I want to see a list of available variables I can use here or there. What specifically brought me to this question were File Size error messages and a Date Format error messages that are vague and nondescript. I know I can change the wording, which helps, but I'd like to use the cool variables like "Are you sure you want to delete %n records" in the rest of my error messages. Does anybody know how to use these cool variables?

Hello, I'm tying to improve my app's error messages using Localizations. I see on some error messages there are variables or parameters that provide the user with some very valuable information. Value cannot be shorter than %s characters. Value cannot be larger than %n characters. Are you sure you want to delete %n records. %p authorization failed. Cannot redirect to %p etc. Does anybody know how to use these, or where I can find a list of the variables we can use and how to? Thanks and ThinkEZ

Thanks! Those are good options. I ended up using a workaround using ABSOLUTE. Substring([@field:ScratchPad], Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad], Charindex('Passport Date of Issue: ',[@field:ScratchPad]) ) + 2, Abs( Charindex('===',[@field:ScratchPad], Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad], Charindex('Passport Date of Issue: ',[@field:ScratchPad]) ) ) - Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad], Charindex('Passport Date of Issue: ',[@field:ScratchPad]) ) - 2 ) )

Hi, I'm stumped. This code works Substring([@field:ScratchPad],Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad])) + 2,Charindex(' ======',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad]))) - Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad])) + 2) This code breaks with only a minor adjustment: changing + to - at the very end Substring([@field:ScratchPad],Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad])) + 2,Charindex(' ======',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad]))) - Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad])) - 2) This code is a substring in example two that works until I add it to the code above Charindex(' ======',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad]))) - Charindex(': ',[@field:ScratchPad],Charindex('Departure Airport: ',[@field:ScratchPad])) - 2 Any help will be appreciated

Hi @abelphathost, Thanks for the message, but let's not ask questions privately.... the point of a forum is for people to find that somebody else has already asked the same question. A couple things to note 1 - I've had trouble using JS and Caspio's checkboxes. Dropdowns are easier to work with. 2 - I never use 'onsubmit'. Rather i create a fake submit button that runs that code I need before the submit happens then wrap the function with: document.getElementById("Submit").click() ** If you must have something easier than a dropdown... This takes some work, but will allow you to do it. HTML block <style> #YOUR_FIELD_ID {display: none} .fake-radio { width: 120px; height: 50px; padding: 16px; margin: 16px 0 0 32px; font-size: 18px; float: left; } </style> <div class="fake-radio" onclick="document.getElementsByName('YOUR_FIELD_ID')[0].value = 'Yes';>Yes</div> <div class="fake-radio" onclick="document.getElementsByName('InsertRecordFieldName')[0].value = 'No';>No</div> YOUR_FIELD_ID 1. right click the field you want to populate > inspect 2. Look for <xx class="sample" id="XYZ_98sd7d" name="InsertRecordYOURFIELDNAME">Hi World</xx> 3. your answer is InsertRecordYOURFIELDNAME Try these suggestions and I'm sure you'll find your solution

Hi @TWIRED, Thanks for your message. Let's do it out here so everybody can see the Q&A. Your path looks good. Two things to check. If it was working, then stopped... check to make sure the DataPage you're sharing these images from DOES NOT require authentication. (something it may not have required when it worked) I also notice your Account Subdomain [Caspio account settings > c2eku***.caspio.com] in use as the domain. I use my Caspio Site [Caspio account settings > b5.caspio.com] as the bdomain for this link. Hope this helps

Email clients don't like style tags, so we must use inline styles. <span style="display: none[@param1]">[@param1]</span> If Param1 = null, then style="display: none" will render normally, thus hiding the span. If it's not null then it will be something that doesn't compute... like style="display: noneABCD", which won't hide the span

This caused problems for me.... found a workaround #caspioform div[style="position: relative"] { height: 0px; }

Try making the first page a user begins this process on a submission form that will alert the user when they're adding the duplicate record BEFORE any auto-submitting. I can't tell for sure, but it seems like you're passing params from one DP to the next in order to add multiple records. Then along the way, a non-unique error pops up and a loop ensues. Ensure this error prevents the user from proceeding by moving the unique record to the beginning. You can also add code to the Localization Error message.

Cascading fields. They're easy to figure out, as long as you know that's what you need.

HTML Block *You must use a div - not an a tag. Caspio's HTML editor doesn't allow you to have divs inside an a tag. <div onclick="location.assign('yourLink.html');"> <div class="field-1">[@field:DataSourceField1]</div> <div class="field-2">[@field:DataSourceField2]</div> <div class="field-3">[@field:DataSourceField3]</div> </div>

Create HTML Blocks for each error message you'd like to display. Then use the "Rules" tab to show/hide these blocks.
