Query Parameters

The plug-in dynamic action upload parameters and image browser parameters enables developer to specify custom query parameters computed on the fly using anonymous JavaScript function.

Dynamic Action pre-requisites

The guidelines describing dynamic action configuration (dynamic action event, triggering element and affected elements) are described in parent document Configuration.

Upload Parameters

The action uses a developer-specified anonymous JavaScript function returning custom upload query parameters used by a RESTful image upload handler. A custom parameters are accessible in upload handler using PL/SQL bind variables.

Settings

Attribute	Type	Description
Action	Select list	Must be set to Upload Parameters
Function Returning JSON	JavaScript Code	An anonymous JavaScript function returning custom query parameters as JSON object.

Example

Example

The example describes sample application page Image Upload Parameters implementing custom upload query parameter named folder using dynamic action named Change Upload Parameters.

• The dynamic action is executed when any page item trigger the plug-in event UC Froala Before Initialization.
• The true action implements attribute Function Returning JSON computing folder query parameter value as page item P1220_UPLOAD_FOLDER currently selected value. The true action attribute affected elements narrows customization only to page item P1220_FROALA.
• The page item P1220_FROALA attribute Image Upload URL is used to reference sample REST handler uploadFolder. The uploadFolder handler reads query parameter using PL/SQL bind variable :folder.

• When custom upload parameters are not required to be dynamically computed, the page item standard attribute Initialization JavaScript Code can be used along with option imageuploadparams.
• Read about default query parameters here.
• Read about custom upload handler requirements here.
• Read about sample REST handlers here.

Function Returning JSON

The function only argument pUploadParams is JSON object describing plug-in default upload query parameters.

Example defining custom upload query parameter

function( pUploadParams ) {
  // create a new custom parameter
  pUploadParams.customParamName = 'customParamValue';
  return pUploadParams;  
}

The custom upload query parameter can be referenced in upload REST handler using bind variable :customParamName.

Initialization JavaScript Code

So far, the action upload parameters doesn't use a dynamic action attribute Initialization JavaScript Code.

Image Browser Parameters

The action image browser parameters uses a developer-specified anonymous JavaScript function returning custom browser query parameters used by a RESTful browse images handler. A custom parameters are accessible in the handler using PL/SQL bind variables.

Settings

Attribute	Type	Description
Action	Select list	Must be set to Image Browser Parameters
Function Returning JSON	JavaScript Code	An anonymous JavaScript function returning custom query parameters as JSON object.

Example

Example

The example describes sample application page Image Browse Parameters implementing custom browse query parameter named folder using dynamic action named Change Browse Parameters.

• The dynamic action is executed when any page item trigger the plug-in event UC Froala Before Initialization.
• The true action implements attribute Function Returning JSON computing folder query parameter value as page item P1210_UPLOAD_FOLDER currently selected value. The true action attribute affected elements narrows customization only to page item P1210_FROALA.
• The page item P1210_FROALA attribute Image Browse URL is used to reference sample REST handler browseFolder. The handler reads query parameter using PL/SQL bind variable :folder.

Function Returning JSON

The function only argument pUploadParams is JSON object describing plug-in default browse query parameters.

function( pBrowseImagesParams ) {
  pBrowseImagesParams.customParamName = 'customParamValue';
  return pBrowseImagesParams;
}

The custom browser query parameter can be referenced in browse REST handler using bind variable :customParamName.

Initialization JavaScript Code

So far, the action upload parameters doesn't use a dynamic action attribute Initialization JavaScript Code.
