ad_dimensional

ad_dimensional option_list [ url ] [ options_set ] [ optionstype ]

Defined in packages/acs-core/table-display-procs.tcl

Generate an option bar as in the ticket system;

• option_list -- the structure with the option data provided
• url -- url target for select (if blank we set it to ns_conn url).
• options_set -- if not provided defaults to [ns_getform], for hilite of selected options.
• optionstype -- only url is used now, was thinking about extending so we get radio buttons and a form since with a slow select updating one thing at a time would be stupid.

option_list structure is

    { 
        {variable "Title" defaultvalue
            {
                {value "Text" {key clause}}
                ...
            }
        }
        ...
    }

    an example:

    set dimensional_list {
        {visited "Last Visit" 1w {
            {never "Never" {where "last_visit is null"}}
            {1m "Last Month" {where "last_visit + 30 > sysdate"}}
            {1w "Last Week" {where "last_visit + 7 > sysdate"}}
            {1d "Today" {where "last_visit > trunc(sysdate)"}}
        }}
        ..(more of the same)..
    }
    

Parameters:

url (optional)
