Re: 4D Live Window & Pre-Populating a Web Form
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.inug-4d.tech/73516
Jack,
You should be able to achieve this fairly easily. Grab all html from 4D live
window as Alex mentioned. Then insert just the javascript function or
external ref to javascript file in between <head> and </head> tags. And then
set the html back to 4D live window.
Examples:
Say your html looks like this before injecting your JavaScript function:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>HTML From 4D Live Window</title>
<meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 8.7" />
</head>
<body>
__
And after inserting your JavaScript code it may look like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>HTML From 4D Live Window</title>
<meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 8.7" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="myFormAutoLoader.js">
</head>
<body>

Hi Jack,
rewrite the page!
Load it, grab it off LiveWindow, modify it and put it back into live
window, only then let LiveWindow redraw, or unhide or whatever.
Check for the field you need to populate and insert VALUE strings,
next overwrite the form ACTION redirecting it to your own 4D based Web
server thus capturing the resulting data.
I use a similar technique to rewrite pages with links to work offline
with media i downloaded into a specific location.
Thanks to the nature of HTML Pages it is rather easy to acomplish this
task using either brute force string insert/replace aproach or (more
elgantly) using Regular Expressions, though please do not ask me for
the expression :-)

You don't really need Footrunner with V11 because you can easily create your

One thing you can do is put all your static content (javascript,
including the 4daf .js files, css, images) up on an external ISP. That
way, all you're pushing up your pipe is actual data coming out of your
database.

I didn't think so.
I've been using Justin's PRINT FORM code from Summit. Good stuff...
But I solved my original problem. Not sure why the difference but I
was able to get it to work by executing the entire print method twice
vs looping inside it twice. So this works;
vL_TotalPages:=0
vB_BreakNormal:=False
SET PRINT OPTION(Hide printing progress option ;1)
Quotes_PrintShippingForm
vB_BreakNormal:=True
SET PRINT OPTION(Hide printing progress option ;0)
Quotes_PrintShippingForm
Whereas before I was looping twice inside the
Quotes_PrintShippingForm method. Thanks for the reply.

Yes, this limitation still exists on Mac OS X with 4D Live Window. It
works great on Windows, but can be unstable on Mac OS X.
It was worth a shot :)

In the tech note, there is this limitation:
"Currently the execution of JavaScript is only supported on Windows. The
browser layer on Mac OS (Webkit) is simply too unstable when
programmatically executing JavaScript and these instabilities can cause the
4D database to crash. As such the demo database will not function correctly
on Mac OS. "
This is a Mac-only shop...so if this limitation still exists, it isnot a
solution here I'm afraid.
Thanks anyway.

Jason,
I used the Locked function in my method because of simplicity's sake..
you should really create a Wrapper using LOCKED ATTRIBUTE because LA
is also able to tell you if the Record you're trying to take action on
is already Deleted. It's pretty useful.

Jason
First Make your method in to a function
C_BOOLEAN($0) ` True = No issues
C_BOOLEAN($1)
C_POINTER($2) ` Pointer to the table
C_BOOLAEN($ReadOnly)
$0:=False
If ($1)
$ReadOnly:=Read Only State($2->)
If ($ReadOnly)
READ WRITE($2->)
LOAD RECORD($2->)
End If
If (Locked($2->)=False)
DELETE RECORD($2->)
$0:=True
` Optionally if you want
REDUCE SELECTION([Test_Data];0)
End if
If ($ReadOnly)
READ ONLY ($2->)
End if
End if
If everything went smooth, your deletion occurred and your function
returns True.. otherwise status error occurred and you can trap for it
thereafter :-)

Hi Jack,
Check out the JavaScript Injection Tech Note for one idea of how this
could be accomplished.
For both pre-filling and capturing the data you can use the callback
feature to detect what's going on with the page (page load, page submitted).
Then you could inject JavaScript into the page to both fill the values
and to get them back.
Here's the Tech Note:
http://www.4dpartnercentral.com/4DACTION/Web_Solutions/Show.PublicCase?tCaseID=47487
(Note that you need to log into Partner Central to actually download it,
if you click the link on the page above it will not work).
Kind regards,
Josh Fletcher

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.inug-4d.tech/73498
I have need to do the following:
I need to load a web form (from a site over which I have NO CONTROL) from
within my 4D system, and populate some of the forms variables with data from
my 4D system. Then, when the user completes the forms and submits it, I
need to capture all the data entry back into my system.
accomplish this. But, in reading the documentation and looking at the
examples, I don't see quite how I can do this.
Any suggestions of how I can use 4D LiveWindow to do this, or any other
suggestions, will be greatly appreciated (and may result in the receipt of a
glass of VERY fine red wine at the upcoming Summit in Long Beach!)

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.inug-4d.tech/73496
I guess this all makes sense, and it's just that prior to V11 4D was more
liberal about allowing this.
To back up a step then, how should the logic work for my D_Access method?
I've been using it "forever", and now it doesn't work in V11. :(
Basically a simplified version looks like this:
`---------------------------------------------
C_BOOLEAN($1)
C_POINTER($2)
If($1)
UNLOAD RECORD($2->)
READ WRITE($2->)
LOAD RECORD($2->)
Else
UNLOAD RECORD($->)
READ ONLY($->)
LOAD RECORD($->)
End If
`--------------------------------------------
I rely on the method to change the read write state of the current record,
so I have to unload and reload to change state. (right?) Even if I were to
check with RECRORDS IN SELECTION before calling LOAD RECORD, it would return
1 after a DELETE RECORD unless I call UNLOAD RECORD before I delete it.
For Example:
REDUCE SELECTION([Test_Data]) `Records in Selsection = 0
CREATE RECORD ([Test_Data]) `Records in Selsection = 0
SAVE RECORD([Test_Data]) `Records in SelsJason Hect2008-05-16T20:06:45Search EngineSearch the mailing list at Gmanequery
