Bit by bit I understand more of what goes on inside maypole. But for every success I have, I get stumped on the next thing.
What I would like to do, is after a record as added, update one of the fields based on a info in the new record for a foreign key. So if the user fills in the form for a new "server" record: Hostname: Vendor: (drop down list for the "has_a" from the vendor table) I want to then update the (not displayed) field "Comment" with something like: "for problems contact vendor: Dell" The way I'm trying to do it now, is to override the "addnew" model method (this is FormBuilder). I am able to change fields, but what I can't figure how to do is get the stringified name "Dell". The user chooses "Dell" from the select box, but the value passed back is ID field, something like 1034. So I'm sitting in my Addnew method, I have the variables $self, and $r, how can I get "Dell" from 1034 out of the Vendor table. Any help appreciated.
