User Defined Fields - emvisi - 04-23-2010 Not a bug as such, but I found a limitation that meant I had problems with User Defined Fields. I updated 1.2.5.6 -> 1.2.5.7, as described in another thread, but still had problems making UDF work properly. After successfully creating a UDF field, I clicked on the link to add a new value and there were several php warnings: Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in E:\xampp\htdocs\docs\udf.php on line 356 Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in E:\xampp\htdocs\docs\udf.php on line 358 Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in E:\xampp\htdocs\docs\udf.php on line 377 Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in E:\xampp\htdocs\docs\udf.php on line 384 Anyway, after a bit of investigation I discovered the problem. I had set up a UDF called 'partner'. The actual table set up by ODM was called 'odm_udftbl_partner', but the reference to this table stored in odm_udf.table_name was 'odm_udftbl_partn'. The name had been truncated as the field is limited to 16 characters. I changed the type to varchar(25), corrected the data and the problem went away. I'd suggest increasing the 16-character limit in odm_udf.table_name, since 11 characters are immediately used up by the 'odm_udftbl_' prefix. Alternatively make sure it's clear that the user-defined table name is limited to 5 characters. Cheers, Mike Re: User Defined Fields - Stephen - 04-23-2010 I will check it out. Thanks. Re: User Defined Fields - mohnkern - 04-27-2010 I've hit two issues on the UDF: 1. It only allows me type "pick list" 2. If I add the field, and then delete it before I add a record, I get: Error in query: ALTER TABLE odm_data DROP COLUMN odm_udftbl_Testf. Can't DROP 'odm_udftbl_Testf'; check that column/key exists It gets rid of it, it just generates the error. Re: User Defined Fields - Stephen - 04-28-2010 Fixed in 1.2.5.7. As for the single dropdown option, that it is the only UDF type available. |
