More Detail on using the select menu

[Kateryna Grynko]

Hi,

Could you please clarify what value is read from mobileselectmenu_165?
Please add the following JavaScript to parameter 'where': prereturn '{"Book": {"$regex": "A"}}';/pre

[eascards]

You select what book you want to see in the mobile select menu. I added the code and now it at lease takes the all of the calves away but it still doesn't show the ones that should be there.

Also, I have a regular search page so how can I get it to only search for calves in the book selected on a different page?

Hi Eascards,

Please try this code:

pre

var whereObject = {"Book":{"$regex":"^" + value, "$options":"i"}};

return JSON.stringify(whereObject);

/pre

Regards.

[eascards]

Working great!! Thanks for your help!

[eascards]

How can I get it so that when I open the search page, it only searches through the calves within the book selected on the previous page?

[Yurii Orishchuk]

Hi eascards,

You need to store bookId on previous page to the LSV.

See details: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

Then use this LSV in this "where" parameter in accordance to your needs.

I created the LSV event but when I link it to the "where" parameter, it gets rid of what was linked there already, therefore making the whole search not work.
This is the mapping for the search page:

This is what I did to set the LSV:

eascards,

Ok, no problem, leave current link and just edit your JS inside this "where" parameter.

You need to pass in this object some specific search criteria which is you need with value from LSV.

You can access to this LSV with following code:

pre

var bookid = localStorage.getItem("bookid");

/pre

Then you can use "bookid" js variable.

Regards.

Without the code that I had there before,

return '{"calf_id":"'+value+'"}';

it doesn't work.

When I add the new code, it get an error.

Hello,

You try to define bookid variable after you return value and exit function. Code after return will never execute.
