Facility Control

Hi Guys

I have added a dropdown and a load button reading from an XML

It was all working perfectly, it still loads the data but when I click on a team name, the dropdown says "Nothing" I have added a picture.

Any help would be great 

It looks like the IDs might not be getting created properly... can your script (the final version you used) and a snippet from your XML?

Hi James

Iv attached some images. Iv attached an image of the dropdown parameter values. I have also attached the panel code and my XML.

[ATTACH]n12585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]n12586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]n12586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]n12586[/ATTACH] I was not sure what bit of script you wanted. Every time I hit the load button named "Home" or "Away" or "Load match 1" It reverts to "Nothing" and I cannot select any data.

Okay. The problem is that you are using an INT_CHOICE_CONSTRAINT when your data has name-based IDs. If you look at your screenshot, all of your numeric values (the actual value of the parameter) are being set to "0" because "Sothern Ham", "North", "East", and "West" are not numbers...

2 ways around this:
Switch your parameter from an INT16 to a STRING and switch from INT_CHOICE to STRING_STRING_CHOICE for your constraint.

var xmlDocument = ogscript.parseXML('teamdata.xml');         //Parse the XML
var nodeList = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("team"); //Get the tags we want to include in the constraint

var constraintData = [];   //Placeholder for the new constraint data

if (constraintData.length == 0)  //Placeholder if we don't have anything (OPTIONAL)
{
   constraintData.push({"key": " ", "value": "Nothing"});
}

for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++)           //Loop through each tag we found
{
   var node = nodeList.item(i);                          //Get the node
   constraintData.push({"key": node.getAttribute("AID"), "value": node.getAttribute("AID")});  //Push the key/value pair
}


var constraint = params.createStringStringChoiceConstraint(constraintData);   //Create the constraint
params.replaceConstraint("a.tickerlogo", constraint);         //Replace the constraint

OR

Only put the names in the array and let DashBoard auto-generate the numbers (not as good if your list ever changes/reorders)

var xmlDocument = ogscript.parseXML('teamdata.xml');         //Parse the XML
var nodeList = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("team"); //Get the tags we want to include in the constraint

var constraintData = [];   //Placeholder for the new constraint data

if (constraintData.length == 0)  //Placeholder if we don't have anything (OPTIONAL)
{
   constraintData.push("Nothing");
}

for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++)           //Loop through each tag we found
{
   var node = nodeList.item(i);                          //Get the node
   constraintData.push(node.getAttribute("AID"));  //Push the key/value pair
}


var constraint = params.createIntChoiceConstraint(constraintData);   //Create the constraint
params.replaceConstraint("a.tickerlogo", constraint);         //Replace the constraint

A copy of the panel with "ticker logo" switched to a STRING_STRING_CHOICE

Hi James, thank you very much. I will give this a go.

Hi James

I do not quite understand where I need to change it to a string in the parameters. While keeping it a dropdown. I have attached a screenshot, nor string or string array allow me to keep the dropdown 

#DashBoard

Once you select STRING, you should be able to select String Key/Value constraint to get the dropdown list option back.

Hi James

That's done the trick.

Thanks million

Hi James

Unfortunately it seems as though I can only select the first name on my dropdown. I have attached screenshots to help my explanation.
