Sending additional parameters to editurl on JQgrid

Question

Hello again,

My problem now is trying to send the ID (editable: false) of a row when editing that row.

For example, i have a grid with columns userid(editable: false), username(editable: true), firstname(editable: true), lastname(editable: true). When editing the row the grid is only sending the parameters username, firstname and lastname. In the server side i need the userid to know to which user i've tu apply those new values.

the editUrl looks like:

editurl : CONTEXT_PATH+'/ajax/admin/savePart.do?category=1',

Thanks

This is the full code:

$.jgrid.useJSON = true;
//http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki%3Acommon_rules
$(document).ready(function() {
    //alert(CONTEXT_PATH);
    var lastsel;
    jQuery("#rowed3").jqGrid(
            {
                url : CONTEXT_PATH+'/ajax/getPartesByCategory.do?catid=<s:property value="categoryId" />',
                //url : '/autoWEB/text.html',
                datatype: "json",

                        jQuery('#rowed3').jqGrid('restoreRow', lastsel);
                        jQuery('#rowed3').jqGrid('editRow', id, true);
                        lastsel = id;
                    }
                },

                caption : "Piezas"
            });
    jQuery("#rowed3").jqGrid('navGrid', "#prowed3", {
        edit : false,
        add : false,
        del : false
    });
})

Answer 1

You can use

hidden: true, editable: true, editrules: { edithidden: false }, hidedlg: true

in the definition of the piezaId (ID) column. The parameter hidedlg is currently not real needed, but can be useful if you decide the use other jqGrid features.

Answer 2

in your onSelectRow callback, you can modify the editUrl to be whatever you want, including passing in the ID you need.

$("#rowed3").jqGrid('setGridParam', {editurl:'whatever/url/you/need/with/the/id'});

jqGrid will add all the other nececessary params to that editurl for you.
