I think I'm having one of those "duh" moments...but what can I do...
I'm trying to change all my content management functions to use modal
windows.
I'm at the "update record" part now.
What I can't seem to figure out is how to get the recordID (managerID, in
this case) into my modal window for use.
I start with a .cfm page, which includes a call to the component method to
retrieve all manager records:
<cfinvoke component =
"hdspa-sm.components.siteManagerProcessor"
method = "mGetAllSiteManagers"
returnVariable = "qGetAllSiteManagers"
dsn = "#application.dsn#"
orderBy = "lastName">
That info is output in a table, which includes this piece of code:
<cfoutput>
<a id="#managerID#" class" link editManager">edit</a>
</cfoutput>
Now, using jQuery, I can get the managerID from the id of the link above
this way:
var managerID = $(this).attr('id')
Now, I've defined the managerID.
But I'm still on the main record update page. I now want to open a modal
window
and use that managerID to run an ajax function to retrieve the entire
manager record
and populate an update form in the modal window.
But I just can't see how to transfer the managerID from the main page to the
modal window.
Is there some way to include that variable in the code I use to open the
modal window (Thickbox)?
tb_show("EditSitemanager",
"../modals/siteManagerEditForm.cfm?height=425&width=500&modal=true",
false);
I don't see how...
Do I need to assign the managerID to a session variable? (I really dislike
having to use
session variables like that...global variables are too hard to track between
cf and js, etc.)
I know that CF 8 does this with CFWindow or whatever is uses, but how does
it transfer
variables between the calling page and modal windows?
Suggestions for one who is "lost in the sauce..." ???
Thanks,
Rick
