Conditional rich:effect

[bruno.arruda]

Hi ppl,

I need some help, I have this commandlink with a effect to show a panel with the effect "Apear". :

 <a4j:commandLink action="{testmb.test}" value="Show">
 <rich:effect event="oncomplete" targetId="test" type="Appear" />
 </a4j:commandLink>

 <rich:panel id="test" style="display:none;">
 Text test text test
 </rich:panel>

On testmb test() I do some logic, and I want the effect only executes if a certain condition is met. I tried somethings but I couldn´t do it, do you guys have any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards

you can use effect as a function by defining the 'name' attribute instead of attaching by 'event' attribute. After that you can invoke this function from 'oncomplete' of the a4j:commandLink explicitly only if the conditions are met.

Probably, the other way is using callback function of the effect itself and invoke this.event.cancel(), but I did not try it by myself yet.

thanks Sergey.

I was able to do it, here comes the code for those with this interesting:

 <a4j:commandLink action="#{test.changeCompleted}" oncomplete="if (#{test.completed}==true) showDiv();" value="Show4444" />

 <input type="button" onclick="showDiv()" value="Show" />

 <rich:effect name="showDiv" for="test" type="Appear" />
