I have a field which value is an array of strings.
Example: Mom, dad, son, etc.
It is possible to repeat a link with those values?
Example:
Mom
dad
son
And when I click on the link to have a href=www."fieldvalue".com.
EDIT: it is not vector, it is Array.
Create your repeat control. For the value add in your field name. Something like :
document1.getItemValue("myMultiValueField")
I THINK that should repeat your field assuming it is a real multi-value. The comma deliminated string would require more work. So I'm not talking about that...
Make sure the collection name / var name of the repeat is something like "rowData"
rowData should then be a String.
Drop a link control inside the repeat.
Compute the label to be simple "rowData". (no quotes in the code)
Compute the URL - which I THINK is "value" in all properties of the link
That's just javaScript so you should be able to do something like:
return "http://" + rowData + ".com"
That's rough - you'll have to play with it but if I follow you correctly should work.
For a comma deliminated String... in the repeat control you'd need to use SSJS or #functions to break that into an array so the repeat can work on it.
In your repeat you'll need to map the value attribute to the Vector and set a var property, which is how you will reference each element. Note: a comma-separated string is a single value, and a repeat requires multiple values. So you'll need to convert it to a Vector or some other multi-value object.
Within the repeat you can use any other control and compute the value as you would elsewhere. To access each element in your repeat control's source (i.e. each String in your Vector, in this case), use the variable name you've defined in the var property.

I have a "name" column in a table that contains a persons full name (ie. first+last name). The objective is to sort the column based on the person's last name first, then first name. My initial naive approach for the textsorter function was
function (a, b){
const aSplit = a.split(' ');
const bSplit = b.split(' ');
const aReverse = aSplit[1] + aSplit[0];
const bReverse = bSplit[1] + bSplit[0];
return aReverse.localeCompare(bReverse);
}
Unfortunately, some of the names I have to sort have extraneous spaces in them, potentially in either the first name or last name field. So I have to support this in my sorting.
I am currently only using the combined first+last name string for display and sorting but I have access to the seperate name strings as well as a preformatted lastname, firstname version. I'd like to attach either of these to the <th> tags as a data attribute or something like that and sort using that instead of the actual value but I'm not sure how to go about accessing those attributes from within the textsorter function.
Maybe try this - when you build the table HTML, add the last name + first name into a data-text attribute of the cell. Tablesorter will automatically use that attribute over the actual text within the cell. See textAttribute option to allow changing that attribute name.
noob here. The question once again says it all, :).
I have a ADOTable that is connected to a dbgrid and .mdb file. I want to filter my table field "OwnerName" for all instances of a string that contain another substring and display them on the dbGrid. Each record has this string field "OwnerName". How do I do this?
Ex:
substring: 'J'
Strings: 'Jannie', Johanna, Ko-Ja etc..
If possible I also want to be able to filter for string that not only start with that exact wubstring, but contain it later in as well, as with my stupid example: Ko-Ja.
Regards!!!
The are just two properties you have to set: Filter and Filtered. In the first set the filter condition (similar to SQL) and the second is a boolean stating whether to apply the filter or not.
Example:
YourADOTable.Filter := 'OwnerName LIKE ''%J%''';
YourADOTable.Filtered := True;
The %s in '%J%' means 'anything'.. so this way you are filtering for records which has in the OwnerName the text 'anything followed by a J and then anything again'.
Once you apply the filter, the dbGrid updates automatically.

I have a list of data with a title column (among many other columns) and I have a Power BI parameter that has, for example, a value of "a,b,c". What I want to do is loop through the parameter's values and remove any rows that begin with those characters.
For example:
Title
a
b
c
d
Should become
Title
d
This comma separated list could have one value or it could have twenty. I know that I can turn the parameter into a list by using
parameterList = Text.Split(<parameter-name>,",")
but then I am unsure how to continue to use that to filter on. For one value I would just use
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Table", each Text.StartsWith([key], <value-to-filter-on>))
but that only allows one value.
