Hi I was wondering if the (Example: Display SelectList selections in a TextArea) in the ‘how to section’ could be implemented to gather selected items data from several different pages, rather than just one as shown in the example, then displayed together on one summary page, similar to a checkout page after items have been purchased?

Hello!!! anybody there?

Hi,

I was modifying the example and achieve what you’re asking. First, you should add the screens that will have the Select Lists, and adds the buttons to permits navigate beetwen them and the last screen should go to summarize screen.

Then modify the summarize function: Receive the name of a list and return the selected items.

function summarize(namelist) {
  var summary = "";

  //multiple select list: get selected items as array
  $('select[name='+namelist+'] :selected').each(
     function(i, selected) {
       summary += $(selected).text() + "::" + $(selected).val() + "\n";
   });

   return summary;
}

Then add and modify some code on the phoneui.prePageTransition function:

phoneui.prePageTransition = function(currentPageId,targetPageId) {
  // add custom pre-transition code here
  // return false to terminate transition
  
  if (currentPageId == '#m1-list') {
    var summarytext = "";
    summarytext += summarize("list1"); //note that this is sending a name of a list as parameter
    summarytext += summarize("homelist1"); //note that this is sending a name of a list as parameter
    $('#m1-summary-textArea1').text(summarytext); //after get all the selected items, put the text on textarea
  }
  
  return true;
}

Note that you should put the custom javascript code in the <firstPage>_custom.js file. Hope this is helpful for you.

Hi There,
I had tried without success to get the selected items to summerise, is there any way you can look at the app for me? I have spent days trying to get this to work. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t, very frustrating.

Regards

Hi Octavio, Thanks for your help I have it working correctly, can you now tell me how I can keep the summary screen visible whilst I use the ‘dial phone’ feature. This feature causes the app to close and forget the selected items. Thanks

Hi stickleback,

Is your app a native or webapp? Running on iOS or Android?

[Paul_paul]

Hi, It is a web app at the moment but I may require the same functions later in IOS and Android.
