Hi,

I would like your suggestion regarding including jquery stepy for editing the contents, I have more than 50 fields to edit and need to break them in part preferably with fieldset.

Please advise.

regards.

Is it possible to have a actual checkbox layout rather than the bloated two table multi check interface thing?

No this is not able till now. I have change the interface though at the new version 1.1.8 now it's much more interesting. Have a look of the attached image.

Hi web-johnny,
I've been working with GroceryCRUD a bit more.

How do we use the CodeIgniter form helper with GroceryCRUD? Is this possible?

Thanks,
Matthew

I think there is no way doing that, since groceryCRUD has it's own form (but I don't exactly know ).
If you want to validate the data, you might use callback

Thank you goFrendiAsgard for your answer and yes you are right.
The only way to actually use the form_helper is with the callback_add_field and callback_edit_field. But to tell you the truth I don't understand why and where to use form_helper for grocery CRUD. An example of using a form helper could be:

Code:

function example_callback_add_field(){
    $this->grocery_crud->set_table('offices');
    $this->grocery_crud->set_subject('Office');
    $this->grocery_crud->required_fields('city');
    $this->grocery_crud->columns('city','country','phone','addressLine1','postalCode');

    $this->grocery_crud->callback_add_field('phone',array($this,'add_field_callback_1'));

    $output = $this->grocery_crud->render();

    $this->_example_output($output);
}

function add_field_callback_1()
{
    $this->load->helper('form');
    return '+30 '.form_input('phone', '');
}

But I don't really understand what are you looking for.

Hello web-johnny,
As always, thanks for your great answers!

I've been trying various CRUD methods in CodeIgniter, and Grocery CRUD is definitely terrific. Most of the methods I am reading about involve using the Form Helper. Just for comparison, I was wondering about Grocery CRUD with this.

Do you think it's easier and more powerful to just use Grocery CRUD callbacks instead of the CI Form Helper?

Thanks again,
Matthew

I totally believe that it's more powerful by NOT using form_helper. The good thing about grocery CRUD is that time after time its getting more stable as it uses less and less code from CI .
This is very useful for futures updates. For example even if major changes will be in Codeigniter , grocery CRUD is still stable and update-able without any problem. That's the secret that is still compatible with 1.7.x ;-)
The callbacks are pretty cool idea and I will try to have more documentation, so users can use them easily without any doubt.

Hello web-johnny,

Wow, I just discovered Grocery CRUD. It looks great!
I have one question about relations. Is it possible to use set_relation() when the name of the field isn't the same. Example:

Table Users:
-----------
id
username
password


Table Profiles:
------------
id
user_id
first_name
last_name


Can I relate the "id" field from the Users table with "user_id" field from the Profiles table?
(It's an existing project so renaming "id" to "user_id" is a bit difficult).
Thanks.
