I spent a few hours trying several approaches, but kept getting failures, usually due to binary incompatibility. Then it hit me: the internet archive! So I went digging, and sure enough, the wiki lives on there! So when you finally are ready to play around with it, look here for the wiki documentation: http://web.archive.org/web/20110811180826/http://wiki.dabodev.com/FrontPage -- Ed Leafe

isChanged() doesn't detect
by Dragan Nedeljković 25 Jun '20

Disclaimer: I'm still a newbie here. The form I have is for editing one long table... well, less than 2000 records, but with long texts inside, and a bunch of internal links in the text. It's a book, which I first wrote in Fox, in english, and now couldn't translate it into serbian in Fox under wine, because it thinks cyrilic script doesn't exist and gives me ??? for whatever I type. It's just the keyboard and clipboard that act like that, but that's enough to be a showstopper. So I'm rewriting it in postgres and Dabo. Which worked fine so far, except it stopped saving. The point is in the main bizobject being a child of a navigation bizobject. I have a grid on the left where I pick the record to edit, and then this child bizobject requeries (proper linkfield and parent linkfield) and shows the right record's details. And then when I edit that, it doesn't save. Because the parent record isn't changed, perhaps. Or because there was no change in the other children (there are also the img and imglink tables, the img containing the paths to attached images, and imglink links this current record to it and also may contain the comment - but there's only about 150 images so far, i.e. many records have no corresponding records in it). It worked for a while, before I added the images. The .isChanged() keeps returning False, no matter what I do, both before and after calling the two-liner function which updates the tstamp field with now(). I addded an isChanged() to it to always return True, still doesn't save. Should I just fake it by writing the tstamp to the parent table? It basically IS the same table, with just most of the fields gone, just the pk, name, and category names from two lookups are in it. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
