Bootstrap Extra Components 1.1.0 released

[rafig]

As I thought: the media type does not support byte[]. I could add a property brandLogoDataprovider, then you could assign a form variable or something like that, but I think that's a bit over engineered. Your use case of setting a nav bar's brand logo from a record is maybe not the 90% use case...

Hi.
My ‘use case’ is that I want a client to be able to associate an image of their choosing that I am now getting them to store along with their organisation details & then in solution, if they change the ‘org’ it changes the logo…
(My client has two parts that I have termed organisations and in the solution someone at a higher level may want to change which org they are dealing with & illustrate by changing logo)
I'd be happy with a new property brandLogoDataprovider...

Thanks

But since this logo is rather static, it doesn't feel wrong to create a media from it, does it?

Most of them it will be static, but if the client decides to change the logo they use for an org, I don't want to have to be changing media files on the server and I'm also using that table media on reports, so want it to come from the table ...

Also, I'm a bit confused
In my onLoad I put

Code: Select all

   var media = solutionModel.newMedia('mylogo',_to_organisation_default.logo);
   elements.navbar.brandLogo = 'media:///mylogo';


and that sets the correct image.
I have added a menu to the navbar with the list of organisations and an 'onDataChange' method to that menu.
Prior to this, this code changed the brandLogo correctly

Code: Select all

   switch (_to_organisation_default.name, 1)) {
   case 'Org2':
      elements.navbar.brandLogo = "media:///Org2Logo.png";
      break
   default:
      elements.navbar.brandLogo = "media:///OrgDefaultLogo.png";
   }


but now using this code, it doesn't work

Code: Select all

   // remove logo if it exists
   var removed = solutionModel.removeMedia('mylogo');
   // set logo to org logo
   var media = solutionModel.newMedia('mylogo',_to_organisation_default.logo);
   elements.navbar.brandLogo = 'media:///mylogo';


(followed by an application.updateUI...)
and the relationship which is based on a global is having it's global value changed (& if I console output the media column, it changes), as the org name which is setting brandName is changing also based on that relationship??
Not sure what I'm doing wrong or why it isn't working...

It could be that Servoy does not see the setting of brandLogo = 'media:///logo' as a change and therefore doesn't send anything to the client.

Try something like this instead:

Code: Select all

// set logo to org logo
var media = solutionModel.newMedia('logo_' + _to_organisation_default.organisation_id, _to_organisation_default.logo);
elements.navbar.brandLogo = 'media:///logo_' + _to_organisation_default.organisation_id;

This should give each org logo a unique name... (given that the ID of organisation is called "organisation_id").

Also, with this approach, there is no need to remove any media previously created...

as it now works great, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,
I was just playing with the online demo (demo.servoy.com) & downloaded the bootstrapextracomponents sample from there, imported it & let it auto import the correct web packages, but the current release of Bootstrap Extra Components seems to be missing the 'badges' component??
Is there a reason or is it just a mistake?
Thanks
Rafi

That is a know little problem and is fixed for the next release. You could also use the git source to fix this.

Hi

There was a question in this thread about the navbar, placed in the header part, where the menu items of the dropdown menu where not shown completely. They were cut off by the main part. Can anyone answer this question? We have the same problem. I tried to define the z-index of header, navbar etc.

Thanks and regards
