Spry repeat list break DW insert transaction?

Hi,
Does anyone know if spry repeat lists are recognized by DW as input devices? I added a few to a form, which uses the builtin DW insert record wizard, and they don't show up with the other controls in the server behavior list and they break the transaction (red ! on the insert transaction).
Are there configuration issues? Or are these widgets only for search and display forms?
Thanks for any help,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I´m sure that the SPRY repeat lists you´re creating would need some heavy modification in order to become "regular" ADDT dropdown menus -- what they would need at least, is some embedded string comparison (aka PHP´s "strcmp" function) for displaying an existing column value as "SELECTED", like ADDT´s menus do:
...and I don´t think your Spry lists provide this for each list option.
and they don't show up with the other controls in the server behavior list
it seems as if those lists have one or more required elements missing which DW needs to accept them as valid "control". You can actually check the differences by opening an other ADDT form containing a valid control and taking a look at the HTML/PHP code of that list -- what does it have what your Spry list doesn´t ?

Adding a Counter to Spry Repeat List

Hi, this might seem like a relatively simple problem but after spending some time, I haven't yet arrived at an appropriate solution.
1. I have spry repeat list.
2. I want add a counter (required by a javascript function nested within the repeat list).
I have tried ds2.getCurrentRowID and that failed.
One simple way of thinking of the problem is: how would you modify a spry repeat list to display each row, numbered 1 through n down the left-hand column?
            <tr spry:repeat="ds2" spry:odd="evenRowVenue" spry:even="oddRowVenue" spry:hover="hoverVenue" onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[INCREMENTING COUNTER HERE],\'click\');')">
              <td align="left"><a href="venue_show.php?vid={@vid}">{@name}</a></td>
              <td align="left">{@street1}</td>
              <td align="left">{@city_suburb}</td>
              <td align="left">{@state}</td>
              <td align="left">{@country}</td>
              <td align="left">{@rating}</td>
            </tr>

{ds_RowNumber} is what you are looking for.
So in you case:
onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[{ds_RowNumber}],\'click\');')">

Spry Repeat List does not appear in Google Chrome 28

Spry repeat list works in IE8 and Firefox 22. However in Google Chrome 28 no data appears (data is blank). This is the code:
<div>

              <div spry:region="Events">

ADDT Dependent Dropdown SB with Spry Repeat Lists

Hi,
I first want to say that this forum is fantastic and full of very bright folks willing to help us not so bright types.
Next, of course, I have a problem. I'm using spry repeat lists as dropdowns in a form. There are 3 that need to be dependent on each other. I had been using the ADDT dependent dropdown SB and it works great for normal selects. It doesn't seem to work at all on spry repeat lists. I was hoping these two would play nicely together, and maybe they do and there's some trick to this.
If the ADDT SB's don't work with Spry repeat lists, maybe there's a way to do this using javascript?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Tony Galfano

Hi Gunter,
Thanks for the help. I've decided, based on your accurate assessment of the work involved in getting all this to work with spry, to ditch that and just refresh the damn page after all new entries are made. I appreciate your help, probably saved me many hours.
I do have a wierd issue with the ADDT editaqble dropdown behavior. I actually use this one a lot and it always works well. I have one dropdown that only showsw the first 2 characters of the contents. A swcreenshot is avaiable here: http://www.zenwebguru.com/editabledropdown.jpg
All of the other editable dropdowns on the page, and the site, work fine, but this one is shruken for some reason. I'm wondering if there is a size limitation in the css or the js that can't handle larger records? The largest field in the table contains the value:
"Flat Guarantee; Purchaser to provide one Fender Amplifier (see rider for list of amps) at no cost to Artist."
This really shouldn't present a problem, but maybe it's something else?
Thanks, as always for your great help.
Tony

Limiting Items Displayed in Spry Repeat Lists, Tables, Etc.

Is it possible to limit the items shown in Spry repeat
region? For example say I have 20 items in a list and only want to
display the first three items, not the entire list. If so how is
that done?

