Re: elementTypeMap

The ideal solution for this is the generator should store field lengths in the ini file [{tablename}__len] id = 11 test_description = 167777215 ..... and the data should be accessable somehow.. - I've not had time to look into how to do this, and where to put it.. yet..

Hi, I thought elementTypeMap was set in formBuilder and didn't need to be configured (it's there in the file),

It doesn't and shouldn't be set unless you're using a custom or different element type.

but textareas are not created for my longtext or text field types -- everything is created in an input type text. The longtext and text fieldtypes in my DO are generated as

var $test_description;                // blob(16777215)  blob -- does

that have something to do with it? (Should it be generating as longtext instead of blob, if so how should I change that?)

The issue here isn't actually FormBuilder, it's DataObject. The createTables.php script sets the type of those fields to DB_DATAOBJECT_STR instead of DB_DATAOBJECT_TXT. You can either alter your database.ini to make them type DB_DATAOBJECT_TXT or put a textFields array in the DataObject listing the text fields.

At any rate, to set elementTypeMap through the database.formBuilder.ini file, what's the exact syntax? I tried: elementTypeMap = shorttext:text,longtext:textarea but nothing happened. Wrong ini file? Wrong syntax? Both? thanks, s. -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php !DSPAM:40db4ea768561151165702!
