Multi-item editing gives troubles with field ids

[shershen]

in an entry, you've got working with fields like this

Code: Select all

$_POST['pages'][$id]['title] = $title;
  $_POST['pages'][$id]['pages_author'] = $author;


i mean there are arrays of ids and names of fields, that a named like "pages[80][title]", "pages[80][pages_author]" (80 - it's and example id) and so on
and because of this i can not use them in any JavaScript code for inserting a value like :

Code: Select all

document.forms[0].ITEMID.value = ...

because all ITEMIDs contain several "[" and "]"...
is there any possibility to contact fileds with such names by a JS or to rewrite a code
not to use this kind of naming fileds

You can change IDs to string from array, so there won't be issue with JS selector.
Before:

Code: Select all

<input class="txtFld" name="pages[<?php echo $k; ?>][pages_title]" type="text" id="pages[<?php echo $k; ?>][pages_title]" value="<?php echo $v['pages_title']; ?>" />

After:

Code: Select all

<input class="txtFld" name="pages[<?php echo $k; ?>][pages_title]" type="text" id="pages_<?php echo $k; ?>_pages_title" value="<?php echo $v['pages_title']; ?>" />

I'll keep this in mind for next release. Let me know if this solves your issue.

Hi,
I was indeed in a similar situation like this and I used java script code to create temporary form and send the data as expected by the php. since I don't want to change the php code which was already working properly. thanks very much for the information.

Thank you!