Hey Oscar,
Glad that works for you.
Kin and I were thinking that {ds_RowNumber} might be better
for that particular looping, but you get the idea.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_set_overview/index.html
That was our first overview doc and it was definitive at the
time. We no longer update it but it's a good intro to Spry.
You can find the built in data references in that doc,
granted almost at the very bottom.
The API doc
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
is a good start but we still have a lot to add to it. I have
plans for it for sure.
We are doing a big push for 1.6 towards progressive
enhancement, unobtrusive js and things like that.
Expect docs and samples and some cool utilities to come out
this summer and for 1.6.
And we won't charge for it, but we also won't return any
cash-laden envelopes... ;)
Let us know how to improve any part of Spry.
Thanks,
Don

Adding an image to .xml for a spry repeating list or data set

How do I code my .xml so that as well as the text the spry displays an image for each entry? Do I need to create a seperate gallery rather than draw from my root images folder?

How to Display Repeat List In Spry Tab Content

Hello,
I am new to Spry. I thought I could just create an XML

list inside the Tabbed Content area of the Tabbed Panel. It is not
working at all for me. Is this doable at all? If so, how?
Thanks!

Filter spry table from repeater list

Using Dreamweaver, I am looking to find out how to link a
spry repeat list (Select Drop-Down) to a Spry table.
I have created a repeat list (Select Drop-Down) using a
distinct filter on a field in my XML data base :
The XML database is:
var ds2 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts/SubType",{sortOnLoad:"SubType",sortOrderOnLoad:"as
cending",distinctOnLoad:true});
The drop down list is created by
<div spry:region="ds2">
<select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="ds2">
<option value="{SubType}">{SubType}</option>
</select>
</div>
I have a table which I want to show only the values on the
table where the subType that matches the value from the select
list.
This data is populated by:
var ds1 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("Data/NetballDatafeed190401.xml",
"NetballList/NetballProducts",{sortOnLoad:"ProductPrice",sortOr
derOnLoad:"ascending"});
and is created by
div spry:region="ds1">
<table>
<tr>
<th>ProductName</th>
<th>ProductPrice</th>
<th>ImageURL</th>
<th>SubType</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds1">
<td>{ProductName}</td>
<td>{ProductPrice}</td>
<td><img src="{ImageURL}"/></td>
<td>{SubType}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I believe that I need to create a spry:Choose statement in
the drop down list which runs a function that filters the DS1 XML
data.
I beleive that The function need to look like
var myFilterFunc = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
some funtion here that filters ds1 on {SubType}.......
I will then need to run ds1.filter(myFilterFunc);
Any pointers or examples most welcome.

to do the the spry:if="'statement" needs to be in the
<tr> rows you want to filter on

Double spry:repeat for menue list

Hi,
My first 12 h with spry and ajax were quite succesfull but
now there is a point were I can't get along.
Ich have extendet the galleries.xml file with another
dimension:
<kategories>
<kategory>
<targetname>Kategory1</targetname>
<galleries>
<gallery base="island/" file="photos.xml">
<region>Gallerie1</region>
</gallery>
<gallery base="iceland/" file="photos.xml">
<region>Gallery2</region>
</gallery>
</galleries>
</kategory>
</kategories>
My goal is to create a vertical navigation menue like:
Kategory1
Gallery1
Gallery2
Kategory2
Gallery3
Gallery4
I wanted to archieve this with a douple spry:repeat in the
following code:
<div spry:region="dsKategories dsGalleries" >
<div spry:repeat="dsKategories">
<div >{dsKategories::targetname</div>
<div spry:repeatchildren="dsGalleries">
<div>{dsGalleries::region}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
but the result looks like that:
Kategory1
Gallery1
Gallery2
Kategory2
Gallery1
Gallery2
Can anyone give me a hint, what I'm doing wrong or what I
might have misunderstood?
Greeting from Cologne, Germany
Markus

Hi pygmaleon,
The reason you don't get what you expect is because your
dsGalleries data set is only selecting the first gallery for the
first category because of the XPath you set on it. If you want to
use Spry to accomplish what you want, you'll have to do some slight
restrucuring of your XML. Perhaps something like this:
<galleries>
<kategories>
<kategory id="1">
<targetname>Kategory1</targetname>
</kategory>
<kategory id="2">
<targetname>Kategory2</targetname>
</kategory>
</kategories>
<gallery base="g1/" file="photos.xml" kategory="1">
<region>Gallerie 1</region>
</gallery>
<gallery base="g2/" file="photos.xml" kategory="1">
<region>Gallerie 2</region>
</gallery>
<gallery base="g3/" file="photos.xml" kategory="2">
<region>Gallerie 3</region>
</gallery>
</galleries>
And then you can do something like:
var dsKategories = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("galleries/kategories.xml",
"/galleries/kategories/kategory" )
var dsGalleries = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("galleries/kategories.xml",
"/galleries/gallery" );
<div spry:region="dsKategories dsGalleries" >
<div spry:repeat="dsKategories">
<div >{dsKategories::targetname</div>
<div spry:repeatchildren="dsGalleries">
<div spry:if="{dsKategories::@id} ==
{dsGalleries::@kategory}">{dsGalleries::region}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Repeat List Help

