I'll have a look into that. > > Regarding creating a form automatically (although I haven't yet done > anything about it), I thought of asking on the dbic list whether > anyone else is using column_info() to provide more advanced hints > about which form field type to use, and possibly constraints to use. In InstantCRUD I took the path of generating that config data from the column_info() so that the user can customize it later. On the other hand I remember your argument that all the data type constraints are really *mandatory* so there is no use in releasing them - and the user should only *add new constraints* - which sounds reasonable. But there can be two problems: 1. column_info() when getting the column datatype from the DB is a bit heavy 2. I think was there a plan to column_info to only return the data from the config and move the DB query to the Loader - and this would mean that using it would require that people put the data types into the Schema files > Also, do you want svn commit access? Hmm I've tried to download the code - but I am getting: svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu' svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu': 200 OK (https://html-formfu.google-code.com) Anyone knows what is that about? -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ HTML-FormFu mailing list HTML-FormFu@lists.scsys.co.uk http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/html-formfu
