Editor v1.5.0 requires to know row_# to validate or modify values

tom@pdp

Hello,

I really like most of the new features of Editor and DT. However, my code in JS and PHP stopped working when I try to validate or edit some values. For instance, o.data.users.username no longer valid. Now, I need to know row_# each time I want to access the value (o.data.users.row_#.username). The same issue with $_POST['data']['users']['username'] and $_POST['data']['row_#']['users']['username']. Is there in chance not to deal with row_# at all in Editor v1.5.0?

Thanks,
Tom

Yes, per the upgrade notes you can use the legacyAjax option to use the old data interchange format.

The format had to be changed to support multi-row editing in 1.5, so enabling the old form will not allow multi-row editing, but it will work exactly how 1.4 worked.

Thanks Allan. Multi-row is a nice a feature, but not in this case, in all my 50+ tables.

By the way, for the future use, how do I get row_# in PHP, if it is a key in an associative array that I have to know ahead? The same question concerning JS. How do I know row_# when I am in editor_users.on( 'preSubmit', function ( e, o, action ) {...});?

Thanks in advance

You would need to use a loop. In PHP you would typically use something like foreach( $_POST['data'] as $key => $values ) { ... }. In Javascript you would typically use jQuery's $.each(). You could use native looping over objects, but you need to be careful with browser compatibility.
