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.

    NewUser dialog to auto-populate fields to redirected additional registration page

    NewUser dialog to auto-populate fields to redirected additional registration page

    Ok, I’ve seen many posts that are close to what I hope to accomplish but can’t quite get there. I really hope someone can direct me with a step-by-step process for any other “newbie” to see.

    I have a NewUser dialog. I followed all of the directions in the help with some minor variations.

    In the NewUser dialog:
    1) I want to create a session.variable with the username (userid)
    2) I want to create a session.variable with groups (groups)
    3) Any others I should also include?
    Then I wish to auto-populate the userid into my registration form that also has a field called userid set to character. When the user registers, user is redirected to the registration page.

    Controls
    Userid textbox, scope set to local
    Password textbox, scope set to local
    Confirm_password textbox, scope set to local
    SecQues dropdownbox, scope set to local
    SecAns textbox, scope set to local
    Groups radiobutton, scope set to local
    Ulink hidden, scope set to session
    Guid hidden, scope set to session

    Initialize
    a5ws_get_user_values(CurrentForm,request)

    Validate
    a5ws_save_user_values(CurrentForm,request)

    Aftervalidate
    a5ws_get_user_values(CurrentForm,request)

    If currentform.controls.groups = "5f8c48b1911041fc8bee4cb8fee6310d"
    'This is the employer field 5f8c48b1911041fc8bee4cb8fee6310d
    response.redirect("Employer_Register.a5w")
    request.variables.ulink=userid
    else if currentform.Controls.groups ="88c05dceff4949a18625cfdcfca0b135"
    ' This is the job seeker field 88c05dceff4949a18625cfdcfca0b135
    response.redirect("Jobs_List.a5w")
    request.variables.ulink=userid
    end if

    Activate
    queslist = a5ws_get_security_ques(request)
    pagelist = a5ws_get_page_list(request)

    'create grouplist filter
    grouplist = a5ws_get_groups(request,.t.)
    'remove 'Administrator' from groups list
    grouplist = filter_string(grouplist,"Administrators",crlf(),.T.)
    'grouplist = filter_string_multi(grouplist,"Job Seekers",crlf(),.T.)


    For Security Framework, I have "Session variable for verifier field" = __protected__Userid

    Can you tell me what I am missing and where to put the missing code? Once, the session variables are correct, I think I can figure out how to auto-populate the registration forms by again studying the other posts related to that issue.

    I hope to accomplish something similar to what Pat did here http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...light=new+user
    only with the registration page AFTER the NewUser dialog.

    Thank you to anyone who can give me suggestions and direction.

    Here is a copy of my NewUser dialog thinking this might help.

      Re: NewUser dialog to auto-populate fields to redirected additional registration page

      OK. I figured out a lot (for me anyway).
      I'm able to register and then I'm redirected to the correct page - Employer_Register
      BUT

      1) the "correct page" (grid) does not filter on the userid. 6 random records are displayed.
      2) the userid now fails to be populated in the security framework. (It did work before I placed the filter to filter the userid)

      the userid IS however populated in the redirected table called users.

      Here is my aftervalidate in my dialog
      a5ws_get_user_values(CurrentForm,request)
      dim tbl as P
      tbl=table.open("[pathalias.adb_path]\users")
      tbl.enter_begin(.T.)
      tbl.Userid = alltrim(CurrentForm.Controls.Userid.value)
      tbl.Password = Password
      tbl.User_type = groups
      tbl.enter_end(.T.)
      tbl.close()

      If currentform.controls.groups = "5f8c48b1911041fc8bee4cb8fee6310d"
      CurrentForm.RedirectTarget ="Employer_Register.a5w?Employer_Register2_filter=userid="+quote(CurrentForm.controls.userid)
      request.variables.ulink=userid
      else if currentform.Controls.groups ="88c05dceff4949a18625cfdcfca0b135"
      response.redirect("Jobs_List.a5w")
      request.variables.ulink=userid
      end if

      Please, what am I doing wrong?
