Refresh Detail grid after Insert using Tri-Part Button

In PHPRunner, if you want to refresh the child table in a Master-Detail relationship after inserting a record, you typically need to use JavaScript or AJAX to update the child table without reloading the entire page.

Here's a general approach to achieve this:

1. Insert the Record: Ensure that you have the code to insert the record in place. This is usually done in the BeforeInsert event or a similar event in PHPRunner.

   
   

2. JavaScript to Refresh the Child Table: After successfully inserting the record, you can use JavaScript to refresh the child table. You might need to call a specific function that refreshes the detail view.

   
   

3. Use AJAX to Refresh: You can make an AJAX call to fetch the updated child records. This can be done by calling a server-side script that retrieves the child records and returns them in a format that can be displayed (like HTML or JSON).

   
   

4. Example Implementation: Here’s a simple outline of how you can implement this:

   • After inserting the record, use echo in the PHP code to send a JavaScript snippet that will refresh the child table.
   
   

   // In your AfterInsert event
   echo "<script>
    // Assume 'refreshChildTable' is a JavaScript function that fetches and updates the child table
    refreshChildTable();
   </script>";
   You would then define the refreshChildTable function in your JavaScript:
   
   function refreshChildTable() {
    // Use AJAX to fetch updated child records
    $.ajax({
    url: 'fetch_child_records.php', // This should be the script that fetches the child records
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(data) {
    // Assuming 'childTableContainer' is the ID of the div/table where child records are displayed
    $('#childTableContainer').html(data);
    },
    error: function() {
    alert('Failed to refresh child table');
    }
    });
   }
   

5. Fetch Child Records Script: Create a PHP script (e.g., fetch_child_records.php) that queries the database for the child records related to the master record and returns the appropriate HTML or JSON.

   
   

6. Testing: After implementing the above code, make sure to test the functionality to ensure that the child records are being refreshed correctly after a new record is inserted in the master table.

   
   

Make sure to adjust the code snippets to fit your specific application structure and naming conventions.
