10.2.8930: Bug in globals OpenEdit and ParseDuration due to windowManager introduction

Fri, 27 Jan 2017 11:47:26 +0000

Efficy 10.2 re-introduces the window manager to store and restore the size of opened windows. Related to these changes, two issues have been identified.

The patch code below can be applied to your 10.2 release to fix them:

One: Opening a second edit window for the same entity (e.g. appointment) is not possible. The focus is forwarded to the first opened window of the same entity. Below the fixed standard function.

function OpenEdit(Page, Entity, Key, Action, ExtraParam) {
    var URL = "edit?page=" + Page + "&entity=" + Entity + "&key=" + Key + "&action=" + EscapeName(Action)
    if (ExtraParam) URL += "&" + ExtraParam;
    if (Key === 0)
           Key = '0' + GetRandom();
    var wnd = OpenNewWindow('Edit' + Entity + Key, URL, 1014, 0, '', true);
    return wnd
}

Two: In some situations, the task duration was not correctly translated to a number.

Replace this code snippet in standard

function ParseDuration(val) {
                if (val == "") return 0

with

function ParseDuration(val) {
    // Only parse duration text, not number
    if (!isNaN(val)) return +val;
    if (val.trim() === '') return 0;

We will continue to use this category for future known issues
