PloneFormGen + DataGridField -> Updating DB data

Post #1 of 3 (2309 views)

Hello :)

I'm currently using PFG+DataGrid fields to insert data on a MySQL DB,
but now I need a form to allow to update that data. How can I do this
with DG fields without having a column showing the ID?

Also, how can I delete DG fields from the database?

I submitted a feature request for PFG to allow DG fields have hidden
columns exactly for this purpouse, but is there another way I can do
this without having to wait this feature to (hopefully ;) getting
implemented?

Thanks

Sounds like a PFG issue. If you can write your own template for the form
then there shouldn't be any problems.

Sorry, I have no idea how DG works. There are tutorials on how to use
relational databases in Zope using ZSQL methods in the Zope book.
