Listview - post request variable content

[roberti]

Hi,

following John Mertic's HowTo "Adding your own ListView action items", I am trying to write a custom Controller
that does some further processing on the data which is submitted by listviews Massupdate POST.

As outlined in the example code, I am retrieving selected records by the uids submitted in the uid request variable. The problem occurs when I try to submit "all" records from the form. Only the uids of the records visible in the listview are submitted in the request variable. This behaviour is common for all modules. Obviously I missed something as this functionality seems to be there (see: listview export)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Robert

You will see a variable in the request that is base64 encoded. Decode it and you will find all the information you need.

Thanks for the hint. I decoded $_REQUEST['current_query_by_page'], put the format is a bit irritating. Is there any description available?

Cheers, Robert

don't think so

Well, I got it ... "unserialize()" helps. Sorry for bothering ...

Nevertheless, this didn't fix my problem. I am now using this workaround to retrieve the uids, selected by the listview query form (n this case "Notes"):

$where = $_SESSION['export_where']; // I feel this should be provided by $_REQUEST..

if ($_REQUEST['select_entire_list'] == 1 ) {

$sql = "select id from notes ".$where;
$notes = SugarModule::get($_REQUEST['module'])->loadBean();
$result = $notes->db->query($sql, true);

while($note = $notes->db->fetchByAssoc($result)) {
$recordIds[] = $note[id];
}
} else {
$recordIds = explode(',',$_REQUEST['uid']);
}

Quick and dirty but works. Any suggestions welcome.


Cheers, Robert
