Browsing Records in a Template

[JGallo]

I'm using a template from which users can view the details of a selected record. Is there a way to have a "next" button within the template that will allow users to browse records without returning to the original grid?

Use the [[FormNavBar_unit]] or [[GridNavBar_unit]] to place the Nav bar in the template. Use dbNavigationItems to produce the desired buttons.

See 'Introduction to ASP-db Template Programming' in manual.

I assume you are in Classic Mode !!

I looked at the manual, and I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do. The example is kind of confusing. I tried putting the template tags into my html template as you said (and as shown in the example), but nothing happens. You said I needed to use dbNavigationItems, and I am for the original grid, but I'm not clear as to whether or not this needs to be modified for dispay within the template. Do I need to add another line and if so, how does that tie into [[FormNavBar_unit]] or [[GridNavBar_unit]]

Yes, I am using Classic.

Hi,

You're right. There seems to be a problem with getting the navigation bar to show in the template. It will show up if you turn on navigation in your ASP program (x.dbNavigation = "bottom") but then you get "two" of them.

We're working on it and will let you know when we have a fix available.

By the way, are you showing the data in Form or Grid mode in your template?

Thanks,
John

I'm using a form display for my template. Thanks for your help!

Not sure which version you're running there, but try doing this:

Response.write(Session("GRIDSTABAR_unitno") )

Where you put your unit number in for unitno.

Put this AFTER the x.ASPdb call in your code. See if that fixes it. We have a version that will solve it another way, but I'm curious if that gets you going with your current version.

Thanks,
John

I tried adding the line of code and it didn't do anything. The navigation buttons still are missing from the template. Any other suggestions?

[John]

Well, we have a version that fixes this.

Please email [email protected] and ask him for the dll that fixes the Template status bar problem and he'll help you out.

What version are you currently running? Are you under maintenance?

Thanks,
John

[JGallo]

I'm currently running the Gold version. I'm not sure if we're under maintenance as Paul Mancuso is not in the office today. Thanks!

[John]

Ok, well I understand you're working on renewing your maint. as soon as your budget time comes around.

Mark (in support) can send you a dll and an ID file that will expire in a couple months, and that should get you going until the paperwork catches up.

Thanks,
John
