modify your artist.yml file to:

form_setup:<br />   works:<br />         class: OneToMany<br />         params:<br />           display_field: name<br />           table_fields: name, description

Thanks for the speedy reply jTaby! 😊

works: is under form_setup: when the error happens.  Here’s the complete code of artists.yml

db_table:artists
controller_name: CRUD
page_header: Artists

rules:
    name: required
    description: required

form_setup: 
    name:
        class: TextBox
    description:
        class: TextArea
    works:
        class: OneToMany
        params:
            display_field: name
            table_fields: name, description

Failed to mention.  The error is still there.

Sorry, I misread your original post.

The Table name missing error comes up when you have a malformed URL. Could you paste the URL when you get the error? Also, could you tell me what your table schema is so that I can see if I can recreate the problem?

The error is happening inside the OneToMany box after I click on the Add New link.

This is the URL on the address bar:
http://localhost/ci/backend.php/?c=crud&m=add&t=artists
This is the URL on the Add New Link:
http://localhost/ci/backend.php/?c=crud&m=add&t=artists#

As for the DB, i just have 2 tables, artists and works.  Works has artists_id in it.  They both have name, description etc; pretty basic stuff at the moment.

Thanks 😊

I’m new to codeExtinguisher, but I must say I’m impressed with the ease of use, and the way it enables me to wireframe applications quickly. Great job!

One question though: what would be the best approach if I wanted to have seperate user-accounts, each having their own contacts, products, etc?

Would I be creating a ManyToMany relationship between users and contacts, users and products, etc?

In Date when entering the box the jscalendar won’t shows up

I am also having this problem, but what I notice is the datepicker javascript is not loading in the header of my test file (it does load in the Example file).  I’m having trouble figuring out which function generates the header and why my test file wouldn’t load a header identical to the Example.

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in ../codex/application/plugins/onetomany.php on line 41

Can someone explain why I’m getting this error whenever I call the OTM plugin?

I can’t get ManyToMany to work properly.  I’m trying to make the two tables reference each other.  EI Artists and Exhibits.  They should both reference each other.  When I setup Artists to reference Exhibits it looks for artists_exhibits, which is fine, but when Exhibits tries to reference Artists it looks for exhibits_artists which can’t work for me.  They both have to look for the same table. Cake does it properly by arranging the table names alphabetically so regardless of which table is referencing which, the ManyToMany table will always be artists_exhibits.

Hello jTabby,
I found another problem with dbdropdown.
I want to filter my dbdropdown with my session or something else, when I try to modify the plugin i can’t get the result like I want to. How to do the filter in dbdropdown ?

Hey guys, as you might have realized from another thread, i’m really busy with school (last month of the semester =\), so I haven’t actually had time to work on codex in a while, I apologize. (If you want to help develop codex, send me a PM).

Ok, so i’ll try to address your issues as best I can (I’m taking a break from studying 😊)

@gerben, by defining a OneToMany or ManyToMany relationship. Look at the bundled example for reference.

@timj, I found the problem. The Date plugin loads the javascript file on-demand. That is, the javascript file doesn’t get loaded if it’s not used. Now, because the date picker in your one-to-many relationship isn’t requested in the original page load, then the file isn’t included in the header. However, the ajax return just assumes it is. (did you follow that?) I’ll try to fix it. As far as your error, did you define a display_field in your YAML file?

@mattewr, ah, good point, I didn’t see that use-case…i’ll try to fix it

@Andi, As of now, you can’t do that, and I realize that’s a big limitation. What I have planned is to have the ability to optionally use Models instead of YAML files. That way you can define your own callbacks, and have more advanced functionality (Kinda like the django admin)

I have two question:
1) it is possible to insert into the view file a custom javascript different for each view? Example: i use a YAV tool for validate form client side. How it is possible to insert into each view file the js?

2)It is possible to insert into a form a free field, i.e. a text not in tha table, or a text get from another table?

Thank you Ciao

I am having problems. Latest version of CI (latest SVN) then the form generation works fine for a simple table until I create a .yml file (even an empty one) I get the message:

An Error Was Encountered

You must define a table name in your controller.

The MySQL Table:

CREATE TABLE `gallery` (
  `id` bigint(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `picture` varchar(100) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

After a fresh install of CI and Codex that works fine, I put in /codex/definitions/ the file gallery.yml and I get that error, whatever I put in the .yml file.

The url in Codex is:

<a href="http://localhost/codex/backend.php/?c=crud&m=index&t=gallery">http://localhost/codex/backend.php/?c=crud&m=index&t=gallery</a>

Please check that your YML file doesn’t have tabs (use spaces only)

Also please check your base urls if they’re correct.  Post again if it doesn’t work 😊

well yes, if you create an empty gallery.yml file, it will assume that’s where you have all your configuration, and it will attempt to load it from there.

You need to include all the required parameters in the YML file: db_table, controller_name, and form_setup
