Can't locate html location of form - html

I need to find where the form is nestled within the code so I can remove a field.
I found the if statements that do the function, but I can't locate where the form is pulled from. THe component I use to process payments doesn't have any fields to adjust, so I have to go to the code.
https://www.chosenpeople.com/main/donate/index.php?option=com_dtdonate&controller=authorizenet&task=authorizenet&Itemid=360
This is the function that pulls the form. . .
if($row->paymentmethod =='authorize.net' && $paymentfrequecy!="once" && $paymentfrequecy!=""){
if(isset($_POST['donations']) && isset($_POST['startdate'])){
$adminmsg.="<tr><td>".JText::_( 'DT_START_DATE').":</td><td> ".$_POST['startdate']."</td></tr>";
$adminmsg.="<tr><td>".JText::_( 'DT_NUMBER_DONATIONS').":</td><td> ".$_POST['donations']."</td></tr>";

Controllers will trigger execution of other views, models etc.
You controller is named something like
/components/com_dtdonate/controllers/authorizenet.php
You need to look at its code (the authorizenet() function) to know what it's doing.
It should be loading the form either from
/components/com_dtdonate/models/forms/authorizenet.xml
or something similar, or building it in code in a view (the view name should be apparent in the controller function you just looked at) i.e.
/components/com_dtdonate/views/someviewname/tmpl/default.php

2sxc - One content-type, one list view, one cshtml, some rows not shown

Using 2sxc to create a new app with only:
- One content type
- 15 rows of data
- One view (razor, single cshtml file)
When I call the #foreach loop, only some of the data is shown in the list view (apparently the ones inserted in the current dnn module and only through the "new" button in the toolbar). If I add the row in the admin panel, it will not show. When I deleted the module and inserted it again, I can see the data in the admin panel, but not in my list view.
Attached screens.
I tried calling the data with:
#foreach(var Content in AsDynamic(Data["Default"])){...}
or
#foreach(var e in List.OrderBy(e => e.Content.Farmaco).Where(e => e.Content.Cat == "1")){
var Content = e.Content;
... }
but the result is the same.
Am I missing something really obvious?

Yes, you're clearly not familiar yet with "raw data" and items-assigned to a modules.
In our code you get the module-data with Data["Default"], whereas the raw-data you would get from a query (then also with Data["Default"] or Data["Whatever-Name-Your-Stream-In-Your-Query"])
If you want to work with all data, you would again use a query, or App.Data["TypeName"] and build on that.

Can't save the data using wbragancia widget yii2 for more than one dynamic form in single view

I am new in yii2 and i am using wbraganca/yii2-dynamicform widget in my view. My question is that I have to use more than two dynamic form in a single view. For single dynamic widget it works fine while saving from controller but others are saving just the last data of dynamic widget, while inspecting the post data in network array index for others except first dynamic form are not increasing (there index is only zero). Would you please suggest how should I have to do. How can I use multiple dynamic-form widget in single view. Thank you in advance.
I believe the problem must be in your view. You should ensure that each control has a unique name and then loop through the post variables in the controller.
<?= $form->field($modelx, "[{$i}]MyVariableName", ['labelOptions' => ['label' => false]])->textInput(['name' =>'myClassNameHere'."{$block}[$i][MyVariableName]"]) ?>
See the 'name' option in the code above. It gives a unique name to each field. Here the $block variable is a unique code I append to each widgetItem class in the DynamicFormWidget.
If I now look at my POST data, I see something like the following:
myClassNameHere0[0][MyVariableName]:1
myClassNameHere1[0][MyVariableName]:11
If this does not help - post a simply example that you cannot get working and I will have a look at it.

