type BeforeSave()

[AJ Mercer]

after a form submit to update a type in webtype, if a type property does not have a corresponding FORM field, it appears that Farcry drops in the previous value - somewhere before beforeSave() is fired.

The situation I have is with checkboxes - if none are checked, there is no form field (same for radiobutton).

I need to be able to update the property to blank if no check boxes are checked - not leave it in it's previous state.


So, normally I add cfparam for these sort of form fields
Where would I need to add this in Farcry?

Or is there another way of handling this situation?

Don't understand "webtype" but maybe You could use "bSessionOnly?


<ft:processForm action="Save" exit="true">

<ft:processFormObjects typename="yourtypename" bSessionOnly="true" />

<!--- if a yourtypename object was succesfully saved --->
<cfif len(lSavedObjectIDs)>

<!--- get the yourtypename object data  --->
<cfset stdata = getData(objectid=lSavedObjectIDs) />

<!--- write email to db --->
<cfset obj = createObject
('component',application.stcoapi.yourtypename.typePath) />
<cfset stprops = {} />
<cfset stprops.checkboxname = "" />
<cfset stprops.otherstuff = stdata.otherstuff />
<cfset stprops.otherstuff = stdata.otherstuff />
<cfset obj.createData(stProperties=stprops) />

</ft:processForm>

Hi AJ,

What are you using to render the form fields... Is it a farcry generated form or are you writing it yourself?

FarCry checkboxes and radios handle this situation.

It is a facry type with custom ajax and edit functions
I am creating the checkboxes myself in the edit function

So, I guess I need to do something extra
would it be as simple as adding the objectID prefix?

The checkboxes are also dynamically created via ajax functions as well

I believe FarCry solves this by adding a hidden input by the same name with just a space. It forces the browser to submit somthing to the server for that field.

seeing as it is 'my' field - I will just check the FORM scope
rather than stProperties
