How best to use two sources and name source when adding new
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 11:39 am
I'm using two sources on the calendar Pro, both are filemaker. I'm currently using the select source portal with existing script that sends the portal row as a parameter. I'm having two issues.
1. If I click the "New" button (new event) it always defaults to the Event Details window based on Source 1.
2. I'd rather not use the portal type selection of the source, as these users only care about seeing one source OR the other and not both sources together.
Questions:
1. Based on 1 & 2 above how can I best handle this.
2. If I limit the users to only viewing one source at a time (number 2 above), then I could pull which source was being used and branch to the correct Event details layout. This seems reasonable, but I'd like all the suggestions I can get!
3. What would be the best way to handle, lets say a drop down list of the sources? What scripts need to be touched, and what would change. I'm thinking adding a new global field to hold the selection and then have the scripts act on that data.
I need details, details!!
TIA,
Larry
