I am new to this. Yet I am trying to do something. I have created some input fields like text_area, text_input, and some more. I am not using form for some reason. So I created a button that clears the input values( i am using session state and re-initializing the values with empty). The main problem here is I am unable to store the input values after pressing the button. Tried doing so many ways.
for sample idea:
store_the_inputfields=[]
def some_fun():
global store_the_inputfields
def clear_fun():
st.session_state["inputfields_values"] =""
input fields getting the values from the user
store_the_inputfields.append(list(st.session_state.keys()))
button (which clears the values by calling on_click =clear_fun)
def view_values():
st.write(store_the_inputfields)
some_fun()
view_values()
please correct me if there is any mistake
Edit:
What I am asking is, for each session state values I want to append them to a list.
Example:
store=[]
form 1 values:
x= examp1
y=examp2
st.session_state["x"] = "examp1"
st.session_state["y"] = "examp2"
store.append(list(st.session_state.items()))
this is printing the result, the difficulty starts when we submit another form.
the store contains only that form values not the values of the previous form. I am asking that. how to store the previous form values and append the current form values with previous form values in the list
form 2 values:
x= examp3
y=examp4
st.session_state[“x”] = “examp3”
st.session_state[“y”] = “examp4”
store.append(list(st.session_state.items()))
now when we print it should give
[[["x","examp1"],["y","examp2"]],[["x","examp3"],["y","examp4"]]]
this is what I am asking for.

Am running a form using fluid with two fields, username and password. When first run, correct data is sent to the action. When different data is resubmitted, original data is sent to the controller action instead of the new values. How do I solve this problem?
EDIT: I've discovered that an array containing the user-submitted form fields and their values are obtained from the request, serialized as is and the string stored in a hidden input field called '__referrer[arguments]', which is then submitted with the form back to the user. When the user resubmits the form again with new values, the user doesn't realize that the old values are in the form, in the form of a serialized string, which is submitted together with the new values. Turns out, this is ok if no errors are reported by the validators. In that case the data is simply passed to the controller action and processing continues. But if errors are collected, processing is not sent to the controller action but is sent to the error action. The error action unserializes the old data and forwards that data (instead of the the new values) to the intended action controller. See \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController::forwardToReferringRequest().
EDIT: Steps to reproduce;
Create an action with one argument and create a form with one input element and a submit button. Create a validator for the element. Make it a string property. When all is said and done, start by sending a VALID value and let the form return. it will come back with no errors. but also if you look at it's hidden values, you find that the __referrer[arguments] has changes. That's because your previous values were serialized and are there. Now submit an INVALID value and check values entering your action. You'll be stunned they are the old ones.
This is weird. Currently if I disable the production of the __referrer[arguments] input field in the \TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\ViewHelpers\FormViewHelper::renderHiddenReferrerFields() method, everything works properly. How do I solve this? Please help.
Where things go wrong:
Here: \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController::forwardToReferringRequest() . In this method, arguments are sought from __referrer internal arguments instead of the submitted values. Normally, if errors are found, only two elements are found in the arguments form variable: controller for controller name and action for action name. This is because they were submitted originally with the form and they will recycle without changing as long as the validator finds errors. Nothing else will be added to it. This is good... until it validates. When it validates, results are sent directly to the action controller and not through the error controller. When the process goes back to the form, the object or arguments submitted will be added to the form and returned to the user. Remember it validated. When you then send a wrong value next, it goes to the error controller, but the old values (that validated) and were serialized in the __referrer[arguments] are unserialized and forwarded to your action. And that's how you end up with old values in your action. This is because it assumes that the variable carries only two values inside it; the controller and action names only. It's wrong.
Assumption:
Form post values processing seem to be built under the presumption that once a form validates, you won't need it again.
News.
The values you send are sought from extbase arguments and serialized in \TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\ViewHelpers\FormViewHelper::renderHiddenReferrerFields() method, added to the form just before presenting it to you. All TYPO3 has to do is skip your values and let the default values only be serialized. Just saw that the doc section of the function has this:
/**
* Renders hidden form fields for referrer information about
* the current controller and action.
*
* #return string Hidden fields with referrer information
* #todo filter out referrer information that is equal to the target (e.g. same packageKey)
*/
The #todo part is the news. Hope it's done in the next-patch since there are many scenarios where you want to resume the form such as in data entry.
