The Basic Meeting List Toolbox

First, you need to know that this is only possible with Root Server version 2.1.3 or greater. It relies on a capability that was added in that release.

What we will do here, is take the table-based search we did in Example 1, and add a format legend to it.

The new capability makes it so that we can get just the formats used for the table, not the whole damn shooting match.

That’s cool with a kapital “K.”

This is the syntax for the new call:

You can now append the criteria that you used for the search to the

call (It used to be the only valid parameter was

). Now, if you add the extra search parameters to the URI, you will get just the formats used in the meetings returned by that search.

The entire code for this page is:

<table id="lhv_demo_layout_table_4">
    <tr>
        <td class="legend_td">[[bmlt_simple(1339674838##-##switcher=GetFormats&services=1045)]]</td>
        <td class="results_td">[[bmlt_simple(1339674838##-##switcher=GetSearchResults&services=1045)]]</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Let’s see what we get for that:

This is nice, but that format legend is a bit too obtrusive. Why don’t we hide the full descriptions, and just leave the short names up there? I’ll also normalize the font, and make it smaller.