I have a spry region with a select list like so :
<div spry:region="dsPhones">
<select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="dsPhones"
spry:choose="choose"
onchange="dsPhones.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex);" >
<option spry:when="{ds_RowNumber} ==
{ds_CurrentRowNumber}" selected="selected">{name}</option>
<option spry:default="default">{name}</option>
</select>
</div>
The select list works fine until...
I have another dataset on the page that pulls the phone id
out of a different table. I am trying to get the select list to
select the phone id from the other dataset on the page and display
the name from dsPhones… I can’t figure this out out. I
tried to make the select list dynamic in the properties instpector
but it gave me this below and doenst work:
<div spry:region="dsPhones dsInfo">
<select name="select" spry:repeatchildren="dsPhones"
spry:choose="choose"
onchange="dsPhones.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex);EST();"
>
<option spry:when="{ds_RowNumber} ==
{ds_CurrentRowNumber}" selected="selected" value="" <%If (Not
isNull("{dsInfo::idphone}")) Then If ("" =
CStr("{dsInfo::idphone}")) Then
Response.Write("selected=""selected""") :
Response.Write("")%>>{name}</option>
<option spry:default="default" value="" <%If (Not
isNull("{dsInfo::idphone}")) Then If ("" =
CStr("{dsInfo::idphone}")) Then
Response.Write("selected=""selected""") :
Response.Write("")%>>{name}</option>
</select>
</div>
can someone help? I can try to clarify better with an example
if needed.

Hello,
you want to check whether the user entered same value twice in the combo-editor, dont you? Then have a look:import java.awt.event.*;

     private JComboBox combo = null;
     public ComboTest()

          setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          setVisible(true);
     private void initCombo()
          combo=new JComboBox();
          combo.setEditable(true);
          combo.addActionListener(this);
          getContentPane().add(combo);

          JTextField editorField = (JTextField) combo.getEditor().getEditorComponent();
          String input = editorField.getText();
          if(input.equals(""))
               return;
          int count = combo.getItemCount();
          boolean repeat = false;
          for(int i=0; i<count; i++)
               if(input.equals(combo.getItemAt(i)))
                    repeat = true;
                    break;
          if(repeat)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(combo,"Do not enter same value twice!");
          else
               combo.addItem(input);
          editorField.setText("");
     public static void main(String[]args)
          new ComboTest();

Help with Spry Rating Widget within a Spry Repeating Region

My link http://www.youthinkyougotitbad.com
This is a long question, but it seems to me if answered somewhere it could help alot of people in the spry community creating comment boards as it uses three important spry widgets: rating, repeating, and tabbed panels. I am trying to use spry rating widget within a spry repeating region within a spry tabbed panel with xml. I was trying to go with the pulse light script (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831721#3831721) but Gramps told me about the spry rating widget. But I have ran into a couple more problems. First, I couldnt find that much information on the forums or online about how to do the php page with the spry rating widget. None of these have any information on how to do it:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index .html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/apis/rating. html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.ht ml
And it seems that the official examples are so poor (or I am just ignorant, which def could be a possiblity) it shows
to set the initial rating value from the server, but uses a static value of 4

var initialValue_dynamic = new Spry.Widget.Rating("initialValue_dynamic", {ratingValueElement:'spryrating1_val'});
</script>
I finally found a site that has the php and mysql setup.
http://www.pixelplant.ro/en/articles/article-detail/article/adobe-widgets-for-download.htm l
But its not perfect. It has the same problem that I ran into with Pulse light, that you had to use php echo within the spry repeating region to set the initial value from the server:
<span id="spryrating1" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="<?php echo $row['average']?>"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript"
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id=spryrating1&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
So instead, I tried with three of my panels (www.youthinkyougotitbad.com) to get the average rating from xml by using the following queries:
Recent
Returns the blurts in most recent order along with average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC
Wet Eyed
Returns the blurts in highest ratings order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r Desc
Dry Eyed
Returns the blurts in lowest rating order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r
These all return the correct xml in the correct order.And they return the average rating of each blurt which I can send to my page with xml.
My first question is that I dont know how to configure the query on my fourth panel Empathized & Advised the same way because it already has a Group By for the Comment Id.
SELECT `Comment`.id_Blurt, COUNT(*) as frequency, Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt, `Comment` WHERE Blurt.Id_blurt = `Comment`.id_Blurt GROUP BY `Comment`.id_Blurt ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
Not sure if you guys need more information to understand that all, if so just ask.
So after I get my average value through xml to the first three panels, I set my spry repeating region up like this:
(Blurt panel)
<div spry:region="pv1" spry:repeatchildren="pv1">
           <div class="blurtbox">
            
