I'm not sure where Display Template option is supposed to show up on M2M relationships.
Here on movies collection setting up genres:
and the options
Docs seems confusing about the distinction between Visible Columns and Display Template:
Visible Columns sets the columns the interface shows (we're using name)
Display Template sets the columns the interface shows (we're using {{movie.name}})
Visible Columns does the above; in this example shows the title column in edit page for genres:
Alright, great!
But what about the template? maybe in the collection list?
no, just the count:
I've tried all these templates but nothing shows up anywhere:
{{title}}
{{movie.title}}
{{genre.title}}
{{genres.genre.title}}
What is the correct template here? Where is Display Template supposed to show up?
My collections setup:
movies
title text,
genres M2M (alias)
genres
title text
movies_genres
id pk,
genre numeric,
movie numeric
Thanks
This applies to O2M Interfaces:
Since there can be more than one related item linked, in the items list, the display template is rendered as a number of items until you interact with the item...
If you place your mouse over the Genres Fields, you should see the display template rendered.
A popover should show up and display the list of items as you defined.

Summary
Obtaining the record ID of the selected item in a drop-down list or radio-button UI appears to be a common question, but I have not found the answer for Google AppMaker despite months of searching.
The example use case: is I wish to edit a product that belongs to a family:
Product - (N:1) --> Family
Product - (M:N) --> FeatureValues
Example
The product belongs to the family Credit Card.
The credit-card family has the following features: |Contactles
|Near field
|Rates
|Chip & Pin|
In the edit form if I change the family the product belongs to then the list of features will change and new values for the features will need to be entered. (Dynamic form)
Hierarchy table
The family, features and permitted values are held in a single hierarchy table:
Family
|
Features
|
Values
newValue._key appears to only work for text-box UI items.
Dropdown list:
widget.datasource.item.Id or _key
provides the Product ID of the parent data source, ProductById (because I am editing a single product)
widget.datasource.selectKey(newValue._key); returns undefined
Sample code
Drop-down-list
OnValueChange event:
//update the features drop-down based on the taxonomy family selected
app.datasources.TaxonomyChildren.query.parameters.parent_fk = app.datasources.TaxonomyFamilies.item.Id;
app.datasources.TaxonomyChildren.load();
If I can pick up the record ID for the selected family in the dropdown list I can set a query.filter.parameter to show the features and values for the newly selected family.
Note: if it is a case you cannot create 'dynamic' forms in Google app-maker, then I'll stop as this has exhausted a lot of time.

So leave the options and value settings but in the onValueEdit run your query against TaxonomyChildren by passing in newValue.id to the query
Great Markus, that worked. On the drop-down ValueEdit event I call the function loadTaxonomyChildById(newValue.Id); passing it the Id of the selected TaxonomyFamily, changing the features displayed.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2148
When there are multiple copies with the same field name, the getFullyQualifiedName for each kid in the list of PDField objects returns the name of the parent, followed by .null. So if the parent field is called Button2 and it has 4 instances the result of printing out all the names will be:
Button2.null
Button2.null
Button2.null
Button2.null
According to the comments to the question, the OP refers to PDFBox 2.0.x versions, in particular 2.0.6.
getKids()
The method getKids() is undefined for the type PDField
In PDFBox 2.0.6 there are two immediate sub-classes of PDField. Different variants of the former (1.8.x) getKids() method are implemented in there:
PDNonTerminalField - the method retrieving the kids in this class is getChildren() and returns a List<PDField>, a list of form fields.
PDTerminalField - the method retrieving the kids in this class is getWidgets and returns a List<PDAnnotationWidget>, a list of widget annotations.
name of the parent, followed by .null
When there are multiple copies with the same field name, the getFullyQualifiedName for each kid in the list of PDField objects returns the name of the parent, followed by .null
This is not the case in PDFBox 2.0.x.
In the sample document attached to the PDFBox issue PDFBOX-2148 PDFBox now correctly finds only a single field which appropriately is named "Button2". This field is a PDTerminalField and has 4 widget annotations. The class of the latter, PDAnnotationWidget, has no getFullyQualifiedName method, so there are no ".null" names.
Thus, this problem is gone.
FQN of duplicate fields
(from the OP's comment responding to "What exactly is your question?")
how to get Fully Qualified Name of duplicate fields in pdfbox
There are no duplicate fields in (valid) PDFs, for a given name there is at most a single field which may have multiple widgets. Widgets do not have individual FQNs.
Thus, what you call "duplicate fields" in your example document actually is a single field with multiple widgets; the name of that field is "Button2" and can be retrieved using getFullyQualifiedName().
which page which form field
(from the OP's comments to this answer)
but how to get current page no in pdfbox.. for example there are 3 page and in page 2 there is a form field so how can i get which page which form field ?
