Trying to use Liquid to filter a Webapp by another Webapps data

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:35:29 GMT

Here's the scenario. I have a customer who wants me to build a very simple task system for their employees, where the employer can assign HR related tasks to an employee. The employee would login and see only the tasks assigned to them.

I have a Webapp "Intranet - Employee" and another Webapp "Intranet - Employee Tasks". In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp, I have a field with the datasource linked to the Webapp "Intranet - Employee". I have an Secure Zone called "Intranet". I have a page in the Secure Zone titled "Intranet - "Employee".

On the page "Intranet - Employee", I have the following module using Liquid:

{module_webapps id="23727" filter="all" render="collection"}

In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp layout, I have the following:

<div class="intranet-task-list-item">

{% for item in items %}

<div class="name">{{item.name}}</div>

<div class="intro">{{item.['task intro']}}</div>

<div class="type">{{item.['task type']}}</div>

{%endfor%}

</div>

This works fine. It shows all of the tasks, not just the ones assigned to the logged in employee. Now I want to filter by the user that's logged in.

This module call gets the Item Id I want to filter by:

{module_webappscustomer id="23725" filter="all" useBackupTemplate="true"}

In the "Intranet - Employee" Webapp backup template, I have one tag: {tag_itemid}.

Now, how do I filter the second Webapp "Intranet - Employee Tasks" by the Item Id. Here's how I started, but it's not working:

On the page "Intranet - Employee":

{module_webapps id="23727" filter="all" render="collection" emplid="{{module_webappscustomer id="23725" filter="all" useBackupTemplate="true"}}"}

In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp layout, I have the following:

<div class="intranet-task-list-item">

{% for item in items %} {%if {{item.['employee_id']}} == this.params.emplid %}

<div class="name">{{item.name}}</div>

<div class="intro">{{item.['task intro']}}</div>

<div class="type">{{item.['task type']}}</div>

<div class="employee">{{item.['employee']}}</div>

<div class="employee id">{{item.['employee_id']}}</div>

<div class="testing for id">testingfor: {{params.emplid}}</div>

{%endif %} {%endfor%}

</div>

Is something like this possible? I've very new to Liquid, so maybe I'm missing something big. If I take out the if statement, I can see that the parameter gets passed to the layout. Also, if I pass a text variable, instead of using the module_webappscustomer ..., the if statement works. But, I cannot get them both the work together.

Do I need to assign a variable first? Is there a better way to link the two Webapps?

Thanks in advance for the help!
