Re: [Semediawiki-user] Building dynamic forms

[Ahmed O. <as...@ch...>]

Yaron is correct, I caught him on IRC and he referred me to a feature added
in 2.4. For reference, here's the log from irc:



17:44 < Yaron> Ashex - you can pre-populate the "Service" field in the App
form, using the query string in #forminput or #formlink.
17:45 < Yaron> It would be something like "query
string=App[Service]={{PAGENAME}}".
17:46 < Ashex> Yeah, I've more or less gotten that sorted out.
17:46 < Yaron> Cool.
17:46 < Ashex> I'm just not sure how to populate the second drop-down
17:46 < Ashex> Since its contents depend on what I pick for the Service
17:46 < Yaron> For that one, the "values dependent on" parameter, added
recently in SF 2.4, might be helpful.
17:48 < Ashex> Is it documented somewhere?
17:48 < Ashex> Ah, there it is.
17:49 < Ashex> So, if I use that parameter. When I pick a Service in
Services, it will query for pages matching that service and load it in the
ServerName drop-down
17:49 < Yaron> Yeah, that's the hope, anyway. :)
17:50 < Ashex> Excellent, I'll grab 2.4 and try it out
17:50 < Ashex> Thanks for the advice :)
17:50 < Ashex> Amgine: thanks for poking Yaron :)
17:51 < Yaron> It would actually be great if that one worked for you - not
that many people have tried it out yet, so it's cool to hear about it in
action.