PowerBuilder pasting in tabbed data window

I recently started a new job with a company and my first task is to update some quite old software for them.
There is a big back story but basically the software was written in PB8 (around 1997) and no one within the company (including me) has had any experience with PowerBuilder before and as the newbie I have been tasked to update and maintain it until a replacement has been approved and can be developed.
We have the license for PowerBuilder 12.5 so I am using PB12.5 Classic to do everything. The original developer cannot be contacted for support and no documentation exists.
One thing I am trying to understand, that will be a huge help in the future, is how to determine where functions are defined and where variables get their values..
The example I am working on at the moment is the following scenario.
There is a data window with tabs, named tab_detail each tab displays different whatever little orange men are in the tree list.
One of these are called dw_detail which allows pasting of data. None of the other tabs allow pasting of data, but I would like them to. dw_detail has an event rbuttondown() with the following code in it:
Window w_parentwin
If ib_add_mode Or ib_chg_mode Then
w_parentwin = Parent.GetParent().GetParent()
m_dwpaste m_pop_paste
m_pop_paste = CREATE m_dwpaste
m_pop_paste.idw_data = This
If ii_agent_code > 0 And Not IsNull(id_period) And Clipboard() <> "" Then
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = TRUE
Else
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = FALSE
End If
m_pop_paste.m_popup.PopMenu(w_parentwin.PointerX(), w_parentwin.PointerY())
DESTROY(m_pop_paste)
End If
When I add that code to the rbuttondown() event of tab number 2 (dw_adjustment) tab 2 now allows paste when I right click within the dw_adjustment data window but the data gets pasted to the fields within the dw_detail tab not the fields on the dw_adjustment tab.
I have tried debugging and stepping through the code but there are thousands of values in the variable window and without the ability to search I cannot find the variables used above and what their values are or why data gets pasted to the dw_detail tab instead of the dw_adjustment tab when I paste into the dw_adjustment tab.
Basically I am looking for any helpful tips on where to look or what the above is doing and why everything pastes to tab 1 instead of the tab I clicked paste in.
If more detail is needed from code from a different location or more information is needed I am happy to provide it.
As suggested by Seki I found the m_popup when double clicked it came up with wf_pastereturn():
Integer li_idx, li_rows, li_dwrows, li_comm, li_seqno
String ls_approval_type
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount() > 0 Then
li_idx = 1
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Do Until li_idx > li_dwrows
ls_approval_type = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx]
If IsNull(ls_approval_type) or ls_approval_type = "" Then
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.DeleteRow(li_idx)
Else
li_idx++
End If
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Loop
End If
If li_dwrows > 0 Then
li_seqno = Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_dwrows])
End If
li_seqno += 10
If Clipboard() <> "" Then
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.ImportClipboard(1, li_rows, 1, 4, 3) <= 0 Then
MessageBox("Invalid Data", "Unable to paste!", StopSign!)
Return -1
End If
li_rows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
li_dwrows++
For li_idx = li_dwrows To li_rows
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_code [li_idx] = ii_agent_code
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.period [li_idx] = id_period
li_comm = f_new_commission(Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.levy_payable[li_idx]= &
inv_rate.of_CalculateLevyPayable (Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.comm_deductable [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.commission [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_idx] = li_seqno
li_seqno += 10
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_date[li_idx] = Today()
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_user[li_idx] = SQLCA.Logid
Next
Clipboard("")
Return 0
Else
Return -1
End If
I modified the function to use the windows SelectedTab property. Data will now paste into the tab but in the wrong input fields. I looked further and the data columns for the ImportClipboard function do not line up.
How is the best way to change the order of the selected database columns?
Here is a screenshot of what I mean by tabs:
So within the main program window, there are the above tabs, within each tab (where the input fields are) there is a data window labelled with the dw_ prefix.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I think first you should do some short tutorials. Please check out these:
PowerBuilder Classic 12/12.5 guide/tutorials
These are short and useful.
On the other side you are able to select specific variables in your own "watch variable" list, so you do not have to search over the several variables. You can right click on the variable name and do a Quickwatch or you can Insert the variable name in the Watch window.
Br. Gábor
The action with a contextual menu is in 2 times :
handle the mouse right click to display a contextual menu
perform an action among the one or several actions provided by the popup menu
You shown the pbscript that is displaying the menu with PopMenu() if there is something in the clipboard (Clipboard() <> "") and maybe you did not noticed that the pasting action is somewhere else.
Look in m_popup: there must be some code inside that may be hard-coded to paste in dw_detail. If so, maybe that you could store in the window instance variables a reference to the currently processed dw for the contextual menu.
Something like :
datawindow idw_current in the instance variables
then in the rbuttondown() event idw_current = this (this being the datawindow the rbuttondown() event belongs to)
and finally in the menu reuse the id_current instead of a hardcoded dw_detail
Concerning your question about where the variables are modified: what you can do is searching the variables by their name (right click on the target or a single pbl or object then 'search'), and put a breakpoint on the lines where they are affected. If you run in debug mode (CtrlDCtrlT instead of CtrlR) you will be able to trace when a variable is modified.
Paste Problem
Pass 1
It's hard to tell for sure, but I'd look at the code of m_dwpaste.m_popup.m_paste.Clicked. The worse case scenario is that dw_detail is hard coded into that script; the slightly better case is that it has a more flexible routine in there, but somehow dw_adjustment doesn't fit into that algorithm.
Pass 2
With the new information, we can see that the code of wf_pastereturn() (I'm not sure how you got to this script, but this looks like the culprit) is not simply pasting, but doing a lot more that involves specific fields. In fact, it's not just pasting, it's importing the data, which means that it's assuming the contents of the clipboard are not only in a specific format, but match the data set of the DataWindow (see the Columns pane in the DW painter, and be careful not to confuse the data set part of the DataWindow with the UI part). The question is, do you want:
"Pasting" like copying text from Notepad into a browser form; just putting text into the current field?
"Pasting" exactly like the other DataWindow, including assumptions that all the same columns mentioned in the script are in both DataWindows?
"Pasting" something like this script, but customized for the data set in the new DataWindow?
These all require somewhat different solutions, combined with the differences I asked about in my comment about tabs vs. DataWindows.
Finding Stuff
I'm going to give an unapologetically biased point of view, because I'm the author of a tool that, among other things, helps you search PowerBuilder code called PBL Peeper.
If you're looking at code in the Browse tab, and you want to see other mentions of the variable, you can select it, right click, and either
search forward or back within the script
search for the object name in the tree on the left (it'll make more sense when you see it)
search either the rest of the object or the rest of the application
Finding where a variable is assigned is more difficult than it sounds, because of the multiple syntaxes that could be involved.
// assigns a value on instantiation
int i = 1
// assigns a value when executed
i = 1
// does not assign a value
IF i = 1 THEN
// assigns a value possibly if the parameter is passed by reference (kind of like a pointer to the variable)
f_foo (i)
Finding the setting of a variable can be helped by understanding variable scope. If the variable is local, you only need to search the script. If the scope is instance or shared, you need to search the object (as above, pretty easy) and its descendants (easy to go to a given descendant with an RMB on the treeview, harder to search on a set of descendants). If the scope is global, you want to search the entire app.
Finding where a selected function is declared is possible, but you need to know a little secret (or RTFM). The Find on the RMB menu uses the parameters from the Find page, so you need to set Portion Type to All, not just Scripts, to find where functions are declared. Alternatively, you can use the Lists / Scripts pages and find the script using the functions on that page (Find, QuickFind, Filter, etc...).
The tool has a plethora of functionalities that let you find, filter and sift through code to get at what you're after. The above is just a quick introduction.
Good luck,
Terry.