            <h3> "{pv1::Blurt}"</h3>
            <p> Blurted from {pv1::Location} at {pv1::Date}</p>
            <p>Empathize or Advise about {pv1::Name}'s Blurt #<a href="detailblurt.php?blurtid={pv1::Id_blurt}"> {pv1::Id_blurt}</a></a></p>
           <span id="{pv1::Id_blurt}" class="ratingContainer">
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingRatedMsg">Thank You! Your tears have been tallied.</span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="{pv1::average_r}"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // overview of available options and their values:
            // http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index.html
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("{pv1::Id_blurt}", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id={pv1::Id_blurt}&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
             <br/>
           </div>
          </div>
Ok, it registers the right vote in the database with the right blurt id each time. But I am having two problems so far:
One, even though {pv1::average_r} returns the correct average through xml, it doesn't show the initial rating value for each of the repeating blurts. It seems to show the first one correct, and then just repeat that same value to the other ones that follow. I just dont understand since it can get the correct server value right after you vote (afterRating:'serverValue), that I can't manipulate spryrating.js in some way that I could just replace 'ratingValue' in ratingValueElement:'ratingValue' with something to give me the initial server value.
Two: Is even more mysterious to me, if you play around with voting on the site, sometimes you are unable to vote on different blurts. Its weird. It seems like that the javascript is completely off just on those blurts. And sometimes its a whole row, sometimes none. But so far its never a problem on the first tabbed panel (Recent), only on the other three. As far as I know, the coding is exactly the same in each tab's repeating region except for the different xml input.
And, now on the live server, sometimes the pics of tears used to voting dont show up until you click.
Any help on those three questions (how to query the fourth panel, how to show the initial server value, and the glitches with voting) would be greatly appreciated!! I looked pretty hard on adobe forums and other sites, and didnt see much on how to really use the spry rating widget with php and xml.
Thanks!!

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(

Spry select list code to wire it to html data table SET column?

I am making a page based on Figure 15-14, Pg 878, in David Power's book, "Dw CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP. I have two separate html data tables hidden in the page, one for the specialties drop down select list and the other for the teachers master/detail regions. These are populated with php and working well. The spry select list and master/detail regions are working great except for one issue. The column in my html data table that is being filtered ("Specialty" in my code = 'Category' in the book's example code) is a SET column (with possible value of 1, 2, 3, 4, and/or 5). Clicking on the drop down menu brings up the records with a single value beautifully. The result for records with multiple values is a spry error "Invalid row number: 0". After four different versionings and methods of messing with this, I still haven't a clue. Please help me with how to rewire the Spry select list code so that it will read the records that have multiple items in that column. I have included the code below.
var data_set_teachers = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "teacher_data");
data_set_teachers.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
if (row["Specialty"] == data_set_teachers.gallery) {
   return row;
return null;
data_set_teachers.filter(chooseSet);
function changeSet(set)
data_set_teachers.gallery = set;
data_set_teachers.filter(chooseSet);
data_set_teachers.setCurrentRowNumber(0);
var rows = data_set_teachers.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
   if (rows[i]["Specialty"] == set) {
     data_set_teachers.setCurrentRowNumber(i);
     break;
var data_set_specialties = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "specialty_data");

Well I'll be damned!
What's done in the sample app is, of course, the intuitively obvious choice and is exactly what I started out trying to do the first time round.
But as I mentioned before, when I first tried it (yes: I'm pretty sure I set the "for" attribute on the inlineMessage components), I got the non-unique component id exception for the inlineMessage component(s) after adding the second (but not the first) row to the page.
Anyway, after dragging my inlineMessages to the exact same position as those in the AppModel example, now things work fine (except I think I'd like a line break before the message and to change the row/column styles so the values and messages line up properly...the look is rather ugly in the AppModel example when there are validation messages displayed).
Not sure, but I'm thinking maybe there was an issue with where the inline message markup was placed, my first time through, relative to the data table value bound component and the column header facet?
I was using the application view drag 'n drop feature the first time round and dragged the inlineMessage component to the spot just below the data table value bound component and hence just above the column header facet. In the AppModel example, OTOH, the inline messages are placed just after the column header facet.
Of course, I will now try to duplicate the original exception.
If I can (and it is an issue with placement), I will post back some sort of bug report or RFE. Otherwise, I'll post back declaring what a bone head I've been...;-)
Anyway, thanks for the quick response, v.

