*SOLVED* _BINARY_ in frontend auto listing not working...

I have a chronoconnectivity connection setup and the frontend auto listing shows the data just fine. I have one binary field "activated" and this is setup in the frontend list settings -> General -> binary fields, ticks show up correctly on the rows and it works great for toggling the activated field per record.

My issue is this:
I want to be able to toggle the "activated" fields of multiple records at once by selecting them and clicking on the "activate" task button. When I do this on the frontend nothing happens, the listing does not even display after the page loads. Under my frontend list settings -> Toolbar Settings -> Toolbar tasks is:
_BINARY_:Activate:1:model_bizdir.activated

[attachment=0]Activate Businesses 2012-11-04 00-21-23.png[/attachment]
Red boxed items faulty. Green OK.

What are my doing wrong?

Update: I am starting to think this may be a bug. In the backend, admin auto listing with all the same settings works just fine. I have tried this on two occasions now with the same results. Only test left is to try it on a bare install of joomla so I can rule out possible problems from a faulty / conflicting component, plugin etc on my current template.

Update: Same problem on a bare install of Joomla 2.5.7 so its not a conflicting plugin.

Plus how do I add a custom task and get it to work? Like test:Display:1:display, I don't know where to put code for the event / task.

Thanks in advance for helpful responses! 😀

Hi,

So its working on admin but not on front ? if yes then try to disable SEF if you have it enabled, if this doesn't help then please send me a link to the connection through the "Contact Us" page.

Thanks Max for your time, I tried it with SEF ON and OFF before, even on bare joomla 2.5.7 install, same problem. Would have sent you a link but the site is not online yet - still under development. This being one of the reasons its not yet online actually.

You could please try it on a bare Joomla install, the latest version of Chronoconnectivity is what I am using. I am surprised no one else has reported this or maybe its just me with the problem. If you can't reproduce the error on your system then I will do a more thorough search for a fix on my system (I kinda doubt its my system though).

Thanks in advance 😛 :wink:

After much waiting... Had to dig in myself so here's the solution, like I said earlier - its a bug!

In your_joomla_root/components/com_chronoconnectivity/views/toolbar.php

change the line that looks like this:

$task = ($connection->main_tasks[$button_details[0]] == 'binary_data') ? "binary&fld=".$button_details[3] : $connection->main_tasks[$button_details[0]];

TO

$task = ($connection->main_tasks[$button_details[0]] == 'cc_binary_data') ? "cc_binary_data&fld=".$button_details[3] : $connection->main_tasks[$button_details[0]];

That's the fix.

Big ups from Nigeria.

Hi,

Sorry for not responding sooner, but maybe I would not be able to find it that quick, thanks so much for the fix!🙂

You are very welcome Max, you have done all the work already, it's our duty when we can to support you a little in areas such as this in gratitude.

Have a great day!

Another bug fix in toolbar.php.

Wanted to know how to use custom tasks, well I figured it out (been having a hell of a time ever since today) but the bug in toolbar.php will not let it work - showing a blank screen instead - backend works just fine.

So here is the fix:

Change the line that looks like this:
$toolBar->appendButton('Standard', $button_details[0], $button_details[1], "custom&fn=".$button_details[0], $required);

TO THIS:

$toolBar->appendButton('Standard', $button_details[0], $button_details[1], $button_details[0], $required);

Max please take note and add to new chronoconnectivity update if possible.

Thank you again!🙂

Yes, fixes applied here, actually the changes are already there in the admin area, but since that I didn't test binary or custom tasks toolbar buttons on the frontend for some time, I forgot to add them to the latest release 😲

Best regards,
Max

Hmmm... found out that this bug is still (or again?) existing in CC - 4.0 RC3.2 which I downloaded on 26-10-2013.
