Hi Jes, thanks a lot for your kind help. With your help I am starting to make sense of number of difficult things. Yes, I was missing this code needed to get parameters from URL, loading existing record and then updating it. I am still struggling with delete page but hopefully get it done. If not will ask you again. > In my experience it's better to move slightly more things into dispatcher: > > on '/edit_post/*' => run { > # * - also captures so you can do the following and don't need before rule: > my $id = $1; > > # load right in dispatcher > my $post = Jifty->app_class('Model::Post'); > $post->load( $id ); > > # "404: not found" if not found > abort(404) unless $post->id; > > # store object instead of id > set post => $post; > > show '/edit_post' ; > }; Hi Ruslan, I tried to use the $post object in my lib/MyWeblog/View.pm as follows: template editpost => page { title => 'Edit Entry' } content { my $post = get 'post'; my $action = new_action(class => 'UpdatePost', record => $post); form { render_action $action; form_submit(label => 'Update'); } }; But I think I am doing something wrong because of the following error. (JiftyDemo is my app name) INFO - GET request for /errors/500 FATAL - View error: Attempt to reload JiftyDemo/View.pm aborted. Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Jifty/Util.pm line 277. > I hope once you implement this and learn new tricks, you send us > patches for documentation to make things clearer for other newbies :) Yes sure Ruslan, I badly needed such a document and I think a lot of beginners too. I am going to do a write up as soon as I am able to do following things: 1. Adding, editing, deleting rows in a model. (Almost done). 2. Using templates to selectively display table columns. 3. User registration, management with the plug-in. 4. Menu bar mgmt. 5. Basic validation using models. Most applications at my work place don't need functionality more than this. I am surprised (and happy) to learn that I need to write very few lines of code to do these things using Jifty. This is indeed going to increase my productivity many fold. So I think Jifty is not only for the developers of advanced applications. Thx for all the help.
