Help with CFGridColumn and Href

[Carolyn.Hajnasiewicz]

I must be missing something. Yes this works but only if I hard code the file
names....

..."when you query your db, and one of the columns have the pdf file names -
that is the same as this line pdf columns in the admin query that I hard
coded. ( querySetCell(admin, "pdf", "file1.pdf"); )"

I will not have knowledge of the file names, and there will potentially be
hundreds of unique .PDF file names.

[Mike Nimer]

You don't need to know the file name, just the query column that contains
the name. All the code is doing it attaching the value of the column in the
selected row.

If you want to send me a simple access db and a sample I'll see if I can
tell why it isn't working for you.

For the record, the href attribute does not work in the Flash format. You need to use a Javascript if you want to link a row to a URL.

The HREF attribute works in FLASH format for me.

I haven't upgraded to CF7 yet, what's your take on the new Flash interface for
CFGrid? CFGrid works so well for me and I am anxious to upgrade but would like
to anticipate possible issues/resolution before hand.

Hi Carolyn, If you haven't figured it out already, this will work.

Carolyn, Just realized that you said only the pdf NAMES are in the column in
the table. In my example, I stored the entire url in the table so I just
needed to specify the column name and I was good to go. IF your pdf's are
going to be in the same directory then you can add the first part of the url
all the way up to the filename into the example I provided. If you have
trouble figuring it out, let me know. And to respond to the couple of posts
above your last, Flash CFGrid DOES NOT directly support the href property but
you can use Actionscript not Javascript in the onChange property of the grid to
emulate the functionality. Mike
