Archived from the Xataface Users forum.

I have just tried upgrading from Xataface version 1.1.5 to 1.2.1 to try it out. I hit a problem almost straight away in that when displaying a table, the record elements were no longer appearing as hyperlinks to edit the record. Something is obviously fundamentally wrong with my configuiration. Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Andrew.

The same thing happened to me. My users could not work so I had to reverse back to 1.1.5 Are the hyperlinks in list view a default function? I can not remember whether that is a hack or not, but I believe they were default. Am I right on this?

When you say the record elements were no longer appearing as hyper links, does that mean they were appearing but they weren’t linkable?

What did the generated html look like?

Can you post a screenshot?

Is this in all of your tables or just some?

What version of PHP/MySQL/WebServer/OS are you using?

I’m running 1.2.x on all of my applications (approx 100 different ones) and haven’t had this problem so it might be a slight configuration or permissions issue.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. Yes everything appears but nothing is linkable. All my projects seem to be affected the same. See HTML source below. Sorry it is a lot but I did choose a small table.

Thanks,

Andrew.

One thing that comes to mind is that I added a permission called ‘link’ to the latest version that enables/disables linking to a record.

This permission is included in the READ ONLY role, and all supersets of this role, but if you are using custom defined roles then you may be missing this permission.

Yes it works - very many thanks.