Edit mySQL record inside HTML Table via double click - Is it possible?

I have an HTML TABLE that displays my records from mySQL.
I need to edit various records (rows). Is it possible to click on a table row and edit the values in the row inside the HTML table?
I was wondering if there are any PHP scripts out there to guide me?
Yes, it's possible. While I am very convinced PHP is involved, Javascript is involved also.
I think you can have something like this:
1.Click once, javascript increases a counter variable
2. Click twice, javascript checks if var = 2 after increasing, resets counter, and changes innerHTML of the td to something like this:
form action ='yourphpscript.php' method = 'getorpost'>
.....What you want to change....
</form>
3. So then it sends your values to the PHP script, PHP script changes values in database, and you get redirected back to the main page. Or, better yet, use AJAX.
Hope this helped :)

MSAccess 2003 - VBA for passing a value from one form to another

So how can I pass a value from one form to another? For example: The user select's an organization from a list and this opens up a trip form that allows a user to enter various information regarding the trip. At one place I would like to add another little pop up form where they can enter contact information (just a name and phone for POC) of the organization they are visiting.
So when that initial form opened from the selection screen it has two IDs that are simply hidden in text boxes (one being the tripID, and the other being the OrgID), so how do I pass these to the second little pop up form so that the contact information has the relative IDs with it.
Thanks.
The best approach in these cases is not to attempted to pass a bunch of variables. It is too much code, and is inflexible. For example, if you need to pass two values, what happens over the years when that requirement grows to 5 values? Trying to maintain and pass a whole whack of values is too much coding work.
Keep in mind that each form in ms-access is really a class object that you can manipulate in code. So, use a object approach here and you find you not only write less code, but your code will be more clean, more modular, no need for global vars, and code you write can often be re-used between different forms.
Here is how:
In general when one form launches another form in the 2nd form in the forms on-open event (in fact, you can even use as late as the on-load event) you can pick up a reference to the PREVIOUS form object. In other words, you can use a object approach here.
At the forms module level, for form I declare a form object as:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
dim frmPrevious as form
Then, in the forms on-load event, we go:
Set frmPrevious = Screen.ActiveForm
Now, any code in our form can FREELY use code, events, even varibles declared as public from that previous form in code.
So, if you want to force a disk write of the previous form, and re-load of data.
frmPrevious.Refresh
If you want to set the ID value, then go:
frmPrevious!ID = some value
And, note that you can even declare form previous as a PUBLIC variable for that form, and thus if you two forms deep, you could go:
frmPrevious.frmPrevious!ID = some value
So, simply declare a forms object in EACH forms code module (or at lest the ones where you need to use values in code). The above means any code has a ready made reference to the previous form object. Functions declared as public in a form will become a METHOD of the form, and can be run like:
frmPrevious.MyCustomRefresh
or even things like some option to force the previous form to generate and setup a invoice number:
frmPrevous.SetInvoice
or
frmPrevious.SetProjectStatusOn
So not only can you shuffle values and data back and forth, but you can easily execute features and functions that you build in code for the prevous form.
In fact as a coding standard, MOST of my forms have a public function called MyRefresh.
Note that the beauty of this approach is that you can thus read + use + set values from that previous form. This allows your code to not only receive values, but also set values in that previous form. So this approach is bi-directional. You can shuffle data and values back and forth between the forms. The other advantage here is you NOT restricted to just variables, but can use fields, control values (events, properties) etc.
This approach means that much of the previous form is now at your fingertips.
So don’t try to pass a whole whack of variables. Pass a reference to the form and you have a nice ready made object at your fingertips and it makes this type of coding problem a breeze.
The usual way would be to reference the textboxes in the initial form from the popup form, like this:
Forms!frmInitialForm!tripID
Forms!frmInitialForm!OrgID
However, this tightly binds the popup form to the initial form, so that it cannot be used anywhere else in the application.
A better approach is to use OpenArgs:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPopup", OpenArgs:=Me.tripID & ", " & me.OrgID
This places your two values into a string, which is passed to the popup form. You can then parse the two values out of the OpenArgs using the Split function.
