Hi Steve

can I use the method : after_action_edit() in dataface-0.7.1 ?

when I try the following:

function after_action_edit(&$record){

//comment

}

I get this error:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for tables_neu_fragen::after_action_edit() in /path/to/website/dataface-0.7.1/partner/tables/neu_fragen/neu_fragen.php on line 17

or does the method refer to $record automatically?

I have do do some calculations when the record has been edited and update some fields depending on these calculations.

my first try looks like this:

———————snip———————————-

function after_action_edit(&$record){

//calculate the difference

$auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();

$groesse_sch = $record->val(‘schuhgroesse’);

$fussgroesse_re = $record->val(‘fussgroesse_re’);

$mod_re = $record->val(‘mod_re’);

if ($groesse_sch - (($fussgroesse_re*3)) <0>setValue(‘mod_re’, $mod_re_neu);}

}

———————snap————————————

maybe you’ll find the time to provide a simple example of the after_action_edit method

I still hesitate to upgrade to the last xataface release because i made some changes to the dataface core, and unfortunately i forgot to document it….(very professional…isn’t it?)

thanks

and greetings from Berlin

mmmhh..

phpbb eats code!

the excerpt above should be:

Code: Select all

if ($groesse_sch - (($fussgroesse_re*3)) <0>setValue('mod_re', $mod_re_neu);}

cheers

the code tags of phpbb are filtering out code as well

If you check the “Disable HTML in this post” option, it will prevent it from eating the code.

The reason for the error is that the after_action_edit trigger doesn’t take any parameters. If you want to get the current record you would have to do this:

Code: Select all

function after_action_edit(){     $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();     $record =& $app->getRecord();     .... }

Hi Steve

I’d like to, sort of “trace” my calculations in the message box(just for testing), You know , the one where “Record successfully saved” appears. Later i’d like to customize the messages relating on these calculations. I know i have done this already with dataface two years ago but i simply forgot how and i also could not find it in the documentation.

do You have an idea?

thanks in advance

Martin

Could be a part of your solution.
