Hi all
This is an idea I've use in another environment. There is a need for a way to reuse small segments of code (snippets). For example, using the list format and the alternating list format - since the two are virtually identical, I could take this:
List Format
<tr class=DataGrid_Item>
<td>
<a onclick="return window.confirm('Delete this store?');"
{ACTION,[StoreID],DeleteStore,,Message}>
<img border=0 src="http://[ALIAS,System]/images/delete.gif"></a>
</td>
<td><a {ACTION,[StoreID],CurrentStoreID,Store Detail,Session}>[StoreID]</a>
</td>
<td>[StoreName]</td>
</tr>
Alternating List Format
<tr class=DataGrid_AlternatingItem>
<td>
<a
onclick="return window.confirm('Delete this store?');"
{ACTION,[StoreID],DeleteStore,,Message}>
<img border=0 src="http://[ALIAS,System]/images/delete.gif">
</a>
</td>
<td><a {ACTION,[StoreID],CurrentStoreID,Store Detail,Session}>
[StoreID]
</a>
</td>
<td>[StoreName]</td>
</tr>
and do do it like this:
List Format
<tr class=DataGrid_Item>[Snippet:StoreList]</tr>
Alternating List Format
<tr class=DataGrid_AlternatingItem>[Snippet:StoreList]</tr>
We'd only a place to define and maintain "Snippets". Possibly a new table and a new option on the ListX module?
Snippets Table
SnippetName, SnippetCode
"StoreList", <td>
<a
onclick="return window.confirm('Delete this store?');"
{ACTION,[StoreID],DeleteStore,,Message}>
<img border=0 src="http://[ALIAS,System]/images/delete.gif">
</a>
</td>
<td><a {ACTION,[StoreID],CurrentStoreID,Store Detail,Session}>
[StoreID]
</a>
</td>
<td>[StoreName]</td>
Then we could maintain such snippets in one place.
In the other environment, I provided support for parameters. That could be an enhancement to this later.
