About CRUD:
- When I use "form_order" -- I suppose I have to have it on my model,
it wasn't clear on the video --, can I specify what will be the
screen name for the field? For example, you had "Pagename", how
could I make it into "Page Name" or even "New wiki page name"?
I really liked the way you implemented "form_order", specially
because one usually want hiding "useless" information such as ids,
timestamps and other auditing columns.
- How can I create pages of data? After your wiki example had
something like 700 entries, it wouldn't be comfortable to work with
all of them at once... Imagine some application where you can heve
1000 entries added everyday... :-) Retrieving a fixed ammount of
entries -- I default to 50 entries -- grants me a fixed ammount of
time to render a page, no matter how many entries there are on the
database. Using it freely will make rendering time increase, hence
diminish the productivity of the person (people) using the
system...
- Last, but not least important, how will I18N work here?
About Forms:
- It really gave me the idea of putting an attribute 'error_message'
into each Widget so that form validation could be more verbose when
showing the form back to the user, so that he knows what is
wrong... For FormTable, I believe the message could go on the same
column the widget itself is shown, after a "<br />", putting it on
the line below the field the user filled -- and in red? ;-)
- The default is OK to be maintained and in fact it is *very* helpful,
but again, how to I18Nize it? ;-)
I am seriously considering delaying a delivery to use this CRUD mechanism...
I think it will be more "professional" ;-)
And, by the way, with your first video I also had to turn the sound to the
maximum. Isn't there any recording set you can do to make it louder? :-) I
jumped from my chair 5 times with ICQ/MSN noises of people getting in and out
because I had the volume at the maximum to hear your videocast :-)
