Server Connect Loading

[otavionestares]

Hello Every one,

Is there a way to load a server connect only if all parameters are present?

For example, “home_id” parameter is coming from a input.

When the data is on the input, server connect loads automatically…but I would like to get rid of these 500 errors!

Any hint?

Thanks!

This is a workaround:

Server Connect With URL Params In Content Page Load

Nice idea this actually works for the page load aspect so there is no bad call at the start due to the params not yet been noticed however it still causes a bad call when switching pages at least if the condition is just something on the lines of checking if the url params are null. But if I add a page flow in the condition instead of a server connect it’s looking like this might be working thanks for the advice. For others who read this I essentially have a condition that checks all the url pa…

Is it a case where your server connect is running before your input is automatically populated with a value?

I had this problem as well. I solved it with a page flow and a wait. I have my serverconnect set to not autorun. With this page flow it waits a second and then runs the server connect. This gives the inputs/selects time to populate.

Thanks guys!! Will try to implement your suggestions!

@patrick @George @Teodor, do you think that could be a good improvement for Server Connect? Only load the SC if all parameters are present?

You can have a dynamic noload property for the SC:

<dmx-serverconnect id="sc_actionid" url="api/youraction" dmx-bind:noload="!(query.param1 && query.param2) ? 'noload' : '' "></dmx-serverconnect>

The ternary expression says that if NOT both param1 AND param2 are present, then add the noload property otherwise remove it and every change of a bound parameter will trigger the SC call.

I use it all the time and it is really effective
