OpenToken Shortcuts See also: OpenToken Parsing

If your modules admin-configurable fields already support OpenTokens, then why not add the Token Shortcut Selection boxes to your admin screens?!?! Here's how...

Just stick these functions anywhere in your module:

<MvFUNCTION NAME = "InsertToken_Macro" PARAMETERS = "" STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.Merchant_Version LT 4.14 }">

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mv'}" NAME = "l.ok" VALUE = "{ OUI_Open_Store() }">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ l.ok }">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.OUIX_Module_Version GE 4.66 }">

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mv'}" NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ InsertToken_Macro() }">

</MvIF>

</MvIF>

<MvELSE>

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mvc'}" NAME = "l.ok" VALUE = "{ OUI_Open_Store() }">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ l.ok }">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.OUIX_Module_Version GE 4.83 }">

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mvc'}" NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ InsertToken_Macro() }">

</MvIF>

</MvIF>

</MvIF>

<MvFUNCRETURN VALUE = "">

</MvFUNCTION>

<MvFUNCTION NAME = "TokenSel_Macro" PARAMETERS = "field" STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.Merchant_Version LT 4.14 }">

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.OUIX_Module_Version GE 4.66 }">

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mv'}" NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ TokenSel_Macro(l.field) }">

</MvIF>

<MvELSE>

<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.OUIX_Module_Version GE 4.83 }">

<MvDO FILE = "{g.Module_Root $ 'modules/ui/oui.mvc'}" NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ TokenSel_Macro(l.field) }">

</MvIF>

</MvIF>

<MvFUNCRETURN VALUE = "">

</MvFUNCTION>

Then, add this code at the top of your "tab" (or screen):

<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ InsertToken_Macro() }">

That's the setup. Now, all you have to do is right above each input "field" (or text area), just add this line:

<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.trash" VALUE = "{ TokenSel_Macro('fieldname') }">

Just replace fieldname with the name of the input field. That's all there is to it.
