Any key

  • Default <prio>: FSRVD - Form / SIP / Record / Vars / Table definition.

  • Hint: Preferable, parameter should be submitted by SIP, not by Client (=URL).

    • Warning: Data submitted via ‘Client’ can be easily spoofed and altered.

    • Best: Data submitted via SIP never leaves the server, cannot be spoofed or altered by the user.

    • SIPs can _only_ be defined by using Report. Inside of Report use columns ‘Link’ (with attribute ‘s’), ‘page?’ or ‘Page?’.

Store: FORM - F

  • Sanitized: yes

  • Represents the values in the form, typically before saving them.

  • Used for:

    • FormElements which will be rerendered, after a parent FormElement has been changed by the user.

    • FormElement actions, before saving the form.

    • Values will be sanitized by the class configured in corresponding the FormElement. By default, the sanitize class is alnumx.

Name

Explanation

<FormElement name>

Name of native FormElement. To get, exactly and only, the specified FormElement (for ‘pId’): {{pId:F}}

Store: SIP - S

  • Sanitized: no

  • Filled automatically by creating links. E.g.:

    • in Report by using _page* or _link (with active ‘s’)

    • in Form by using subrecords: new, edit, delete links (system) or by column type _page*, _link.

Name

Explanation

sip

13 char uniqid

&<column name>

Name of a column of a previous fired SQL query, typically used by columns with a Special column names. Final value. Example: ‘{{link:R}}’ returns ‘p:home&form=Person|s|b:success|t:Edit’. Whereas ‘{{&link:R}}’ returns ‘<span class=”btn btn-success”><a href=”?home&s=badcaffee1234”>Edit</a></span>

Store: BEFORE - B

  • API: available:

    • by FormElement class ‘action’ with type ‘beforeSave’, ‘afterSave’, ‘beforeDelete’, ‘afterDelete’.

  • oidc… Variables

    • Only available if the T3 oidc… extension is installed.

Store: VARS - V

  • Sanitized: no

  • The store contains automatically filled QFQ values and optional custom values.

QFQ values

Name

Scope

Explanation

random

Always

Random string with length of 32 alphanum chars (lower & upper case). See {{random:V}}.

slaveId

FE any

See FormElement.parameter: slaveId

allRequiredGiven

Form

Form save - Set during check of all required FE. If every required FE is given: 1. Else: 0. If there is no required FE: 1. Even with formModeGlobal = requiredOff | requiredOffButMark the variable will be set.

filename

FE upload

Original filename of an uploaded file via an ‘upload’-FormElement. Valid only during processing of the current ‘upload’-formElement.

filenameOnly

FE upload

Like filename, but without path.

filenameBase

FE upload

Like filename, but without an optional extension. E.g. filename=’image.png’ comes to filenameBase=’image’

filenameExt

FE upload

Like filename, but only the optional extension. E.g. filename=’image.png’ comes to filenameExt=’png’

fileDestination

FE upload

Destination (path & filename) for an uploaded file. Defined in an ‘upload’-FormElement.parameter. Valid: same as ‘filename’.

fileSize

FE upload

Size of the uploaded file.

mimeType

FE upload

Mime type of the uploaded file.

{{random:V}}

  • Random string with length of 32 alphanum chars (lower & upper case).

  • The variable {{random:V}} is always filled.

  • Hint: QFQ variables will be replaced before a SQL statement is fired.

    • Each access gives a new value.

    • Execution of a SQL statement is one access - therefore SELECT '{{random:V}}' FROM Person will give the same random value for all Person.

    • Several SELECT ...{{random:V}}... will give several different random values.

  • Uniqueness is added via PHP function uniqid()

    • This just prepends 13 chars at the beginning of the random string.

    • uniqid() is only a very precise timestamp - timestamp means it becomes bigger and bigger and the first characters stays the same.

    • These first 13 chars should not be taken as random! They will make uniqness for {{random:V}} more likely.

Custom values (via fillStoreVar)

The directive fillStoreVar fills STORE_VARS with custom values:

# The values can be retrieved via `{{name:V}}` and `{{email:V}}`
fillStoreVar = {{! SELECT p.name, p.email FROM Person AS p WHERE p.id={{pId:S}} }}
  • fillStoreVar can be used in Form.parameter and FormElement.parameter.

  • If fillStoreVar is defined in Form and/or multiple FormElements:

    • Already existing variables with different names will be merged.

    • Already existing variables with same names will be overwritten by the latest definition.

Tip

Specify STORE_VARS explicit to avoid naming collision. E.g. {{person:V}} references cleary the STORE_VAR, instead {person}} uses the default FSRVD, where as STORE_VARS is late on position 4 and might be overwritten by STORE_FORM, STORE_SIP and STORE_RECORD.

Store: LDAP - L

  • Sanitized: yes

  • See also LDAP

Name

Explanation

<custom defined>

Store: USER - U

  • Sanitized: no

At start of a new browser session (=user calls the website the first time or was logged out before) the store is empty. As soon as a value is set in the store, it remains as long as the browser session is alive (=until user logs out).

Values can be set in report via ... AS "_=<var name>"
