Hello Steve, thank for nice tool, this is what I looking for - RAD tool for admin interface to data content in webapp. I feel on edge for version 0.6.

Small bug:
If I group some widgets like

[projectnum]  
widget:label = "Project number"  
group = "Evidence information"

in HTML content there are always nbsp; entity after each TR tag in TABLE which represents group. It makes bad view
in IE and Opera.

Hidden feature:
I can use database column name as item selector (in place of automatic -cursor) in URL, this is useful, when I need call direct URL for delete item from another application.
E.g.: Item column “id” is 3 in table books, when I want update item:

index.php?-action=browse&-table=books&id=3
and for deleting
index.php?-action=delete&-table=books&id=3&-limit=30&-delete-one=1

This is nice, leave this feature in next releases.

Hi optik,

Thanks for the bug report. I’ll take a look to make sure that this is fixed in 0.6.

The hidden URL feature is there by design, but you raise a good point by the fact that it isn’t documented - as undocumented features are generally “fair game” to be changed. This feature is here to stay. I’ll make sure it is documented with the 0.6 documentation.

Best regards

Steve
