Omit portal record problem.

[tmas73]

I started this threat in a different forum but even with with all their great help I'm stuck and it seems like a fairly simple fix. I just don't know how.

I have a portal field that I can dynamically filter, filter by categories and also hide records from the portal, all is working great but one thing. The current active record is automatically getting hidden after I choose a category filter.

My steps are.

Show all in Portal script, switch to category filter "Body Lotion", then I click on the open record (grey area outside the portal) and the green tea lotion switches automatically to hidden. You see the number change from 1 to 0 in the portal row of Green Tea.

How can I prevent this from happening?

"I started this threat" - lol. Bad mood, perhaps?

I cannot duplicate your problem. The only thing I can think that it might be is that you have two buttons that overlap: the go_recipes_portal button in the portal row, and the omit portal row button.

OK, I think finally got you, Sorry you had to drag it over to another forum. A lot of belong to multiple forums and Help sites,

Anyway heres what I did.

1] changed on_off field to correct table name

You did not change it when you set second portal

2] Disabled auto calcultion w/ replace on field on_off

3] Since you have version 10, I set up a script trigger on the gCategoryFilter field so when you modify it and it = show all it will run the shaow all script.

4]Modified the show all script to go to Name tab when executed.

5] Changed both relationships (removed cFilterKey < = and > =. I did not see the need for it.

6]fixed overlapping tabs

I hope and think I finally got what you are driving at.

Awesome, at first sight looks like it! I wonder it seems the g_filter doen not work. I changed the show all in the popup menu? I will have a seperate button for show all (portal rows) the show all in the popup menue is just for the categories. =) But good idea this way.

Thanks so much.

Hi I run into a small problem when a user enters nothing in the category field the record hides and is not accessible in the portal window, anyway around this, besides a field validation?
