Select Multiple Records in RecordBrowser

dexcampos

Is there an existing option to have a multiple select of records in the recordbrowser view?
An example usage:
1. select and delete multiple records.
2. select and update a certain field of multiple records.

If there is no existing option, any recommendations on how to implement such thing?

Thanks.

Is there a solution for this already?

Yes, there is such thing - module Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPickerFS or RecordPicker... and I don't know how to use them properly, but I'll ask my collegue to write some docs.

How do you access these Utils? I want to delete my existing Companies records and re-import them, but I can't find the RecordPicker. So I have to delete 70 records manually.

ajb

all existing companies? wouldn't be easier to set up new installation?

Recordpicker is a programmer's module and unfortunately we don't have simple mass delete... I can suggest and help to write simple code to delete records.

I'm not a coder, so setting up a custom module is not in my realm of possibility.

I just thought it would be easier to delete the companies and re-import them, rather than trash the whole installation and re-install (Kill the patient to cure the disease) 🙂

I managed to manually delete everything and re-import. It's all working now. But mass editing functionality would certainly be handy.

EPESI uses lazy delete, therefore mass delete is not really an option as nothing is really deleted and you would end up with these "deleted" records still in the database. Therefore starting from scratch is cleaner.

Hello! Are there already docs written for the RecordPicker? I'm trying to implement it but I can't get it working. A simple example might help please. Thanks.

Hi,
This's old question, but not resolved.
Please give me any sample how to use RecordPicker.

Hi,
I known how to use RecordPicker,

$rb_contact = $this->init_module('Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPicker');

$this->display_module($rb_contact, array('Contact' ,'dest_contact',array(),array(),array()));

$form->addElement('static',null,$rb_contact->create_open_link('Add contact'));

But it only shows in lightbox, I want to show it in Body of module(QuickForm). How to use?

ajb

Try RecordPickerFS - it stand for FullScreen.

pmmvt

Please give some sample code, how to get selected records in RecordPickerFS
Thank

ajb

something like this as the module

    private $rp;

    public function construct()

    {

        $tab = 'contact';

        $this->rp = $this->init_module('Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPickerFS', array($tab));

    }

    public function selected()

    {

        var_dump($this->rp->get_selected());

    }

    public function body()

    {

        $tab = 'contact';

        $this->rp->show($tab, array(), array(), array(), array(), $this->rp->get_path());

        // This 'save' button will override default button added by RPickerFS, but it has to got label __('Commit Selection') !!!

        Base_ActionBarCommon::add('save', __('Commit Selection'), $this->create_callback_href(array($this,'selected')));

    }

Hallo Epesi team,

Somehow I cannot get the RecordPickerFS to work with an ActionBar button like you have implemented on the online Premium Demo - Timesheet module. The Utils_RecordBrowser_RecordPickerFS::open() callback is not called when I click on the ActionBar button and instead the parent module body is displayed again.

I use following in the body() method of the parent module:



$this->record_picker = $this->init_module('Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPickerFS', array($tab));

Base_ActionBarCommon::add('add', __('Select'), $this->record_picker->create_open_href(), __('Select records'));

Help will be highly appreciated!

regards,
Georgi

I've used your code in the contact's module to test it. To solve your issue you have to display_module, because during display it processes callback hrefs.
You've got two options. Use pack module, or init/display

            $this->record_picker = $this->init_module('Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPickerFS', array($tab));

            Base_ActionBarCommon::add('add', __('Select'), $this->record_picker->create_open_href(), __('Select records'));

            $this->display_module($this->record_picker);

            $this->record_picker = $this->pack_module('Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordPickerFS', null, null, array($mode));

            Base_ActionBarCommon::add('add', __('Select'), $this->record_picker->create_open_href(), __('Select records'));
