Hi
I've written a custom view in Splunk6 that shows me search results as plain HTML content.
The simple xml view works and shows my html content when the page loads. But if I try to use form inputs such as a dropdown, the view doesn't update when I hit the submit button.
I've basically copy/pasted the examples from Splunk6 custom visualization examples, the code looks as follows:
following code gives me a dropdown with a list of splunk apps:
<fieldset autoRun="true">
<input type="dropdown" token="app_name" searchWhenChanged="false">
<label>Select an App:</label>
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="app" fieldForLabel="app">
<![CDATA[ | script python splunksvn -v ]]>
</populatingSearch>
</input>
[...]
</fieldset>
following code integrates my custom visualization:
[...]
<html>
<h2>local svn diff</h2>
<div id="htmlcontent-diffsearch"
class="splunk-manager splunk-searchmanager "
data-require="splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager"
data-options='{
"app": "subversion",
"preview": true,
"search": { "type": "token_safe", "value": "| script python splunksvn -c $app_name$}
}'>
</div>
<div id="htmlcontent-diff"
class="splunk-view"
data-require="app/subversion/components/htmlcontent/htmlcontent"
data-options='{
"managerid": "htmlcontent-diffsearch"
}'>
</div>
</html>
[...]
In my htmlcontent.js file I've basically just implemented the "updateView" function:
[...]
updateView: function(viz, data) {
var myResults = data[0]; // Sets this to the first (and only) row
this.$el.html(myResults);
}
[...]
I suspect that the "html" element in simple xml doesn't know anything about the submit action. But how can I tell my view to update?
Kind regards

Using double dollar signs for the token in the search string helped...
changing:
"search": { "type": "token_safe", "value": "| script python splunksvn -c $app_name$ }
to:
"search": { "type": "token_safe", "value": "| script python splunksvn -c $$app_name$$ }

Are you aware that your "value": "| script... doesn't have a closing quotation mark? Could that be the problem, or is it just a copy/paste artifact?

.. by the way, the code works with all ohter elements (such as table, chart, single). "html" seems to be the only element not reacting on form changes
