :o) > > Rick > >> -Original Message- >> From: Nathan Strutz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 11:15 AM >> To: CF-Talk >> Subject: Re: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters? >> >> Rick, >> >> I think Sonny's got it right.

Thanks for the feedback, Nathan... I'll check into adding the URL params.

Re: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
Rick, I think Sonny's got it right. Pagination.cfc doesn't post anything, but if you can move all your form variables to your URL, something like: Then you may have to modify your app to work with URL instead of form vars. The alternate way to do it is to make a custom pagination cfc to extend my Pagination.cfc and override some of the methods in order to get the HTML output the way you want. This is discussed a little bit here: http://www.dopefly.com/projects/pagination/pagination_cfc_documentation.cfm#Section6 I guess you would need to override renderHTML(), maybe even just "decorate" it - that is, call super.renderHTML(), run some regEx's on what's returned and return that. The 3rd way to do it is to submit a feature request to the riaforge site and wait for it. :) On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 7:00 AM, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It is as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not sure about the > impact on the Pagination.cfc.

RE: Pagination CFC: How to pass search parameters?
It is as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not sure about the impact on the Pagination.cfc. And I'd have to check with Nathan on that and about how to do it. The Pagination.cfc creates its own HTML that is inserted into the calling page. Perhaps Nathan will notice this message. If not, I'll email him, too. I can have a look and check out that route for the params. Thanks, Sonny!
