Thanks for the tip, I have tried that and it worked. However I have
now run into a new problem which is that the code now breaks the
links.
For example:
The URL to edit a project is now: /projects/edit/FWL0001 which
doesn''t work.
I guess I need to reverse the transformation on any database queries,
the logical place for this seems to be in beforeFind, but I can't seem
to work out how to change the ID field back tot it's original number.
Anyone got any ideas, or should I just give up on this method?
Cheers
Mike
