1: an example with ad_form - newbie question
Posted by Daniel D on 05/23/03 07:06 PM
The first question:

I am following the example from documentation for “ad_form” function. My code looks like:

ad_page_contract {
        Simple add/edit form for d-bug.
} {
    dbug_id:integer,optional
}
set user_id [ad_maybe_redirect_for_registration]
set title "Add a D-Bug"

if {[exists_and_not_null dbug_id]} {
    set title "Edit a D-Bug"
}

ad_form -name d-bug -form {
    dbug_id:key(dbg_dbg_id_sq)
    {component:integer
        {label "Component"}
    }
    {sumary:text(textarea)
        {label "Title"}
    }
    {version_found:integer
        {label "Ver.Found"}
    }
    {version_willfix:integer
        {label "Ver. Will Fix"}
    }
    {version_didfix:integer
        {label "Ver. Did Fix"}
    }
    {description:text(textarea)
        {label "Summary"}
    }
} -select_query {
    SELECT *
    FROM  d_bug
    WHERE  dbug_id = :d_bug_id
} -new_data {

db_dml do_insert "
      INSERT INTO d_bug
      VALUES      (
                  :dbug_id,
                  :component,
                  :sumary,
                  :version_found,
                  :version_willfix,
                  :version_didfix,
                  :description
                  )
"
} -edit_data {
db_dml do_update "
      UPDATE d_bug
      SET    component      = :component,
              sumary          = :sumary,
              version_found  = :version_found,
              version_willfix = :version_willfix,
              version_didfix  = :version_didfix,
              description    = :description
      WHERE  dbug_id        = :key"
} -after_submit {
ad_returnredirect "index"
}

While inserting a new bug works ok, when I click on edit, I have this error message:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

And this is the link in browser:
http://192.x.x.114:8000/d-bug/d_bug-edit?dbug_id=1

If anyone is willing to give an advice, or need more information, please ask.

My second question is how to use custom “default-master.adp” for only one package? I assume, that if I adjust default-master.adp, all packages will change, not just my testing package.

Thank you for your time.

So where is this link you're clicking on, in your index template? And what is the name of your form-handling file? My guess is that that you've just got the URL wrong in the hyperlink referencing the form-handling file.

As for your second question ... look-and-feel is modifiable for individual subsites, not individual packages. We do things this way because commonly people want to give a site a uniform look-and-feel and this simplifies the amount of customization needed to accomplish this.

So what you'd need to do to change the look-and-feel of your testing package is to mount another instance of acs-subsite in the site-map, give that acs-subsite instance its own master template, then mount your test package under the new acs-subsite instance.

This assumes you write your package in the generalized style we use. If your package is customized for a particular website and will never be used outside that particular website there's no reason you can't define a master template in your package then refer to it directly in the "master" tag within your various content pages.
