Re: MNHNL Dynamic Form for Drupal

Hi

I have been trying out this Drupal form which dynamically creates a survey form to match the warehouse configuration for that survey. You can use the Lookup Lists > Surveys > Set Up Attributes option on the warehouse to establish the order and grouping of attributes. Very cool.

I was having a problem with the fields not appearing as I expected on my Drupal form. I traced this to the fact that, under the Custom Attributes > Sample Attributes warehouse menu, my attributes were checked both as non-survey specific as well as being survey specific. The upshot of this was that the warehouse thought I wanted these attributes twice and, at the Drupal end, the non-survey specific version over-wrote the survey specific version, eliminating the details of grouping.

To work around this problem, I simply un-ticked the non-survey specific checkbox. This post relates to version 0.4.0

Re: MNHNL Dynamic Form for Drupal

Hi,
sounds like a great solution for setting up a custom data entry form! Unfortunately we are getting error messages again...
When we try to follow the link Lookup Lists > Surveys > Set Up Attributes we get the following:

Please check the Kohana documentation for information about the following error.
   system/core/Kohana.php [1162]:
The requested view, Attribute_by_survey/index, could not be found
Stack Trace

                                ...
                                ...

This happens for any survey and we have no idea what to do about this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Gaby

Re: MNHNL Dynamic Form for Drupal

...problem solved!
seems that in the code a folder name with a capital A was expected.  It works now after we changed the indicia/application/views/attribute_by_survey folder to Attribute_by_survey. Maybe this specific problem only arises on Linux servers as they are case sensitive?
cheers,
gaby

Re: MNHNL Dynamic Form for Drupal

Thanks for sharing that. I'm running IIS on Windows Server 2003 and hadn't experienced a problem. That should be an easy one to fix for the next release.

Re: MNHNL Dynamic Form for Drupal

I've just fixed this in the code repository. FYI, application/controllers/attribute_by_survey.php, line 56 in the warehouse should read:

$this->template->content=new View('attribute_by_survey/index');

Thanks for the info.
