Working with current student selection

Forums:

Ok, so I dug the following line out of some of the custom report bundle reports and I just can't get it to work for myself.
~[f.table_info;table=students;dothisfor=currentsel;fn=value;field=id;delim=cma]

I'm guessing it should output a comma delimited list of students.id for the students in my "current selection".

It simply doesn't seem to get translated. I've tried using it in a customSQL report within an "IN" condition(made sure I had a selection), and it just doesn't return anything (I made sure the selected students meet the rest of the query criteria).

I've tried pasting JUST the ~[f.table_info... tag into a custom page, and it just doesn't return anything (not even whitespace)...

I saw some x code: ~[x:GetDoThisForStudents] and added that to my page, and it still did not return anything.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

I want to remove this screen from the Custom Report Bundle. I have already uploaded the whole bundle, but this screen disables our state Special Program Enrollments screen. I want to remove the custom select students by hand. What are the steps I take to do this?

We have the bundle installed and this is not part of it. This customization is available on PowerSource. I would download the customization from there and then look at the pages that come with the download. Depending upon if you customize through Custom Page Manangement or through Custom webroot directly on your servers:
Navigate to the page(s) in CPM and delete the file. (If your district has further customized the custom page, you might want to save the file in a text file in case you decide to reinstall).
If using custom Webroot I would simply rename the custom webroot file on the server to something like OLDhandselect.
I don't have this customization installed so I can't detail the actual files to look for.
