Hi Tim:
Thanks for the description. Now I see to TempRepeater as a
SimpleRpeater++. Is this correct?
I am looking for a similar repeater some days ago. The problem is:
I have a table with a Primary Key with more than one field. The current
repeaters does not allow me to define a unique-id with more that one
field. And in my case:
rowNumber id1 id2
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 1
4 2 2
....
In this way I cannot choose any of the ids to be unique. The result is
nothing is updated.
I wonder if I am the only one facing this problems with CForms. I think
other people will need this enhancement. After thinking in how to solve
this I come to 2 posible solutions:
1- The Best: Allow repeater to define unique-row with more than 1 field.
2- Based in an special requirement: I have a fixed length of rows in the
repeater to display and the user cannot change the number of rows. The
user just fill data. I can call it a FixedLengthRepeater. Of course I can
do this based on the current Simple or Temp Repeater. But I don't like the
idea of this special purpose repeater.
Back to (1), in order to allow multiple unique-ids, we need to change from
attributes to elements: @unique-row-id and @unique-path
So in this way we can write:
<wb:repeater id="myRepeaterId" parent-path="." row-path="TheRowPath">
<wb:unique-row>
<wb:unique-field id="myId1" path="myId1"/>
<wb:unique-field id="myId2" path="myId2"/>
</wb:unique-row>
<wb:on-bind>
<wb:value id="myId1" path="myId1"/>
<wb:value id="myId2" path="myId2"/>
<wb:value id="field1" path="field1"/>
<wb:value id="field2" path="field2"/>
</wb:on-bind>
</wb:repeater>
WDYT?
I need to have something like this for tomorrow. If this is OK. I will
start to work right now on this.

Antonio Gallardo