Solution
Easiest solution: Initialize the empty argument in your action and hand the argument to the form. In my case, I use a DTO.
Example
public function accountLoginAction(DTO\Account\LoginDTO $accountLogin=null):ResponseInterface
{
if($accountLogin){
$this->repository->logon();
...
} else{
$accountLogin=DTO\Account\LoginDTO::getNewInstance();
}
$this->view->assign('object', $accountLogin);
return $this->response();
}
Hope it helps someone.
I need to make some changes to an SAPScript. I have the program and form name
Program: RBOSORDER01
Form: RBOSORDER02
I am looking to change some of the data shown in the form. I have debugged the program and I get see the call to write to the form, for example:
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
ELEMENT = 'ITEM_TEXT'
EXCEPTIONS
ELEMENT = 1
WINDOW = 2.
But how is the data passed between the program and the form. I cannot link between each. I was expecting to see a structure or a data element passed with 'ITEM_TEXT' and then this data is printed at this element "ITEM_TEXT" in the form but the link is not clear to me.
I have looked at the form also in SE71 and cannot see where you define this. Where is the link here, what am I missing?
This is in the form, so SE71 is what you need. You have to find the window first, where this element (ITEM_TEXT) is displayed, than look for the element and see what is displayed inside. The SAPSript form uses the global variables (structures, internal tables) of the print program directly by default (there are some other options as well, INCLUDE texts for example). So for example if a global variable gv_text is declared in the print program, and it is displayed in the SAPScript, than it will look like &GV_TEXT& in the form.
You can also debug the SAPScript if you switch on debugging in SE71 (can be painful, if the form is big).
Function 'WRITE_FORM' just calls the EntryPoint of the Form (SE71 / RBOSORDER02) in this case with ELEMENT='ITEM_TEXT'.
So you will end up in MAIN-Window at:
/E ITEM_TEXT
/: INCLUDE &VBDPA-TDNAME& OBJECT VBBP ID 0001 PARAGRAPH IT
In this case you have to debug what "VBDPA-TDNAME" is at this time and then you will find its value with transaction "SO10" (Standard-Text)
The INCLUDE can be a complex text and can have its own format strings.
As Jozsef said before, VBDPA-TDNAME is defined global in the print programm. (SE38n / RBOSORDER01)
I have a form called 'detail' which shows a detailed view of a selected record. The record is selected from a different form called 'search'. Because I want to be able to open multiple instances of 'detail', each showing details of a different record, I used the following code:
Public detailCollection As New Collection
Function openDetail(patID As Integer, pName As String)
'Purpose: Open an independent instance of form
Dim frm As Form
Debug.Print "ID: " & patID
'Open a new instance, show it, and set a caption.
Set frm = New Form_detail
frm.Visible = True
frm.Caption = pName
detailCollection.Add Item:=frm, Key:=CStr(frm.Hwnd)
Set frm = Nothing
End Function
PatID is the Primary Key of the record I wish to show in this new instance of 'detail.' The debug print line prints out the correct PatID, so i have it available. How do I pass it to this new instance of the form?
I tried to set the OpenArgs of the new form, but I get an error stating that OpenArgs is read only. After researching, OpenArgs can only be set by DoCmd (which won't work, because then I don't get independent instances of the form). I can find no documentation on the allowable parameters when creating a Form object. Apparently, Microsoft doesn't consider a Constructor to be a Method, at least according to the docs. How should I handle this? (plz don't tell me to set it to an invisible text box or something) Thanks guys, you guys are the best on the net at answering these questions for me. I love you all!
Source Code for the multi-instance form taken from: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-35.html
Inside your Form_detail, create a custom property.
Private mItemId As Long
Property Let ItemID(value as Long)
mItemId = value
' some code to re query Me
End Property
Property Get ItemId() As Long
ItemId = mItemId
End Property
Then, in the code that creates the form, you can do this.
Set frm = New Form_detail
frm.ItemId = patId
frm.Visible = True
frm.Caption = pName
This will allow you to pass an ID to the new form instance, and ensure it gets requeried before making it visible. No need to load all of the results every time if you're always opening the form by Newing it. You let the property load the data instead of the traditional Form_Load event.
This works because Access Form modules are nothing more than glorified classes. Hope this helps.
