1: Listbuilder Bulk Actions with additional form value
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on 12/31/05 10:28 AM
I have a listbuilder list. This has bulk actions which allow me to select files to create tasks for each of the files (just like folder_chunk does with moving files around).

What I need though is to give an estimate, how long each task (that is generated for each selected file in the bulk action) is going to take. This means I need to have a column in the listbuilder which allows me to put form values into it and have them transfered to the bulk action page.

How do I do this? Should I manually set the input boxes in the display_template part and hope that it will be transfered as values to the next page ?

When you define some bulk actions listbuilder automatically creates a form so as to manage the check boxes.

If you add a column containing an input form field, this will be sent as usual to the next page: just add it to the corresponding ad_page_contract with the 'multiple' flag and you are done.
