Xataface Forums

While learning xataface tutorial, auction is an application I'm playing with.
2 questions.

1)Page address
http://xataface.com/documentation/tutor ... ustomizing

"...You can change the widget that is used to edit a field by specifying a "widget:type" attribute for the field in the fields.ini file.
more information about the available widgets, see the widget:type manual page..."
link http://xataface.com/documentation/manua ... _type/view goes nowhere

2)index.php?-action=new&-table=users
Users/details/new record

Edit Details

(fields)
Username
Password
Firstname
Lastname
Title
Department
Phone
Email
Role Please Select ... USER ADMIN
Receive output notifications
Receive notifications by email when you are outbid on items
Timezone Please Select ...
Submit

According to tutorials I suppose to see all that in
tables/users/fields.ini
but this is what I see

[prefs_receive_outbid_notifications]
widget:type=checkbox
widget:label = "Receive output notifications"
widget:description = "Receive notifications by email when you are outbid on items"

[password]
encryption=md5

[timezone]
widget:type=select
vocabulary=timezones

The fields.ini may or may not already contain entries for the fields of a table (there's no law that says the fields.ini file has to be there at all). If no entry yet exists for a field in the fields.ini file, Xataface will just use the default settings for that field. You are free to customize fields by adding a section to the fields.ini file for that field.

Thank you, Steve.
I may didn't explain myself very clear.
I understand that I'm free to create/change anything I need in fields.ini.
The question is how to take out or change fields
1)I can see on the page,
2)but not presented in fields.ini at all.
Where those fields comming from.
That's a pazzle for me.
Thank you.

The fields show up because they are defined in the database. You can remove them by any of the following methods:

1. Remove the column from the database (careful with this one to make sure that the field is not needed and hard coded anywhere in the program).

2. Add a section to the fields.ini file for that field, and set all applicable things to hidden:

Code: Select all

[my_field]
    visibility:list=hidden
    visibility:browse=hidden
    visibility:find=hidden
    widget:type=hidden


3. Set the permission on the field to no access in the delegate class:

Code: Select all

function myfield__permissions(&$record){
    return Dataface_PermissionsTool::NO_ACCESS();
}
