Editor 1.3.2 release notes
This is a minor, but none-the-less important, release of Editor which addresses a number of issues with the previous releases. Although primarily a bug fix release (see below for details of each individual fix) there also a couple of new features including the ability to get the row that is being edited in an event through the modifier()
method.
Important This update to Editor required TableTools 2.2.2 or newer due (if you are using TableTools with Editor) to a fix that crosses both pieces of software. The latest version of TableTools is available on the DataTables download page.
Details of all changes are available below.
Release notes
New
- New:
modifier()
method - get the modifier that was used to trigger the edit or remove action - New - PHP:
dsn
option in the SQL configuration array- This is specifically designed for specifying a character set for MySQL database connections, but is available to all Editor PDO drivers as being able to set additional DSN information can be useful.
- This is an optional parameter
- The driver connection methods will now accept an array of options as well as each option individually. This is an internal change and you won't notice any difference unless you have a custom driver.
- New example: TableTools export buttons
- New example: Responsive example showing Editor with the new Responsive extension for DataTables
Updates
- Update: AMD loader is now anonymous rather than being a named module
Fixes
- Fix: When deferred rendering is enabled, a select all button for deletion would not delete all rows - only those which had already been drawn by the DataTable
- IMPORTANT: This fix required TableTools 2.2.2 or newer
- Fix: On smaller screensizes the height of the lightbox wasn't being updated on resize. This was particularly noticable on older computers with a x1024 resolution

- Fix: Joins when using Postgres weren't working
- Fix: Use the given
name
for fields to extend the object submitted to the server, not the data property.- Typically the
data
andname
properties are the same in an Editor field description, but not always, particularly in the case of using thedata
option as a function.

- Fix: When using join tables with matching substrings Editor could mix the two up

- Fix: Bootstrap integration for inline editing
- Fix: Unable to use
ajax.data
as an object - Fix: Field validation, if there is a set formatter, always use the data

message()
was setting a field error rather than a message - Fix PHP: Remove
dbAlias
