UriCell with the href = value of the column

[kim2014]

Hi All, I defined one of the cell in my backgrid as Backgrid.UriCell and the href has the value of the column and I want to change the href of the column but don't know how. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Kim

Why would you want to change the href to a different value from the model? Do you mean changing the display value?

I want to have display value (Title) different from href. For example I have the sessionId = 'My123456' so the display value is 'My123456' but I want to have my href value is 'user/session/My12345'. Can I have override render function for UriCell? If so where I can place this override render function. Should I have this render in the model? Thanks, Kim

Yes, Would like to display value different from href value. For example the display is “session1234” but would like to have the href value as “userId/session/session1234” so when the user clicks on this UriCell the page will display for “userId/session/session1234”. Where should I place this render function:

render: function () {

this.super.render.apply(this, arguments):

this.$('a').attr({'href': 'whateveruwant'});

return this;

};

Thanks Joanne

First of all, the session ID should never appear in the URL for security reasons.

If you must, you need to subclass a UriCell

var MyUriCell = Backgrid.UriCell.extend({
  render: function () {
    this.constructor.__super__.render.apply(this, arguments);
    this.$("a").attr({href: "yourURI"});
    return this;
  }
});

It didn't work for me. I added this code in my model.js and then use subclass App.Cells.CustomUriCell in the view but it didn't work Note: I had backbonejs’ version 1.1.0.

Ok. You need to stop cross-posting.

I just edited my answer.
