dear friends,
I have a simple question:
how can I add a simple button in toolbar tasks that directly edit a binary field from 0 to 1 in a selected record? I found documentation about _DELETE_, _EDIT_, _NEW_ but nothing about a binary modification.. please if possibile I just want to change a field called input_status from 1 to 0 directly from a toolbar button on the selected records.
Sorry for my poor english
thank you

Hello,

this is explained in the help string below the toolbar buttons field:

_BINARY_:Publish/Unpublish:1:Comment.published

where "Comment.published" is the MODEL.field

Hi admin and thank you for your reply but I'm totaly noob and I can't figure out from this, so please tell me if in my database table the binary field that I want to change with a toolbar button is "input_status" I will have to modify the string in this way

_BINARY_:Publish/Unpublish:1:input_status

right?
but obviously this is not working..sorry for my inexperience and please tell me the right way to customize this string.
thank you

Hi,

This string is correct:

_BINARY_:Publish/Unpublish:1:input_status

But if you have a Model id then you have to add it before the table's column name:

_BINARY_:Publish/Unpublish:1:MODEL.input_status

How do you know it doesn't work ? what about the other toolbar buttons ? do they work fine ?

Hi Max

I tried your solution and it works only if you change the state from 0 to 1, not from 1 to 0

dont you know where is the problem?

thx

Hi,

It should work in all cases assuming that you have the latest versions and everything is setup correctly.

Do you need to do the switch through a toolbar button ? you can do it through the "binary fields" list.

You may also contact me through the "contact us" page to test this on CCv5, its better but has a different interface.

Hi Max,

I tried it with binary field, but with same result. If field has 0 and I click on then it changes to 1. but from 1 to 0 it doesnt works.

thx

thx max and sorry for my late answer but I still cannot figure out from this.. I have configured the right string and I don't have any model ID but when I check a box for use a toolbar button I always receive a message " You have to to check a record from the list" like in the attached immage..Delete and new buttons are working as well.
Any suggest?
