Overwrite views

Hello,

i've a problem with views.
I've a script, witch go to all views from a module, load them, change something and save the view.
The problem is, at the end of the loop all views display the same. I realy dont know why. When I use my script only with one view it works fine, but when i use the loop for all views all views display the setting from the last view (of the loop).
Anyone an idea?

string s
for s in views matrixModule do {
load view s;
/*
do something (different for each view)
*/
save view s;
}

Hi,

I've encountered the same problem.

Please could you let me know what you determined the problem to be, and how you fixed it?
Cheers.

Try taking care of the current module.

current = ...
load view ... 
 
// do stuff
 
current = ...
save view ...

If that does not work, you need to post relevant parts of your code. Regards, Mathias

Thanks Mathias- that seems to have worked.

All I changed was adding a second 'current = m' before the save.

for sViewName in views m do
{
    current = m 
        vView = view (sViewName)
        load(m,vView)
 
        if (sViewName == "Targets View")
        {
                set(vView, rmcda, "DB Admins")
                set(vView, r, null)                     
        }
 
        current = m  // Setting current module AGAIN here, cured the problem
        save(vView)
}

Don't understand WHY this causes the views to acquire all the same settings though(?)

The previous view may have layouts or attr-DXL that open other modules.

Well if your current module changed, then the view will be saved to a different module. However you should notice that to change access rights on a view, you probably do NOT need to load and save the view. Regards, Mathias
