possible to use unbound values in editor ?

crush123

i have a basic product table using ajax/json source, which on postCreate() adds rows to other tables in the database.

I would like to add the option so that the postCreate() function checks the value of a checkbox on the editor modal so the user can control this event, but the checkbox itself is not represented anywhere other than in the form, I just want it to appear and be able to check its post value

Include the checkbox in the form like you would do any other checkbox field (just don't define a Field in the PHP code!) then it will be available in the $values parameter that is passed into the PHP postCreate event.

sorry, don't quite get it.

does this checkbox lie outside of the fields: [ ] array ?

is there an example ?

allan

There isn't an example of this I'm afraid.

Add:

{ "name": 'unbound', type: 'checkbox', options: ... }

to your Javascript for Editor.

Then in postCreate use: $values['unbound'] to get the value of the checkbox.

thats great.

in an effort to avoid adding the field value to the name, I was leaving out this parameter entirely, giving me an error.

works a treat ! Thanks
