Hi Steve,

I have some difficulties to find documentation about the grafted fields.
I added the __sql__ statement at the beginning of my fields.ini. Then I checked up my query to be sure, it is OK.
But the field is not displayed. Did I forget an operation ?

Thank you

Jean

Hi Jean,

A couple of things to check for:
1. If you have set blanket default permissions for your fields using the __field__permissions() method you could be disallowing access to the field.
2. If you have set default field visibility in the fields.ini file via the [__global__] section....
3. Check to make sure that your __sql__ directive is at the beginning of the file and that it is __sql__ and not _sql_
4. Try to enter an obviously invalid SQL query for the __sql__ directive to see if you get an error (to confirm that it is picking up the __sql__ directive at all).

Thank you Steve.

I checked up all your suggestions. Syntax is right but yes the __sql__ is not taken into account although the statement is at the beginning of the fields.ini.

Code: Select all

__sql__ = "select p.*, d.total from programmation p left join devis d on p.id_proposition_artistique=d.id_proposition_artistique"

Well Steve, it works with the function __sql__ in the delegate class. I don't understand why it did not work in the fields.ini.

This is a long shot, but try putting something else (not a section) before __sql__

e.g.

Code: Select all

foo=bar
__sql__="...."