All PDAnnotation classes, among them PDAnnotationWidget, have a getPage() method returning a PDPage instance.
BUT: As specified in ISO 32000-1, annotations (in particular form field widgets) are not required to have a link to the page on which they are drawn (except for screen annotations associated with rendition actions).
Thus, the above mentioned method getPage() may return null (probably more often than not).
So to determine the respective pages of your widgets, you have to approach the problem the other way around: Iterate over all pages and look for the annotation widgets in the respective annotation array.
For PDFBox 1.8.x you can find example code in this stackoverflow answer. With the information given in the previous parts of this answer it should be easy to port the code to PDFBox 2.0.x.
checkbox and radio button
(also from the OP's comments to this answer)
one more issue if i am using checkbox and radio button both then field.getFieldType() output is Btn for both. how to identify it?
You can identify them by inspecting the field flags which you retrieve via fields.getFieldFlags():
If the Pushbutton flag is set (PDButton.FLAG_PUSHBUTTON), the field is a regular push button.
Otherwise, if the Radio flag is set (FLAG_RADIO), the field is a radio button.
Otherwise, the field is a check box.
Alternatively you can check the class of the field object which for Btn may be PDPushButton, PDRadioButton, or PDCheckBox.
Beware: If a check box field has multiple widgets with differently named on states, this check box field and its widgets act like a radio button group! And not only in theory, I've seen PDFs with such check box fields in the wild.
To really be sure concerning the behavior of the fields, you therefore also should compare the names of the on states of all the widgets of a given check box.
I have a page say profile.htm with dojo declarative form with id="myForm". I have another page say dashboard.htm having border layout with 3 content pane. I want to show the profile.htm in all these three contentPanes. But when I try this then it gives registration error because there will be three forms with same Id.
Is there any solution for this so that I can have same page (with same id) in many contentPanes?
You simply can't, it's because of the HTML spec:
The id global attribute defines a unique identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/id
The same goes for dijit's, if there are many dijit's with the ID myDijit what would registry.byId('myDijit') return? Dijit has it's own method of assigning unique ID's just as long as you don't assign one.
I need to build a sample MVC UI app using Kendo UI.
I have 2 multiselect widgets for airline names and airport names respectively and below I have a grid with airline airport data.
Now when I select airlines or airports in the multiselect, upon clicking a Fetch button, the grid should refresh.
I created a ViewModel named AirlineAirportViewModel for containing List<Airlines>, List<Airports> and List<AirlineAirports>.
I instantiate the List<AirlineAirports> in the Get action method of the controller and fill the other two lists getting distinct airline and airport values from the List<AirlineAirports>.
While posting on filter button click, I am able to get action parameters as 2 List<string> types which contain only the selected multiselect items
Instead of that, I want this action parameter of type AirlineAirportViewModel so that in future, I will be able to add more filter widgets and the number of parameters stay one only.
Now, am I approaching this in the right way ? If I need the ViewModel as action parameter, where should I store the selected items from the multiselects ?
I have a table (and model) with the following properties in an asp.net MVC 4 application:
TV Table
height
width
depth
type
brand
cost
When the user answes a question about the space that they have for the TV I then do an ajax call to determine which types are possible to fit into the space they have specified. Which type of TV type they want is the following question, so some options may need to be disabled. The SQL for what types fit in the space is "select distinct type from TV where height < #height and width < #width and depth < #depth".
Should I:
1. create a new model that I call from the TV controller just to return the distinct types
2. add a method to the TV model that I call from the TV controller that just returns a list of string with the types that fit
Depends on what you want to display to the user based on her selection' e. g.
If you want to display TV name + its description then returning a list of TV model will make sense.
If you are just going to display a list of TV names in combo box, then returning a list of string will suffice.
Calling a new action make sense in both cases IMHO.
EDIT:
For 2 - I want to return a list of string - should I create a new data model for this, or add a method in the existing TV data model that returns a list of string?
To expand on above query, since its not clear (at least I do not visualize it) from your question i will assume few things.
Case 1: You are displaying a view say "TVSelection" to the user that does not contain list of TVModels. In this view you are expecting user to enter three values i.e. Width, Height, Depth. Now when user enter these values, she can submit the form or you can fetch the TV Brand name list on Lost Focus event as well. In any case, the question would be are you updating existing view by populating the combo box or you are displaying a new view. I am assuming you are updating existing "TVSelection" view by the means of making an AJAX call. In that case you can just call a method on your controller (which displayed the "TVSelection" view) that returns a list of TV Brand names.
Case 2: You are displaying "TVSelection" view that already has a list of TVModel objects and you update it dynamically on selection of required field (filtering). In this case you can add a method in the TVModel itself to filter names only that matches the user selection.
I found these links relevant 1 & 2.
Hope that make sense.
Please add more details to your question if this does not answer your question.
