[Cartoweb-users] multiple Delete Button editplugin

[Oliver Christen]

the map_xxxx is the id of the dhtml feature in javascript: dShape.id
see dhtmlAPI.js, line 1348 or so, thats where the confirm message is generated.
to get the layer, I suppose you can do something like xGetElementById('edit_layer').value (though it seems you have to add an id="edit_layer" in the template, there is only a name= tag at the moment.)
and as for the id, if you only want the numeric part, simply use the javascript substr

regards
Oliver

  Hey
  When you attempt to delete, you get a popup window 'Are you sure? map_xxxx', where xxx is the id of the feature to be deleted. I want to change this message so it is more meaningful to my users. I want something like ' Are you sure you want to delete 'layername_featurename ?' I have changed the first part but i cant find where to change map_xxxx from!
  Thank you for your help.

    Hi

    deleting a feature is a complex action and emulating it would be fairly complex, even I wouldnt want to touch that.

    if you really really want to do it, the functions called on delete is DeleteFeatureTool.prototype.onMouseDown in dhtmlAPI.js
    but I have no idea what you need to copy or modify so you can call it with a clic on a button instead of a clic on the map, sorry.

    regards
    Oliver

      In my edit plugin i want to include a tickboxes (similar to radio buttons). The purpose of these tick boxes is that i should do multiple selection of features and then delete them all at once. What part of code do i need to change so that by clicking on these tick boxes the edit rows are crossed out and then i have a button (delete_all).
      Thank you
