[SOLVED] Default value to NULL

Hi,

I have a field in my database I want to be set to NULL on a new data. I also don’t want to display this field in the edit form. This field is of type INTEGER(1).

I tried to put ignore = 1 into fields.ini file, but it doesn’t seem to work. If I use widget:type = hidden, it doesn’t work because the value is then set to 0 instead of NULL.

How can I do what I want?

Charles,

you can use

Code: Select all

widget:type = hidden

And you add a function in the Delegate class of your table

Code: Select all

function field__pushValue($record, $element){             $value = $element->getValue();              if (!$value) {                       return NULL;         }          }

A couple of other options.

1. Replace your Dataface/Serializer.php with the one found at http://weblite.ca/svn/dataface/core/tru … alizer.php

or

1. Upgrade to Xataface 1.2 just released yesterday.
