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.

    Hide/show linked grid based on security group. How To?

    I have been searching for an option to show some of the linked grids only for certain usersgroups. Could't find such an option (or did i overlooked it?)
    Can it be done programmatically in a5web? Did somebody already figure it out and is willing to share the code?

    Thanks in advance

    Ger,
    I found this on the board from a other member I believe Drake?
    We say thanks .
    This will work as a workaround with the A5 security.
    Hope in time i's easier and standard in A5.

    The Code :

    DIM nextRow as N = 0
    DIM delArry[1] as N
    DIM arrCountZ as N = 0
    DIM q as N = 0
    DIM mygroup as C = crlf_to_comma(a5ws_get_user_assignments(session.__protected__ulink,request))
    delArry[1] = 0

    'This is a custom function I use for security
    'any logic can be placed here

    if is_one_of("hrm_verlof",mygroup) = .T. then
    'if is_one_of("test",mygroups) = .T. then
    then
    'Do Nothing
    else
    delArry[] = tmpl.RowExpandGrids.find("Dossier","TabLabel")
    end if

    if delArry[1] > 0 then
    for q = 1 to delArry.size() step 1
    arrCountZ = (tmpl.RowExpandGrids.size() - 1)
    if arrCountZ <> q
    for x = q to arrCountZ step 1
    nextRow = x + 1
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].gridName = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].gridName
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].linkFields = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].linkFields
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].hideLinkFields = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].hideLinkFields
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].inheritParentStyle = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].inheritParentStyle
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].OverrideSettings = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].OverrideSettings
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids[x].TabLabel = tmpl.RowExpandGrids[nextRow].TabLabel
    next
    end if

    if arrCountZ >= 0 then
    tmpl.RowExpandGrids.resize(arrCountZ)
    end if
    next
    end if

    Put it in the Grid Advanced properties.
    Also read that Steve had the same question, advice from Selwyn to stuff it in the watch event client side.

    Groet,

      Hello Eric,

      Thanks to the creator (Drake?) and to you for quick response.
      I'm curious what will happen sooner: me understanding the code or A5 guys creating a standard option for it....:-)

      I know another option: creation different versions of pages/grids for different groups (in my case there won't be a lot of combinations needed). But i really hate such redundancy in programming...

        Ger,

        For know it's a solution/work around, When THE standard is ready simple wait, it takes two to make a tango. Selwyn has open ear for good questions, Great Guy !!

        A5 R&D team there hard working guys, never seen that on a product before.

        Last month there was hard labor in R&D some questions I had about the date picker where solved in a glance, that is specialy for us dutchies important for our customers but service to the hole A5 community.

        creation different versions of pages/grids for different groups --> advice use the workaround
