JQGrid: Binding JSON data to MultiSelect Checkbox - wcf

I have JQGrid loading data from WCF OperationContract with paging and sorting working fine. I am using "multiselect: true" so that I get the checkbox column and ability to select multiple rows. I've implemented gridComplete:, onSelectAll: and onSelectRow: to capture when checkboxes are checked/unchecked and to maintain checked state upon pagination. I am able to save the checkbox state to the DB via another WCF method call.
What I cannot figure out how to do is load the saved checkbox state for each row along with the other fields specified in colModel:.
Any ideas? I realize I can make a separate WCF service call to get the values, loop through them and set state manually, but that seems like a huge waste and overly clunky.
Thanks in advance.

The simplest way, which I imagine me immediately after reading of your question, is to have additional hidden column (hidden: true property in the colModel for the column) and the checkboxes inside. You can load the selection state from the database an fill the hidden checkboxes. Inside of loadComplete or gridComplete you can use the information to select the rows.
If you would use loadComplete instead of gridComplete you can even eliminate the need to hold hidden row. The callback method loadComplete has data parameter which are initialized with the data originated from the ajax call. So if your server response contain more information as jqGrid need the data will be ignored by jqGrid, but you can see the data in the loadComplete and use the information to set row selection.

How to update fields before the view is displayed in Odoo

I could not figure how I'm supposed to do the following scenario;
I've two fields in my inherited res.partner view "ExternalID" and "ExternalCode" all the fields are going to be editable until those two are filled. And after these two are filled everything is going to be read-only that's the easy part we can handle this by attrs. The problem is when these two fields are filled (they're being filled from an external app by odoo web API.) I need call an external web API before the form is loaded i^ve to update the read-only fields. I've tried placing a computed field and make it invisible so that it gets fired up when the view is being loaded and I thought I should update the other fields but it seems when I write a compute function it can only update the field that it is called from.
For Example;
external_api_call_field = fields.Char(compute='_get_values_from_api')
#api.multi
def _get_values_from_api(self):
for record in self:
#call api and do stuff
#set the values that we got from the external application
record.company_detailed_address="Sample address line"
the method gets triggered and seems to run all the way but when the form is loaded the address field is not filled.
I tried to call
self.write({'company_detailed_address' : 'Sample address line'})
which seems to work but the new value is not set directly you've to refresh the view
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Regards.

Xpages Scoped variable lost opening next page

I'm transitioning a corporate web page into a new xpage platform. It consists of a number of department-specific databases each with their separate ACL's with the old forms and docs, and one new xpage db front end presenting data from across the other db's read only. The content is regulations and resources for the rest of the organization to relate to.
The design consists of just a few custom controls which collects data sources dynamically via properties on the various department specific xpages. So like 30 xpages collecting data from separate db's utilizing the same handful of cc's
My scoped variable issue is related to my cc_dataViewLocal . This dataView presents the documents from the corresponding views in the source db's. To let the user know their present location in the application I pull in the name of the current view and display the name above the Data View as a headline on the DataView xpage:
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1" styleClass="ksHeading2">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:getComponent("dataView1").getData ().getView()
}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:text>
All documents from all databases are presented using the same documentDisplay xpage with a dynamic document data source. Thus this xpage does not have any properties but is referenced trough the data view xpage:
<xe:dataView id="dataView1" collapsibleCategory="false"
rows="50" style="font-size:8pt" rowStyle="font-size:8pt"
collapsibleDetail="true" pageName="/**ks_documentDisplay.xsp**"
var="rowHandle">
--
When I open a document from the data view in documentDisplay.xsp I want the same headline/name of the original view displayed there as well. To make that happen I try to catch the view name in a scoped variable in an afterPageLoad event in the data view xpage, to redisplay it on the documentDisplay xpage.
<xp:this.afterPageLoad>
<xp:setValue binding="#{sessionScope.ksView}">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:getComponent
("computedField1").value}]] ></xp:this.value>
</xp:setValue>
</xp:this.afterPageLoad>
After all the view name is not part of the document data source, and I have no other handle to the parent view at this point as I can see.
--
When I display the scoped variable on the dataView xpage in a computed field it works fine:
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField2"
styleClass="ksHeading1" value="#{sessionScope.ksView}">
However, when I try to display the same session variable in the documentDispay xpage using the same computed field coding it turns up empty. Like the sessionVariable is lost to the next xpage?
I started out with a viewScope, and tried both request and session with same results. What am I missing??
Any input greatly appreciated! Including workarounds but would like to get a grip on the scoped variables...:-)
Regards to all who read this somewhat long post and thanks in advance!

