Re: Card id and button problem

[Sarah Reichelt]

When you create the new button, store it's ID.
Then when you create the new card, get it's ID or set it's name.
Then set a custom property of the new button to that card ID or name.
In the button script, have a line that retrieves that custom property 
and uses it as the destination.

something like this (adding lines to your script):
  open stack "buttons"   --  this is a substack that contains the 
buttons I use
  copy btn id xxxx to stack "MainStack"  -- this is now in front of 
(and thus hides) the "new card" button
put the ID of the last button into newButtonID
  close stack "buttons"
  open stack "Y"  -- this is the drawer stack
  create card
put it into newCardID
set the cDestinationCard of btn ID newButtonID of stack "MainStack" to 
newCardID

Then in the script of the "Open" button:
put the cDestinationCard of me into tCardID
  drawer stack "Y" at bottom aligned to center
go to card ID tCardID of stack "Y"
This is all untested, but the idea should be enough to get you started.
Cheers,
Sarah

Hi All!
I've been searching searching the archives for hours, but since I 
don't really know what I'm doing, I guess I don't know what to search 
for!  Here's the problem/question:

I have a stack with a substack drawer.  When a new card is created in 
the main stack, there is a button on it that creates a new card in the 
substack, unlocks its text fields and opens it in the drawer.  The 
button in the main stack that created the new card in the substack is 
then hidden behind another new button that should later open the 
drawer to that same card.  Once the fields on the drawer card are 
filled in, there is a button on it that locks the fields and saves the 
drawer stack.  The problem is that I need that save button also to put 
the short card id of the drawer card into the script of the main stack 
button that will re-open it.   This is what I can't figure out.  It 
looks like this:

the button that creates the new card in the drawer stack looks like 
this

  open stack "buttons"   --  this is a substack that contains the 
buttons I use
  copy btn id xxxx to stack "MainStack"  -- this is now in front of 
(and thus hides) the "new card" button
  close stack "buttons"
  open stack "Y"  -- this is the drawer stack
  create card
  repeat with i = 1 to 33
    set the lockText of field ("Field" & i) to false
  end repeat
  close stack "Y"
  drawer stack "Y" at bottom aligned to center -- this reopens the "Y" 
stack in the drawer

The new drawer card is now open and the fields can be filled in.  The 
save button on this card is:

  repeat with i = 1 to 33
    set the lockText of field ("Field" & i) to true
  end repeat
  save stack "Y"
  close stack "Y"
So far it all works.  The button on the main stack card that should 
lead back to this drawer card is:

  drawer stack "Y" at bottom aligned to center
  go card id zzzz of stack "Y"
Is it possible to take the short id of the new drawer card and put it 
in place of the zzzz in the button script on that specific card in the 
main stack? This is what I don't know how to do.

Suggestions?
Thanks,
Lars
