Hi

We have a Employee Table and we want to auto-generate the Employee Code and show it in the add form as read-only in the Employee Code field

Kindly can you guide us how we can achieve this in grocery

Thanks

The readonly fields are not yet included to grocery CRUD but you can use a simple callback for this, for example:

function example_callback_edit_field(){

    $crud = new grocery_CRUD();



    $crud->set_table('offices');

    $crud->set_subject('Office');

    $crud->required_fields('city');

    $crud->columns('city','country','phone','addressLine1','postalCode');



    $crud->callback_edit_field('phone',array($this,'example_callback_1'));



    $output = $crud->render();



    $this->_example_output($output);

}



function example_callback_1($value, $primary_key)

{

    return "<b>".$value."</b>";

}

Hi,
This seems not to work if you use a relation as in i.e. company_id => company_name

Yes this is a known issue and I will try to fix it for the next version. For now you can just use this work around: /topic/254-set-relation-breaks-processing-of-field-with-same-name-returned/page__p__982#entry982

Hi,

Thanks for that link. I ended up using hidden fields, since the fields in question are foreign keys whih should not be edited in the given situation. So now the add and edit works.

I have actually coded most of the vital parts of the project backend in ~200 lines of code. This tool really rocks!

I found a kind of workaround for master detail: add_action
