Problem hiding tabs at runtime Web 7.5.4

[ToddHardin]

Great analysis on the execution ordering Kris.

It has frustrated me in solution designs that the Page modules only fire on Record Change, customers often find it awkard that they have changed a data value on screen that in their expection should now result in a specific tab being made available. Some find it frustrating that even after saving the record with that new value, the tab is not availbale until they navigate away from record and back again.

It would improve our solutions if we had a bit more flexibility in when the Show/Hide code could be executed.

Is this still the best approach in v8.0?

[kristazio]

Yes, I think the module approach is still the only way.

It does not seem to work with the "Reseller Opportunities" tab in v8.0. 

Is a JS solution possible? I noticed sage-platform-tabworkspace.js in the jscript folder.

Hi Mike, I have created this as an external DDL (C#)  and complied. I tried adding the dll in as a "Business Rule" in AA to the entity....when I select the DLL in the "Class Browser" in AA nothing comes up to select from the DLL....is this the correct spot to load this DLL?

Thanks,

Derek

Put your DLL in the SupportFiles\Bin folder in the SlxClient portal.

Next, a reference to the DLL should be added as a "module" to the Portal Page where you want the Show/Hide behaviour.

In AA, edit the Portal Page, look for a tab that has a list of "modules", add your module there.

I have not found time to confirm that the "Reseller Opportunities" tab is not Showing/Hiding in SLX v8.0

Has anyone else experienced this and can confirm that it does *NOT* appear to be working?

I tested it using demo.sagesaleslogixcloud.com (user: lee, pwd: password) using Firefox and Chrome. The Reseller Oppty tab does not hide for Account Type <> Partner.

Hi Todd, thanks!....I re-read the posting and your post as well....I now have it working...do you know is there a way to force a page refresh when the pick list is changed and the tab should be displayed?

Thanks

Derek

You would need to do a save and then a response.redirect to refresh the page when the picklist changes.  A bit of overkill to have to reload the entire client to get a tab to change.
