Kudo's to Ivan - It's a pretty good answer. I think the metaphor breaks down when you get to >1000 items that could pop up in a select field, but at least you don't get his when just using a plain-jane manipulator with this fix.
I think I'll stick with the tendency towards using raw_id_admin=True myself, but then I don't need anything populated into a large pulldown. My case would have a pulldown of 30K+ items, which just doesn't make sense for a UI. -joe On 3/12/07, Malcolm Tredinnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 17:37 +1100, Malcolm Tredinnick wrote: > > On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 05:00 +0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I was just wondering if there were any known issues regarding speed > > > with ChangeManipulators and large objects? > > > > > > I'm using custom ChangeManipulators successfully on about 50 pages > > > right now... but when I did an edit page for one of my largest > > > database tables ( about 50 columns... and about 20 of them are foreign > > > keys to other objects that also contain foreign keys ), my page load > > > time shot up to about 30 seconds. > > > > > > If I comment out the line where I instantiate the custom change > > > manipulator..and just pass None in for the Form ... it loaded fast > > > (obviously blank forms load fast..heh).
