Re: $link.setAction

[Luke Majewski]

Ok, so then if I use the addQueryData technique, how do I declare my
function in my class?

so if I have a doAdd funtion declared like:

public void doAdd(RunData data, Context context, int depth) throws Exception
or
public void doAdd(int depth) throws Exception

this anchor tag:
<a href="$link.setAction("myClass").addPathInfo("eventSubmit_doAdd",
"add").addQueryData("depth", $item.depth)">

does not succesfully call the doAdd on the backend (it defaults to the
doPerform function)

So how do I declare my doAdd in my backend so my link succesfully calls it?

thanks again, almost there I think!

Hi,

I think the problem is that you use a link and you alter a hidden field
from a form. The link does not seem to be in <form action="{link}...">
it seems to be a regular link. When you set a regular link you should
use something like this

<a href="$link.setAction("myClass").addPathInfo("eventSubmit_doAdd",
"add").addQueryData("myfield","1")"> +Add</a>

Or something like

<a href="$link.setAction("myClass").addPathInfo("eventSubmit_doAdd",
"add").addQueryData("myfield","$velocityCount")"> +Add</a>

Hidden fields are only transmitted in the request if sent through a
form.

Kind regards

Here it is, it's exactly how you wrote it.

public void doAdd(RunData data, Context context) throws Exception {
    Integer id = (Integer)data.getParameters().getInteger("id");
    // do something
}

a call I succesfully use in other places where I have a submit button
and not a submit link.

and this is the javascript on the form... checked all the obvious like
form name, etc:

function doAdd(depth)
{
    document.Category.id.value = depth;
}

with a hidden field on the form being declared:

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="0">

pretty standard stuff.

thanks for the help!

parameter passing.  There are two ways I can do this, the way I do it
uses javascript to set a hidden field to whatever I need and then I use
the data.getParameters() call on the backend to grab the value.
