Trying to add a Clone button to View

[Tony Anytime]

As you can see below I add a CLONE button to form in Index.html following same method  the other buttons use. The button would simply create a duplicate of the record in focus .
The question is what is the best way to make it work, also how can I make it disappear and appear on just the view need. 

Thanks in advance

Hi, Tony

You can clone a record as follows:

var clone_fields;

function clone_record(item) {
    // task.customers_report.customers.value = item.selections;
    // task.customers_report.print(false);
    clone_fields = {};
    item.each_field(function(f) {
        clone_fields[f.field_name] = f.value;
    });
    item.insert_record();
}

function on_edit_form_created(item) {
    if (clone_fields) {
        try {
            for (let field_name in clone_fields) {
                let field = item.field_by_name(field_name);
                if (!field.system_field()) {
                    field.value = clone_fields[field_name];
                }
            }
        }
        finally {
            clone_fields = undefined;
        }
    }
}

You can write on_after_scroll to disable or enable a button.

In the code below the buttons are disabled when the paid field value is true.

function on_after_scroll(item) {
    clearTimeout(scroll_timeout);
    scroll_timeout = setTimeout(
        function() {
            if (item.view_form && item.rec_count) {
                item.view_form.find("#delete-btn, #paid-btn").prop("disabled", item.paid.value);
            }
        }, 50
    );
}

Regards,

Thank You Again

[Tony Anytime]

    item.view_form.find("#new-btn").prop("disabled", true);    This works to disable button... is there property I can us to make it not show at all. I want button invisible.  Thanks

[Andrew Yushev]

Of course 

let btns = item.view_form.find("#delete-btn, #paid-btn");

if (item.paid.value) {

    btns.hide();

} else {

    btns.show();

}

The code is needed to understand why your buttons are ignored.

The code in the task client module and in index.html.

This works great, but so far I have to put it in every function on_view_form_created(item)  or it will still show the default settings which is display.

I tried putting it in  Task client module or group client modules and it seem to ignore it.

Just to remind you, I am defining buttons in Index.html and then using them in each view as needed. So by default they seem to always be on first.

thanks

Hi Andrew.

Regarding to "clone record" functionality, if I want to clone record "x" times based on value in some filed that contains desirednumber of clones, how to write that code?

Regards

Danijel Kaurin

[Andrew Yushev]

Hi, Danijel

You can use this function, it inserts 5 records:

function print(item) {
    let clone_fields = {};

    item.each_field(function(f) {
        clone_fields[f.field_name] = f.value;
    });

    for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        item.insert();

        for (let field_name in clone_fields) {
            let field = item.field_by_name(field_name);
            if (!field.system_field()) {
                field.value = clone_fields[field_name];
            }
        }

        item.post();
    }

    item.appy();
}

Thank you Andrew :)

[Andreas Schneider]

the code works for text fields and dates ... but not for lookups

(sorry for hijack)

[Andrew Yushev]

Hi,

The function below should work for lookup_fields as well:

function insert_copys(item) {
    let clone_fields = {};

    item.each_field(function(f) {
        clone_fields[f.field_name] = [f.value, f.lookup_value];

    });
    for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        item.insert();

        for (let field_name in clone_fields) {
            let field = item.field_by_name(field_name);
            if (!field.system_field()) {

                field.value = clone_fields[field_name][0];
                field.lookup_value = clone_fields[field_name][1];
            }
        }
        item.post();
    }
    item.appy();
}

Best regards
