 Using the Editor

I have spent another 5 hours making changes using the built-in Editor. And, once again, lost them all.

If I remove a line on the List Page, (containing a Legend and Field),

it seems to remove the {End Name_fieldcolumn}

but leaves the {Begin Name_fieldcolumn}.
Then when I run the program, I get the dreaded LOADING error graphic.
Is the missing {End Name_fieldcolumn} causing the problem?

If so, then why doesn't the Editor remove it automatically?

You need to post your application to Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL. 'Demo Account' button can be found on the last screen in the program.
Editor doesn't remove any markup on it's own.

I did that two days ago.

Ticket 223154
And, honestly, I've done it before too.
When I delete a line, it sometimes removes HALF of the markup pair. All versions have done this to me.
What I've wanted to see was a TUTORIAL that explains what you can, and can't do in the Editor. If I drag and drop a data field, then it blows up. If I delete a line, then it goes into LOADING infinity. Do you need individual tags for each column? Can you just have one for the entire Form? Those would be good answers to have. Thanks.

I agree totally, a detailed tutorial on the editor would be a boon. More than once I have had to copy the raw HTML from the editor, take it into a stand-alone editor (TopStyle) and completely hand-craft pages the way I want them to appear. Dragging and dropping in WYSIWYG is a nice theory, but it's real easy to blow things up.

A more detailed "article" along the lines of this one would be good reading. (with Screen Shots!!)

Tutorial that gets closet is 'How to build advanced webforms' at http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/php-database.htm. It covers Edit/Add forms modification only however it can give you a basic idea of how to use the editor.
I have to add that understanding what exactly causes the trouble may not be obvious on this side of the pipe. I would really appreciate if you can supply more details on how things go wrong in Visual Editor.
Bill, if you can send us project directory zipped along with your database and a couple of screenshots that explain "I remove a line on the List Page, (containing a Legend and Field)" part - we can reproduce it and either fix it in PHPRunner or suggest a workaround.
The same applies to detailed tutorial you asking for. Give me more details and we'll help you.

The url you had in the previous post had a . at the end and it would not allow you to go to the tutorials.

I finally got the screen to work properly and I've been able to edit it many times since then.
The trick, as Jane posted in a ticket back to me, is to

...switch to HTML mode and remove all {BEGIN FieldName_fieldcolumn} and {END FieldName_fieldcolumn} tags.


Finally some stability and I can move forward. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=55277&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
((Sergey, If I get time, I might do a step-by-step build in order to demonstrate the problem. But now I'm about two weeks behind and need to catch up first.))
