Server side components question

The code provided with the PRO version for dynamic creation of tree menu is great. I have a question though. When the user clicks on a node of the tree menu in a browser, I want to be able to find out which row in the database that node corresponds to, i.e., the primary key column value in the database. I can't rely on the caption, since it may not be unique.

During the dynamic creation of the tree menu, is there a way to stick the primary key value into each tree item somehow so that it can be used when the user clicks on the tree item?

Thanks,
Brian Barnett

Yes, it's not a big issue. You need to modify build_hierarchy function (items.php), instead section
...
echo " ['$row[$cfn]', \"javascript:linkCheck('$clink')\", ";
if($id == 0) echo "{'st':1}";
else echo "0";
build_hierarchy($cid, $vn, $tn, $idfn, $pidfn, $cfn, $lfn);
echo ']';
...

use something like:

...
echo "['$row[$cfn]', \"javascript:linkCheck('$clink')\", {'myDBid':$primaryKey}";
build_hierarchy($cid, $vn, $tn, $idfn, $pidfn, $cfn, $lfn);
echo ']';
...

Note that items get IDs ('myDBid') in the item scope settings. To read the item ID via javascript try:
...
var my_DB_id = o_item.a_config[2]['myDBid'];
//where o_item - tree_item object
...
