rsrc Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change the initial row of a portal through a script. I found the following post, which seems to indicate it is not possible: http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/31297-change-initial-row-via-script/ However, that post is from 2005 so I'm hoping maybe there is a solution now! If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it, Thanks rori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Why do you need it ? There are new workarounds using script triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsrc Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks for those suggestions - the second post looks like it might be helpful.. I'm basically trying to display the associated images for a record. Except that they are supposed to be displayed in a grid, say 4 x 4 so 16 images on a page, then when you click next, you see the next 16 images, etc. Each portal row is displayed separately in a different portal to allow me to have a grid. So the first portal has initial row=1, num rows=1, the second has initial row=2, num rows=1, etc So I'll see what I can do based on the second example you posted. although I would also be curious to know how I can change the initial row with a script trigger...

You can only change which records are related (my first example) or which related records are shown in the portal (my second example - version 11+ only).

Raybaudi Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The initial row of a portal cannot be changed. But you can perform a script that let you show a calculated row of a portal with unique row ( provided that that portal can scroll ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Jondreau Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Or you can use a global field with 16 repetitions. An OnRecordLoad script trigger can set their initial states, and then a script attached to a button can load the next 16 images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
