I'm solving a problem mentioned here
I was able to do custom format of the grid elements in such a way that few columns with are editable in each row, I make display value one and save the newly changed value in a hidden field using formatOptions. However when it comes to selectbox fields, I read that editoptions is the one to be chosen over formatoptions. So currently my selecbox is as follows
editoptions: {
dataUrl: '/lists/products',
buildSelect: function (data) {
return "<select><option val='0'></option>" + data + "</select>";
}
}
Now I need to store the selected value into a hidden field something of this sort <input type="hidden", name="items[item_id]" value="newly selected value">. But some how I'm unable to get this through editoptions. The code that I tried is here.
editable:true,
edittype:"select",
editoptions: {
dataUrl: '/lists/products',
buildSelect: function (data) {
return "<select><option val='0'></option>" + data + "</select>";
},
dataEvents: [
{
type: 'change',
fn: function(e) {
console.log(e);
html = '<input type=text name=product_codes[' + rowObject.item_id +
'] value="' + e.currentTarget.options.value + '" />';
return html;
}}
]
}
This does not work. Any suggestion are welcome.
The whole jqgrid under which this comes is follows
showGrid: function(data){
var request_data = data[0] ? data[0] :[];
var data = data[1] ? data[1] :[];
var items = data.invoice_items;
var lastsel2;
var $product_values = {};
if(data[0].type_code !='xyz'){
var $this = this;
$("#grid").GridUnload();
$("#grid").jqGrid({

el.attr('name', product_codes['+rowObject.invoice_item_id+']);
el.attr('value', cellvalue);
return el[0];
}}), buildSelect: function (data) {

Thank You Sai Krishna
You don't posted any test data which you use to fill the grid (mydata). It seems to me that the value from the column invoice_item_id can be good used as the rowid. To simplify the code to get unique id which represent the item of the invoice I will suppose that the value d.id is the same as d.invoice_item_id. If you use another value you can change the code below including additional call of getCell method.
I don't see needs to use any additional hidden input fields either in the custom formatter or in the custom editing (custom_element). Instead of that I suggest do the following simple construction.
You defines a variable (an object) which will represent the changes in the fields which the user do in the invoice. You can just define a variable like.
var invoiceCorrections = {};
and reset it to the empty object {} every time when you clear the grid (about the code $("#grid").GridUnload();).
You can save the changes of invoices in invoiceCorrections object in the following form: The invoiceCorrections can has the values of invoice_item_id as the properties of the changed items of the invoice. If the value of some editable column like 'product_code', 'mbl' (??? 'mbl' or 'mobile' ??? you use both), 'term_code', 'carrier' or 'vessel' are changed you can save in invoiceCorrections the new modified values. For example,
{
'invoice_item_id123': { // - invoice_item_id123 it's the id of one item
product_code: 'new product id 1', // 'product_code' was changed
carrier: 'new carrier 1' // 'carrier' was also changed
},
'invoice_item_id456': { // - invoice_item_id456it's the id of another item
product_code: 'new product id 2',
term_code: 'term code 2'
},
}
To fill the invoiceCorrections in the described above form you can use dataEvents:
dataEvents: [
{
type: 'change',
fn: function(e) {
var $input = $(e.target), $tr = $input.closest('tr.jqgrow'),
rowid, changedItem, inputColumnName = 'product_code';
if ($tr.length > 0) {
rowid = $tr[0].id; // if can be invoice_item_id
// if you use other rowid you can get the value of any non-editable
// with respect of `getCell`:
// var invoice_item_id = $("#grid").jqGrid('getCell',
// rowid, 'invoice_item_id');
if (rowid in invoiceCorrections) { // the same as
// typeof(invoiceCorrections[rowid]) !== "undefined"
changedItem = invoiceCorrections[rowid];
} else {
changedItem = {};
invoiceCorrections[rowid] = changedItem;
}
changedItem = invoiceCorrections[inputColumnName];
changedItem[inputColumnName] = $input.val();
}
}}
]
I used inputColumnName = 'product_code' in the above code to make you easier to move the code to the function which you can share in the code of dataEvents for different columns of grid. In case of the usage select elements you can replace $input.val() to $input.find('option:selected').val() or $input.find('option:selected').text().
In the way described above you will collect the full information which you need to post to the server in the invoiceCorrections object. So you can send invoiceCorrections to the server just per $.ajax or $.post. You should fill the data parameter of $.ajax depend on the implementation of your server part. It can be just data: invoiceCorrections or data: JSON.stringify(invoiceCorrections) or data: {invoiceChanged: JSON.stringify(invoiceCorrections)}.
