Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Component Positioning

    Attached is a file with an outline of how I want my online ordering to work and screen positioning for the web components. I have been toying with the layout and cannot get what I want. I can set the web components on the screen as I want them as individual components. However, once I link them together V6 displays them in its layout format. Is it possible to do this?

    Thanks

    Create a table on the page with the layout you want and then put each component in the appropriate cell.

      RE: Component Positioning

      Jerry, I did that when the components were NOT LINKED. But I seem to loose the capability of component positioning once they are linked. Am I missing something here?

        RE: Component Positioning

        Philip,

        If you look at the source code tab, you will see that each output line is something like.

        <%a5 ?x_proglist.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %>

        You can move each of those lines anywhere you want on the page, regardless of how they are created, since they are just a html text output. The program places them together in a table and you can also place that table within another table. As long as you don't disturb the code that loads and runs the component, the output lines can be moved around to almost anywhere. For example, you can place the detail beside the grid if desired.

        Because the WYSIWYG view is sometimes confusing when it comes to editing some structures, I usually work with the source tab, where the structural elements are easier to see.

            RE: Component Positioning

            Philip,

            The attached screen shot shows linked components in a layout using the table as Jerry suggested.

            To so this, I first created the linked components normally, then in WYSIWYG mode inserted a table with 1 row and 2 columns. Then, switched to source mode and used cut and paste to put each of the two tables into their respective sell in the new table.

            It only takes a few minutes.

            Pat.

                  Help w/ cut/paste, please

                  Hey Pat,
                  I followed your cut/paste instructions, published to local webroot and opened, and see the code, itself on the page. I must have cut/pasted the wrong code. Can you help, please?

                  I want to place a search grid on the left, and the detail view on the right of the web page. Here is the code that I cut from the Source and pasted into the left cell in a 2 column table in the WYSIWYG:

                  <%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Employee_Grid.Output.Body.Search_HTML %>

                  Here is the code that I cut from the Source and pasted into the right cell in the same table:

                  <%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Employee_Grid.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %>

                  Thank you, Pat!

                    If you cut from source and paste into WYSIWYG, you are no longer working with source code so the <%a5 ... > tags are not interpreted by the server. If you want to past in WYSIWYG mode, you place your insertion point where you want the code, insert a code block, and then paste your code in the pop-up code editor.

                      Code for gridlinker in table

                      Wanda,

                      Here is the code for the table w/ gridlinker in it. I've color coded the tables to make it easier to read. Table means create a table, tr is table row and td is table column.

                      <p><table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=center width=800 border=0>
                      <tr><td vAlign=top align=left>
                      <table>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_Echo %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.UpdateErrors %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Search_HTML %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_HTML %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %></td></tr>
                      </table></td>
                      <td vAlign=top align=left>
                      <table>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_Echo %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.UpdateErrors %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Search_HTML %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_HTML %></td></tr>
                      <tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %></td></tr>
                      </table>
                      </td></tr>
                      </table></p>

                        Pat,

                        If you wrap your html with [html ] and [/html], vBulletin do some color coding for you. I realize that in this example you were looking to point out specific features, but I thought I'd just let everyone know.

                        You can also highlight the text in the editor and press the button in the toolbar that looks like "<>" and it will put the appropriate tags in for you.

                        Aaron

                        HTML Code:
                        <p><table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=center width=800 border=0>
<tr><td vAlign=top align=left>
<table>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_Echo %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.UpdateErrors %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Search_HTML %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_HTML %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.Co_Listed.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %></td></tr>
</table></td>
<td vAlign=top align=left>
<table>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_Echo %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.UpdateErrors %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Search_HTML %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.Grid_HTML %></td></tr>
<tr><td><%a5 ?x_GridLinker.CoList_Where_Listed.Output.Body.DetailView_HTML %></td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>

                          Aaron, Lenny, Pat,

                          Thank you for hanging in there with me. Here is what I've culled out according to your suggestion and my limited understanding. Am I close? (I'm still seeing the actual code when I publish.)

                          HTML Code:
                          <p><table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="45%" border=0><tr>
<td vAligh=top align= left><table><tr><td>
<%a5?x_GridLinker.Employee_Grid.Output.Body.Search_HTML%>
</td></tr></table></td></p>< /p>
                          What I'm wanting to do is place the search portion of the grid on the left of a page, and it's corresponding detail view on the right directly beside the search part.

                          Thank you!
                          Wanda

                            You need a space after <%a5 and your code and another one before %>, ala:

                            HTML Code:

                              Okay, thanks, but still no cigar. The "table" that I'm placing the code in looks the same as a Word table, not the same as a grid component table. I just clicked insert table. Is that correct? What else could it be? (And even after this is ironed out, I then need to program the detail view to the right of the search portion.)

                              Many thanks,
                              Wanda
