Datagrid : every field must have an adequate type ?

[Jean]

Hi Steve and all,
For a datagrid, can I have some INT fields in my row ? In my case I have one VARCHAR field, one is INT (primary key), the others are SELECT. I'd like to have these VARCHAR and SELECT fields editable but no grid is displayed although I put the right lines into conf.ini and permissions.ini. Is it an error form my part or is it normal ?
Thank you

Jean

I believe it goes by the widget type rather than field type. Only the core widget types are displayed in the grid. Eg text, textarea, select, calendar...

[Jean]

I cannot display the grid. Do I need to download the module ext js too ? I did it without any change.

I am not sure to understand what I need to add in the permissions.ini (which one ? in the app directory? or in the Xataface directory?)

In the app permissions.ini I added :

Code: Select all

[ADMIN]
DataGrid:view_grid=1
DataGrid:update=1
DataGrid:create_grid=1
DataGrid:edit_grid=1
DataGrid:manage_grids=1

In the conf.ini, I added

Code: Select all

[_modules]
modules_DataGrid = "modules/DataGrid-0.2.1/DataGrid.php"


I added EXT JS in the template (Dataface_Main_Template.html) in my app directory.

My fields are widget:type =select

I don't know what I can do to have this DataGrid displayed and what is wrong with my code.

Thank you

You don't have to include ExtJS. That is all handled by the module. What happens when you display the grid? Just a white page? Check your error log for hints on why it isn't showing up.

All is displayed but I don't have any tab for DataGrid. I could see the module is recognised by the app. I don't see any error about this in the error log.

My expression has been ambiguous. I just have no tab called "grid"

Your user probably doesn't have permission to access the grid action. You must at least be granted the 'DataGrid:view_grid' permission.

Thank you Steve, I checked up this and all seems fine.
I noticed besides that in my table dataface__datagrids, I don't have any entry.

Eventually, I found the error :
I change the forder name from DataGrid-0.2.1 to DataGrid in the modules folder
And now it works.
thank you

Ahh.. yes that would do it. Glad to hear you finally got it working. Hopefully this thread will help future users who face the same issue.