You could try applying a filter:
frm.Filter = "[ID] = " & patID
frm.FilterOn = True
The Record Source of the Detail form will need to be set to the table to which the ID belongs.
UPDATE
As you requested, here is the code to set the RecordSource:
frm.RecordSource = "select * from TableName where [ID] = " & patID
This is probably cleaner than using a filter given that a user can remove the filter (depending on the type of form).
I want to build kind of an automatic system to update some race results for a championship. I have an automated spreadsheet were all the results are shown but it takes me a lot to update all of them so I was wondering if it would be possible to make a form in order to update them more easily.
In the form I will enter the driver name and the number o points he won on a race. The championship has 4 races each month so yea, my question is if you guys know a way to update an existing data (stored in a spreadsheet) using a form. Lets say that in the first race, the driver 'X' won 10 points. I will insert this data in a form and then call it from the spreadsheet to show it up, that's right. The problem comes when I want to update the second race results and so on. If the driver 'X' gets on the second race 12 points, is there a way to update the previous 10 points of that driver and put 22 points instead? Or can I add the second race result to the first one automatically? I mean, if I insert on the form the second race results can it look for the driver 'X' entry and add this points to the ones that it previously had. Dunno if it's possible or not.
Maybe I can do it in another way. Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Maybe I missed something in your question but I don't really understand Harold's answer...
Here is a code that does strictly what you asked for, it counts the total cumulative value of 4 numbers entered in a form and shows it on a Spreadsheet.
I called the 4 questions "race number 1", "race number 2" ... and the result comes on row 2 so you can setup headers.
I striped out any non numeric character so you can type responses more freely, only numbers will be retained.
form here and SS here (raw results in sheet1 and count in Sheet2)
script goes in spreadsheet and is triggered by an onFormSubmit trigger.
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var responses = []
responses[0] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 1'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[1] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 2'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[2] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 3'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[3] = Number(e.namedValues['race number 4'].toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
var totals = sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).getValues();
for(var n in responses){
totals[0][n]+=responses[n];
}
sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).setValues(totals);
}
edit : I changed the code to allow you to change easily the number of responses... range will update automatically.
EDIT 2 : a version that accepts empty responses using an "if" condition on result:
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Sheet2');
var responses = []
responses[0] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 1']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 1']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[1] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 2']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 2']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[2] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 3']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 3']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
responses[3] = Number((e.namedValues['race number 4']==null ? 0 :e.namedValues['race number 4']).toString().replace(/\D/g,''));
var totals = sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).getValues();
for(var n in responses){
totals[0][n]+=responses[n];
}
sh.getRange(2,1,1,responses.length).setValues(totals);
}
I believe you can found everything you want here.
It's a form url, when you answer this form you'll have the url of the spreadsheet where the data are stored. One of the information stored is the url to modify your response, if you follow the link it will open the form again and update the spreadsheet in consequence. the code to do this trick is in the second sheet of the spreadsheet.
It's a google apps script code that need to be associated within the form and triggered with an onFormSubmit trigger.
It may be too late now. I believe we need a few things (I have not tried it)
A unique key to map each submitted response, such as User's ID or email.
Two Google Forms:
a. To request the unique key
b. To retrieve relevant data with that unique key
Create a pre-filled URL (See http://www.cagrimmett.com/til/2016/07/07/autofill-google-forms.html)
Open the URL from your form (See Google Apps Script to open a URL)
After a few hours searching, I couldn't find any solution to this little problem I'm having.
I have a query that retrieves one of its criteria from a form. I have referenced correctly the value on the form from the query, and it works, but what I wanted to do is a bit more complicated: when the form is closed, I want to launch the query with a "default value".
I tried to do it in 2 different ways:
a) Defining an "IIf" at the query criteria: I would need a function that checks if the form from which I retrieve the values is open.
b) Defining public variables with a default value, which would be changed from the form: I don't know where/when to initialize the value of the variable.
Does anyone have a better idea on how to do this?
TL;DR: Query gets criteria from form when it's open. If form is closed, query uses default value. HELP!
You can create a VBA function in a module to do this :
Function MyCriterion() As Long
MyCriterion = 1234 ' default value
If CurrentProject.AllForms("MyForm").IsLoaded Then
MyCriterion = Forms("MyForm").MyControl.Value
End If
End Function
