Editor with RowReorder - Undefined Index when adding a new record

JonathanTolhurst

I am trying to use the Rowreorder plugin with Editor but am getting a "A system error has occurred (More information)." error when adding a new record. The error message is:

 Notice: Undefined index: command.readingOrder in /pathto/controllers/command.php on line 65
{"data":[{"DT_RowId":"row_95","command":{"id":"95","COMMAND_NAME":"Test 46","SEQUENCE":"0","COMMAND_DESCRIPTION":"","CMD_CATEGORY_ID":"3","TYPE_ID":"1","DESCRIPTION":"","SCAN_CODE":"","DELAY":"60","ACTIVE":"1","FLAG_IFTTT":"1","readingOrder":"46"},"command_category":{"CMD_CATEGORY_NAME":"Space Exploration (Play)"},"command_type":{"TYPE_NAME":"Broadcast"}}]}

Line 65 is:

            ->where( 'command.readingOrder', $values['command.readingOrder'], '>=' )

The basic example worked fine? If you refresh the page the record has added. Row reordering works fine otherwise.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" class="init">
var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples

$(document).ready(function() {

Change $values['command.readingOrder'] to be:

$values['command']['readingOrder']

Thank you, that worked perfectly