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. The problem clearly was I wiped the sessionScope in some way or other, exactly how I still don't know.
But as often is the case the solution was to do something else to get the same thing done...
What I found not to work:
-Moving the event to onClientLoad didn't work it threw an exception "cannot handle". In addition my original approach afterPageLoad did't really work either as it didn't update properly as other dataViews were chosen via Navigator on the page. Also setting the variable via the "Set" option on the simpleAction list turned out to be a problem. I got several "Not allowed to set the value of a read only computed expression"
What I did that worked:
-I set the value not by "Set"Simple action but by "Excecute script" and code
sessionScope.ksView=context.getSubmittedValue(). This in the onClick event in Navigator that selects which Dataview to display On the DataView xpage Then the SessionScope remains alive all the way into the documentDisplay xpage and until a different Dataview is selected back in the Nav back on the DataView xpage.
Now using the same sessionScope as the viewName property on the xpage I also set the sessionScope initially on afterPageLoad to have a default value when page is first opened...
So thanks again, a lot of headbanging into the wall here but that's what you learn from I guess :-))

Saving updated values of a dojo data grid

Can anyone tell me how to connect my dojo datagrid to "onApplyCellEdit" event and how to update the dojo store with the updated values in the grid. thanks.
if youre using a store which implements dojo.data.api.Write (like ItemFileWriteStore or such), then your store will handle this by default, once it is connected to a datagrid.
When youre done editing (or do it on cell.onblur or like) check if any changes was made to store by calling store.isDirty(). If it returns true, either a new, modified or deleted item is not in sync with server.
To sync, look into the api.Write and see that for every store there is a call .save() - which ofc you must implement (unless you leverage REST with PUT/DELETE/POST pattern)

Silverlight Datagrid binding with Object with a List Property

I'm having trouble with some Silverlight functionality. My goal is to get some data from the database and display it in my grid. Sounds simple, however, there are 7 columns that are always going to be there.
The rest of the columns depends on the account. There could be 2 (called Actions) associated with a certain account, compared to another account that could have 5, and the action names can be completely different.
I have successfully been able to return a list of all the possible actions for the given account, and then adding the columns to the grid in the code bihind(VB), and I can bind my data to the grid for all the columns that
are already known. The way I store the item's actions, is a Property of type List. My problem is finding a way to iterate through the actions list of the Item object in order to bind those actions to the grid.
Any suggestions?
You can create extension that will create additional columns and bindings that will bind each value from list to column. Also you should create an additional Dependency Property which you'll bind
to your List.

How to query the data from content type without using content query webpart in SharePoint2010.How can i?

I want to query the data from content type without using content query webpart. How could I do this?
My scenario is, I have a page layout, from the page layout I have created a page that contains some site columns values. After clicking on the save button I need to update the field in the page library column. How can I query the data in item updating event of the Site Pages Library.
Any help would be appreciated.
The ItemUpdating event method is passed an SPItemEventProperties parameter named property. This object contains information about the item responsible for firing the event handler. You can access this by calling properties.ListItem[Fieldname] or properties.AfterProperties[fieldname].
Something to note. The value of the SPItemEventProperties.BeforeProperties and SPItemEventProperties.AfterProperties as well as the properties of the SPItemEventProperties.ListItem, varies depending on the Event you are overriding and the type of SP List (List or Document Library). This chart shows these relationships.
