It's very different -- you edit the whole table on one screen at the same time, and changes are buffered until you click save. - Jeppe Nejsum Madsen wrote: Naftoli Gugenheim writes: [...] > They tickets are: > 299 - ItemsList should be have refresh method to clear added/removed > without requerying database > Until now it only had a reload method, which reset the state to that > of the database, clearing pending additions and deletions.

[Lift] TableEditor enhancements
I have a patch on Review Board. I haven't asked on the list for the committers to review it because I've needed to perfect it still. It occurred to me that some of the tickets might not have been discussed on the list, so I want to do so now in case I didn't yet, although the enhancements included are trivial and pretty basic. As you may know, the net.liftweb.mapper.view package contains some useful Mapper-related components. One is TableEditor, which provides a very simple snippet to edit a Mapper table--useful for very basic lists. It's based on ItemsListEditor, which allows for similar functionality in a much more configurable way. It in turn uses ItemsList, which is a convenient way to hold a list of Mapper entities and keep track of new items pending being saved, and items pending removal. This way a user can cancel their edits, as long as they have not clicked Save. They tickets are: 299 - ItemsList should be have refresh method to clear added/removed without requerying database Until now it only had a reload method, which reset the state to that of the database, clearing pending additions and deletions. This adds a refresh method, which only reloads items but remembers pending additions and deletions. 300 - ItemsList.save unremoves removed unsaved items This is a defect. After a number of attempts, I made a more substantial change to fix it. 301 - ItemsListEditor should allow custom columns Provide a hook so user code can add additional columns, e.g., calculated data. 302 - ItemsListEditor should display items pending removal, albeit in strikeout font Previously when you click 'Remove' the item disappears, and only reappears if you reload it without saving first. This places the items at the end of the list, uneditable and in a strikeout font. I would like to add a new enhancement as well, namely to generate javascript to prompt you if you try to leave the page with unsaved items. Thoughts?