How to use Php a function in an insert transaction ?

Hi,
I want to insert a computed data (string) based on a date (dd-mm-aaaa hh:mm:ss).
The result must be AAAAMM Year+month without spaces.
So i tried this :
$ins_agenda->addColumn("aaaa_mm", "string", "POST", "date({date_debut_effective},'Ym')");
But it failed.
Is it possible to use Php fonction with an appropriated syntax ?
Thanks for your help. JM.

I get this :
tNG_fields.getColumnValue:
Column date_debut_effective is not part of the current transaction
In fact, date_debut_effective is the form field name, deb_eve is the database field name (transaction name).
aaaa_mm is another database field in the same table, same transaction.
aaaa_mm should only be computed with deb_eve data.
When I use deb_eve as transaction field name in the trigger, the targeted database field (aaaa_mm) remain empty after the insert.
The logic should like this :
Form field (format datetime)
-> database X field deb_eve (same format datetime)
-> computed database X field aaaa_mm (format aaaamm or Ym)
I use this : $ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("aaaa_mm", "STRING_TYPE", "CURRVAL", ""); to fill aaaa_mm field.
My code :
before trigger
// date de début effective vers date aaaamm
function Trigger_Custom_aaaamm(&$tNG) {
$date_field = $tNG->getColumnValue(deb_eve);
$tNG->setColumnValue("aaaa_mm", date($date_field,'Ym') );
insert transaction
// Make an insert transaction instance
$ins_agenda_previsionnel = new tNG_insert($conn_cnxWarh);
$tNGs->addTransaction($ins_agenda_previsionnel);
// Register triggers
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Custom_aaaamm", 98);
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->registerTrigger("AFTER", "Trigger_LinkTransactions3", 98);
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->registerTrigger("ERROR", "Trigger_LinkTransactions3", 98); //liste IRP
// Add columns
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->setTable("agenda_previsionnel");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("id_agent", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "VALUE", "{rsfiche_agent.id_agent}");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("aaaa_mm", "STRING_TYPE", "CURRVAL", "");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("titre", "STRING_TYPE", "VALUE", "ENTREE AGENT");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("evenement", "STRING_TYPE", "VALUE", "Entrée Agent {Vue_Visu.prenom} {Vue_Visu.nom_complet} ");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("deb_eve", "DATE_TYPE", "POST", "date_debut_effective");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("fin_eve", "DATE_TYPE", "VALUE", "{Vue_Visu.date_fin_contrat}");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->addColumn("frequence", "STRING_TYPE", "VALUE", "1");
$ins_agenda_previsionnel->setPrimaryKey("id_agenda", "NUMERIC_TYPE");

I solve this problem today,,..is very vell documented...
When you repeat acordion or tab or other wiget, you need have
in repeat div also constructor of that object..
Try this code...look at last div..
change your include paths.

Multiple insert transaction for image uploads

Hello !
I can't figure it out how to connect multiple insert transactions on one page?
For example - I want to upload images from page with different categories(have menu list) and insert by the one button all the images at once.
image 1, cat 1
image 2, cat 2
image 3, cat 3
button to insert
Any Ideas? Where to start from?
Thanks, Nick.
Please help ! Maybe link for some tutorials?

Hi Nick,
What you are asking for is very possible to make with ADDT but if you are totally unfamiliar with ADDT you should probably go over the manual to go over the many functions that ADDT offers. You can find the manual two ways.
1. After you have created your site and created one blank page you can open the page to have the Developer Toolbox Tab un-greyed out. Then you can click on the last icon (Control Panel) and press the help button.
That will open up the manual.
2. Go to: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_ADDT/help.html?content=MXK3_052000_MX_K3_con trol_panel.htm
Same place the help button takes you.
Yes, Waleed is having hosting issues that I think he is sorting out.
