Hi everyone! I’m new using Xataface. I’m using the 1.2.5 version with an existing database.
I’ve follow the documentation. I’ve created the ‘tables’ folder and inside of it, a new folder ‘journal’ with correspondence with homonym table name. I’ve created the fields.ini file and added a few lines just for test with:

[Completetitle]
widget:label=”Complete Title”

But when I click to the ‘edit’ button the form doesn’t show any change. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hiya,

So this ‘Completetitle’ is the actual name of the column in the table? (case is correct, etc)

Also, does the change work outside of edit mode (i.e in List view)?

Thanks

Paul,

Yes, ‘Completetitle’ is the column name in the table. In the List view instead of “Complete title” appears “Completetitle” so it’s the same.

so the directory that fields.ini resides also has the correct name?

i.e. /your/dataface/blah/tables/Completetitle/fields.ini ? (case is correct, etc?)

Cheers

Hi! Now I’m trying in another computer and it seems everything’s working fine! So I’ll check what happens in the other computer. Thanks!
