Removing a Person Associated With a To-Do Item
We are now going to look at how to remove an association between a person and a to-do item.
Removing a Person from a To-Do Item
In the UI there is a little circle with an "x" in it that is used to remove a person from a task. Clicking this icon calls the uiRemovePersonFromToDo handler in the card script.
Update the uiRemovePersonFromToDo Command
Replace the empty uiRemovePersonFromTodo command in the card script with the following RevTalk code. After you insert the code we will go through the relevant parts.
----------
Copy & Paste The Following Code
----------
command uiRemovePersonFromTodo pPersonID
## Get selected to-do database id
put the uSelectedID of group "ToDo" into theToDoID
## Create SQL Record objects for person and to-do
put sqlrecord_createObject("people") into thePersonA
put sqlrecord_createObject("todo_items") into theToDoA
## Just set the fields that are used to link records together
sqlrecord_set thePersonA, "id", pPersonID
sqlrecord_set theToDoA, "id", theToDoID
sqlrecord_unlink thePersonA, theToDoA
put the result into theError
if theError is empty then
## Refresh list
RefreshToDoList
end if
if theError is not empty then
answer "Error removing person from to-do item:" && theError & "."
end if
end uiRemovePersonFromTodo
Removing the Link Between Two Database Records
Removing the associated between two records is just as easy as associating two records. The only difference is that you call sqlrecord_unlink rather than sqlrecord_link.
Since the only errors that can be thrown when deleting an existing record are ones we are interested in knowing about there is no need to wrap the call in a try/catch block like we did for sqlrecord_link.
Test the UI
Click on the "x" next to New Person to trigger the uiRemovePersonFromTodo command.
The to-do list will refresh and you will see that the to-do item is no longer associated with New Person.
Verify in the Database
If you look at the records in the people_todo table you will see that there are no longer any.
