I have had a problem with variations on this since my early days with WO
and I've never solved it to my satisfaction. Time to ask for help.
* Page has a display group (ERXBatchingDisplayGroup) using EC1 in the
fetch spec. For the sake of example the EOs in the list are colors - 25
total with 10 on each page. Colors are sorted by name.
* The second page contains GREEN through PINK. User clicks on ADD COLOR.
* Lightbox (AjaxModalDialog) appears and allows user to edit the new
color in a peer or nested editing context - EC2. My usual approach is
to use a nested ec.
* User adds ORANGE and saves changes. Lightbox disappears. Container
surrounding the display group is updated.
What is the best way to update the display group at this time? I've
tried calling fetch(), redisplay(), updateDisplayedObjects(),
combinations of the above, etc. with various levels of success but I
always run into trouble with something. Either the list doesn't refresh
correctly re: sort order or the batch navigation bar doesn't know when
the batch count increases. The only sure fire way I've found is
nullifying the display group and starting over. This seems very
inefficient and I'm sure I'm missing something.
I don't want to use the same editing context to edit as I need to
discard the insert on cancel/overlay dismissal of the AMD. I realize
it is possible to use a single ec and revert but it grates me to jump
through those hoops when a second ec is so easy. The only problem I
have with the latter is getting my display group and associated batch
navigation bar updated consistently and correctly.
Thanks in advance,
Jon
