Re: WebMarkupContainer as string for use in jqgrid cell
Sweet. I looked at the changes made and now I understand what you meant by virtual repeater. Anyway I've decided to use a custom implementation of wicket's DataTable for now and if a demand for more fancy grids will be made I'l probably come back to wijqgrid or try out inmethod grid.

Re: WebMarkupContainer as string for use in jqgrid cell
Hi Sam, I took a look at AjaxRequestTarget and its inner classes to check how wicket renders components on ajax requests. These components always have parent pages and the rendering process looks something like this: page.startComponentRender(comp) - comp.renderComponenet() - page.endComponentRender(comp) then the response from request cycle is set to be the ajax response so the html is directed to it. I just gave it a try during weekend and I have managed to render arbitrary Wicket components as cells of the grid (so, you could use a panel with link and so on as you needed). My current solution is still a bit hacky and I would like clean it up before making it public. I write arbitrary because there will be some limitations on the cell contents, e.g. they will not work if they contribute JavaScript code to page, but that could be considered as a minor limitation. I used the idea I mentioned before... Best, Ernesto - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
WebMarkupContainer as string for use in jqgrid cell
Hi all, I'm using a integration of jqgrid with wicket. jqgrid renders its cells from json data that is retrieved from the server. I've got this behavior and other operations of jqgrid(search/edit) working for some time now. I want to have one of the columns hold a link to some info page. For example: a user name column that links to the user's info page. (Note: I don't want the info page to be bookmarkable/mountable. So for this page I'm using a constructor that gets a user model and not page params.) I need the the json data that the server returns to hold a markup of a link that points to this info page. How can I turn a Wicket WebMarkupContainer (panel/link/etc...) to string representation so I can put it into the json data? I tried rendering the panel/link, but it won't work because their not added to a page... Any idea how to get this working? I searched the mail archives for a solution, but could only find how to turn wicket pages to an html string.
