Poll Manager, how does the mechanism published/unpublished flag works?

[linpi]

hi,
i writing my first component taking com_poll as a example. In my admin interface (like the Poll Manager), I would like to modify a flag in the same way as the published/unpublished flag. I could see in the two files admin.poll.html.php and  admin.poll.php that this mechanism uses the javascript "listItemTask" and an array called "cid". After having clicked published/unpublished, this  array cid should be in a php Variable _REQUEST["cid"] and _POST["cid"]. In my component, either there is no php variable _REQUEST["cid"] or when it is there, the array has allways the value 0 instead the row number (id). What needs to be done, that this variable cid is transfered from admin.poll.html.php to admin.poll.php?
I'm using Joomla 1.0.13.
Thank you for some help, Pierre

Thank your for this great link!
Meanwhile I found the mistake I made. in admin.poll.html.php, the is the line
$checked = mosCommonHTML::CheckedOutProcessing( $row, $i );
and in the function CheckedOutProcessing there is $row->id. This didn't work for me because I didn't have a table field id.
thank you again, pierre

I gather you're writing for Joomla! 1.0 then, since you have mosCommonHTML.  The link above that I gave you is not applicable.  sorry about that.
