Conditional LIRU for script?

[JonP]

I tried to do this in the render script of a form cell, but AIM just ignored the SECTION condition and ran the script regardless:

Code: Select all

<<IF LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy='No Visibility' THEN SHOW_SECTION>>
var divsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName("ChangeStrategies");

    for(var i = 0; i < divsToHide.length; i++)
    {
    divsToHide[i].style.visibility="hidden";
    }
<<END_SECTION>>

Is there a way to add a conditional based on an LIRU attribute inside Javascript?

1) check ServerOutput log and see if there's a msg about not being able to resolve LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy
2) is Strategy a shortcut?
3) the command is SHOW_SECTION START

Face-palm. And I've written slight variations on that line dozens of times for HTML cells. My lame excuse (because I feel a need to provide one) is that I threw my back out the other day and the pain distracted me.

I fixed it to "SHOW SECTION_START" and same problem. Role is a single peer reference attribute and Strategy is a plain text attribute. Tomcat gives me this:

Code: Select all

Unable to process tag expression IF LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy='No Visibility' THEN SHOW SECTION_START
Unable to resolve attributes when calculating expression END_SECTION

My guess is that the script feature doesn't support tag expressions.

IF LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy

1) Have you tried shortcutting Strategy into LoggedInPerson and referring to it in your IF?

2) Have you tried just using some Plain Text LoggedInPerson attribute to keep the test as simple as possible?

You say "render script of a form cell" but I can only find "Initialization" scripts on form cells? If you mean the render script on a "form" try this as your render script

Code: Select all

if "<<LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy>>"=="No Visibility" {
var divsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName("ChangeStrategies");
    for(var i = 0; i < divsToHide.length; i++)
    {
    divsToHide[i].style.visibility="hidden";
    }
}

Dave, you're awesome! I did need to make a slight adjustment to the if statement to include parentheses:

Code: Select all

if ("<<LoggedInPerson.Role.Strategy>>"=="No Visibility") {

and then it worked like a charm. I'm going to start using render script more for this sort of thing now that I know how.

And yes, it is a form cell render script. I may have a different version than you.

divsToHide.addClass("w3-blue")

Instead of hiding them, this would ADD a style to them. Could be handy. Nice tip Dave.

Good to know! Thanks, Jaymer.
