Re: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

[David E Jones]

If I understand right you are trying to add a parameter to an  
outgoing link, or the HTML in the file being sent to the client. This  
has absolutely nothing to do with incoming parameters or attributes,  
which is what the parameters Map represents.

It would certainly be possible to implement something like this, but  
would you really want to add a parameter to ALL links on a page?

David,
           Adding the parameter onto the link is definitely the best
solution. But I was wondering for my knowledge, if we could add that
parameter from the screen actions. That way I wouldnt have to go  
search
every ftl where this link is called.

	So is it possible to add more parameters to the requestparameters  
Map.

        Imagine that this is the link that is present in a ton of ftl pages -

	http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/ 
~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/

	I could definitely go in every ftl file and add a parameter and  
link would
be -

	http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/ 
~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/~product_id=DEMO_PRODUCT_04

	You will notice that the new parameter 'product_id' has the same  
value as
'add_product_id'. The question is, is this the best way or can I do
something from Screen actions to add the parameter which would save  
me tons
of time. All I want to do is add 'product_id' to the input  
parameters Map
from the actions part.


Thanks a lot for your response,

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but my guess is you are
trying to output parameters into the input parameters Map. To get a
parameter onto a link or other URL, it needs to be added wherever
that URL is defined, like in the form def or ftl file, or whatever.

Hello Everyone,
          Heres what I am trying to do. I pass a parameter from a
URL which
calls a Screen. Now I want to add one more parameter with a
different name
to the request in the actions section of the screen.

        Heres the address -

        http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/
~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/

        I want to add product_id in the request but I cant add it in the
above URL
else it would have looked like
http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/
~add_product_id=DEMO_
PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/~product_id=DEMO_PRODUCT_04

        I tried this but it didnt work -
        <section>
            <actions>
                <set field="parameters.product_id"
from-field="parameters.add_product_id"/>
                ....
        </actions>
         <section>

        Is it possible to add product_id programmatically in the
parameters map?

        Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
