I just watched the video for "Delete Records" with Server Connect and what is still missing, is a confirmation routine before you actually delete something from your database. This is a MUST of obvious resons!
Whenever you set an action with such a permanent effect, there should be a question like "are you sure?" with a possibility to cancel the operation. Maybe I did not get the whole picture, because I only watched the video so far. So, please let us know how to achieve this safety routine.

Hi Greta,
The video shows some basic functionality.
If you want to extend this, you could just add two more buttons, inside a span/div [Are you sure: Yes | No] and apply the delete action executor to the Yes button.

So you could apply a show/hide container behavior to the Delete button which:
1. Shows the [Are you sure: Yes | No] span/div and hides the Delete button container.
2. Apply a show/hide behavior to the No button, which hides the [Are you sure: Yes | No] span/div and shows the Delete button container.

Hi Teodor,
thank you for your quick reply. Yes, your description certainly is a good idea. (I assume you mean "Delete button" when you write "Download button"
I was hoping for a "ready-made" routine, this time though; something without having to fiddle around with show/hide behaviours.
Because DMX once offered an extension which does not work anymore. (Cannot remember its name, but was quite useful to confirm such things)

Oh, sorry, my bad - indeed i mean the Delete button.
I will discuss your idea with the developers, so they can update the extension and make it Serve Connect compatible!

Great, thank you

The Extension's name was Popup Confirm Message. (PopUpConfirmMsg) ...

I was searching for this functionality also. Any development?

I use a workaround on using "Button Collapse" from dmx's "Bootstrap3 Components". I trigger it with a Collapse Button called "Delete".

Clicking it will open the area which contains two more buttons: Confirm Delete and Cancel. The Confirm Delete Button triggers the actual delete process.This seems to be the most elegant workaround.

Greta; Thanks so much. I have tried this simple method but the delete action does not run after OK button pressed.

I will go with the Button Collapse method if I can't get this going but in general is it possible to reference a dmx action in this way?

<input name="frmdelete" type="button" id="frmdelete" onClick= "confirmDelete()" value="delete record">


<script>
function confirmDelete() {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?") {
"dmxServerActionControl('run','namedeleteexec',{&quot;vrbldelete&quot;: &quot;{{@id}}&quot;},this)" ;
} else {
false;
}
}
</script>

Yes it is! But you need send the record ID with the confirmDelete({{@id}})

and then:
<script>
function confirmDelete(delID) {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this?" {
"dmxServerActionControl('run','namedeleteexec',{'vrbldelete': delID},this)" ;
} else {
false;
}
}
</script>
Works perfect!
