I’m using your exelent module for a while, but now i stuck into one thing:

When I’m saving a file – its name is timestamp+name on disk, but only name in database. Is it possible to easyly change this behaaviour ? I need a real file name in database (with) timestamps.

I’ve noticed this problem occuring when using a copy of Formo newer than revision 130 – it looks like Ben Midget (owner of the Formo module) has re-architected the loading of values, causing the CRUD scaffolding module to break.

I’m reasonably convinced that the problem is either an unexpected bug in Formo, or needs a clearer definition of how to access and manipulate models within Formo itself.

At the moment, the I’ve found two fixes – either use a version of Formo earlier than r130, or patch the new Formo code to ensure that fill_models() is only called once.

I’m hoping Ben will respond soon with an update on this issue.

Cheers,

Nathan.

First of all I’m grateful for this cool module. There is a problem though: when adding record autonumber id is lost.

public function add()
…
if ($form->validate())
{
$this->add_save($form);
$form->save();
die( ‘##’ . $form->get_model($this->model)->id );

On this line I get 0 every time. What is very strange is that when I print same ID from Formo ORM plugin I get proper value.

Have you got any idea what’s happening there? Does it work at your testbed? To represent just add something and click ‘add new something and edit’.

Hasn’t been ported to KO3 yet I’m afraid – I was hoping to make a start on it soon, but I’m fairly snowed under at work, so it may be a while yet. Of course, if someone else fancies giving it a go, I’ll happily create a branch in the project repo and give them access.

Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until things calm down (most likely after the new year sometime).

Nathan.

Has anyone done it?

Total noob to Kohana, so speak in single syllable words please

I cannot praise this module enough. Kohana together with this module takes PHP frameworks a big leap forward. Now PHP frameworks are almost as easy to use as Django for example. The old PHP4 based monsters like Symfony and Cake are just too much hassle. Hope Kohana includes this module in the framework once it has matured.

Glad you like the module! With regards to the file field, I had similar problems, as well as a host of issues relating to how it uploads and validates, and so eventually ended up creating a new file upload driver for formo. My understanding is that to get the file driver to work, you’ll need to capture the output of the file driver, and save the specific part(s) to the database (I believe there are a number of different values returned). You can do this inside either the add_save() or edit_save() methods, which you can override in your controller.

I’ll try to post up my modified file driver for formo sometime soon.

Alternatively, email me at mail (at) nathanbentley (dot) com and I’ll add the request for you.