EDIT: I may have worded my original question poorly. The comma separated values in the parameterList can be any number of characters (e.g.: a,abcd,foo,bar) and I want to see if the value in [key] starts with that string of characters.
Try using List.Contains to check whether the starting character is in the parameter list.
each List.Contains(parameterList, Text.Start([key], 1)
Edit: Since you've changed the requirement, try this:
Table.SelectRows(
#"Table",
(C) => not List.AnyTrue(
List.Transform(
parameterList,
each Text.StartsWith(C[key], _)
)
)
)
For each row, this transforms the parameterList into a list of true/false values by checking if the current key starts with each text string in the list. If any are true, then List.AnyTrue returns true and we choose not to select that row.
Since you want to filter out all the values from the parameter, you can use something like:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each List.Contains(Parameter1,Text.Start([Title],1))=false)
Another way to do this would be to create a custom column in the table, which has the first character of title:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "FirstChar", each Text.Start([Title],1))
and then use this field in the filter step:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each List.Contains(Parameter1,[FirstChar])=false)
I tested this with a small sample set and it seems to be running fine. You can test both and see if it helps with the performance. If you are still facing performance issues, it would probably be easier if you can share the pbix file.
This seems to work fairly well:
= List.Select(Source[Title], each Text.Contains(Parameter1,Text.Start(_,1))=false)
Replace Source with the name of your table and Parameter1 with the name of your Parameter.
I have a simple questio: how to get/set checkbox from checkboxes in orbeon?
Something like this:
/myCheckboxes[value="itemVal"].isChecked()
That's right, the values are space-separated. To extract them, instead of contains() use this to check if value 42 is included:
tokenize(../myCheckboxGroup, '\s+') = '42'
This splits the value on spaces with the \s+ regexp and returns a string sequence.
By the way you don't need to write:
if (condition) true() else false()
You can always just write:
condition
i've made something like this:
to set: simply set value of checkbox group as a string compound by all items values i want to have checked separated by a space.
To check if checkbox is checked i`ve made something like this:
if(contains(../myCheckboxGroup, '2')) then true() else false()
but its not good solution for example because it's making that max items is 10 if i want to add values as a successive integers.
How to create an array in VTL and add contents to the array? Also how to retrieve the contents of the array by index?
According to Apache Velocity User Guide, right hand side of assignments can be of type
Variable reference
List item
String literal
Property reference
Method reference
Number literal
ArrayList
Map
You can create an empty list, which would satisfy all your needs for an array, in an Apache Velocity template with an expression like:
#set($foo = [])
or initialize values:
#set($foo = [42, "a string", 21, $myVar])
then, add elements using the Java add method:
$foo.add(53);
$foo.add("another string");
but beware, as the Java .add() method for the list type returns a boolean value, when you add an element to the list, Velocity will print, for instance, "true" or "false" based on the result of the "add" function.
A simple work around is assigning the result of the add function to a variable:
#set($bar = $foo.add(42))
You can access the elements of the list using index numbers:
<span>$foo[1]</span>
Expression above would show a span with the text "a string". However the safest way to access elements of a list is using foreach loops.
Creating an array is easy:
#set($array = [])
Putting an element into an array is also easy:
$array.add(23)
Getting an element from an array depends from your Velocity version.
In Velocity 1.6 you must use
$array.get($index)
Since Velocity 1.7 you can use the classic form:
$array[$index]
I haven't created an array in VTL but passed arrays to VTL context and used them. In VTL, you can not retrieve array contents by index, you only use foreach, as example this code is copied from my Dynamic SQL generation VTL Script:
#foreach( $col in $Columns ) SUM($col.DBColumn) AS ''$col.Name''#if($velocityCount!=$Columns.Count), #end #end
For this reason, we also can not have 2D arrays. When I needed an array to store 2 objects in a row, I used the workaround of defining a new class, and putting objects of that class in the single dimensional array.
