I am now debugging an admin gen form. I find it tedious to dig in all
the files that admin gen creates for me. Especially when I have to
look in to places: the cache dir and the backend module directories.
On the other hand, I find it way easier to debug it in standard sfForm
than with the auto
That is right, having a declaration style is always good, at any point.
Because it makes code reusable, at least.
Admin-gen is not made to handle all the needs, even if it can.
The idea is really good, the implementation has its own limits.
Limits that you can extend by extending the admin-gen
Yes but I think you are missing the point Richtermeister. All this
extending makes it more difficult with the admin generator involved.
Not difficult perse'. But just extra effort. If one can achieve the
same thing using just plain sfForm, why do we need to go through admin
generator to do the
I think it depends on your requirements. If you need a backend with simple
CRUD modules.. then you could use the generator to create them in just a few
minutes. Maybe then customize the templates and there you go. You have a
fully CRUD module ready to go in notime. You could of course extend the
Hey Christian,
I guess I haven't really played with the non-admin-generator version
of admin modules.
However, I think Gustavo speaks to my point that so far the admin
generator fits my requirements quite well.
Specifically, for my work I build quite a lot of different apps and
sites with
I see the admin generator more as a starting point, something you can
build upon.
We have in our application backend both simple and complicated admin
modules.
Simple - generated admin modules where only a couple of partials are
used, no actions override.
Complicated - rewritten editing + custom
Hey there,
I use the admin generator exclusively for my admin backends. I find
that it gives a quick yet solid foundation for all my admin needs, and
if I run into situations like you describe (make the same changes to
different modules) I can simply extend the generator itself and the
changes
