Field type plug-in stoped working after moving from editor 1.4.2 to editor 1.5.3

I have realized the problem with field type custom made plug-in after moving from editor 1.4.2 to 1.5.3.
Initial value of field is not set, and also it is not possible to write value to the db.
Here is the plug-in code which works well in version 1.4.2:

var Editor = $.fn.DataTable.Editor;
Editor.fieldTypes.uploader = $.extend( true, {}, Editor.models.fieldType, {
    // Create the HTML mark-up needed for input and add any event handlers needed
    "create": function ( field ) {
        field._enabled = true;
        field._input = $('<div class="DTE_Field_Type_upload" >'+
                            '<input id="'+field.id+'" type="text" style="width:80%"/>'+
                            '<a class="thickbox ui-button browse" data-type="ajax" href="/ajax.php?editorID='+field.id+'">Add file</a>'+
                        '</div>')[0];
        
        this.on( 'onOpen.uploader-'+field.id, function () {
            if ( field._initSetVal ) {
                $('#'+field.id).val( field._initSetVal );
            }else{
                $('#'+field.id).val( '' )
            }
        }); 
        return field._input;    
    },     
    // Get the field value
    "get": function ( field ) {
        return $('#'+field.id).val();
    },
  
    // Set the field value
    "set": function ( field,val ) {
        if ( ! field._enabled ) {
            field._initSetVal = val;
            return;
        }
        field._initSetVal = val;
        $('input#'+field.id).val(val);
    },
  
    // Enable the field
    "enable": function ( field ) {
 
    },
  
    // Disable the field
    "disable": function ( field ) {
 
    }
} );

Since this is a custom field plug-in, I'd need a link to a test case showing the issue please.

You can take a look at example at http://backend.front.rs/editor1.5.3/list.php

Fill out the field "file" and try to add/update, then refresh page.

Since this is just an example, file manager is not included (not important for this example).

It looks that the problem is somewhere on relation editor - jquery lib.

This is postgres sql, and also search is case sensitive which also should be changed.

When I click the "Add file" button I get an error shown in my browser's console:

GET http://backend.front.rs/editor1.5.3/list.php&random=1449057931030 404 (Not Found)

A modal window is shown which is just an empty white box.

Please just write down something in field "file" and try to add/update. Then refresh page and take a look at field "file" again.

I have explained before that file manager, opened in modal window is not important for this example.

It looks like the issue is due to how the get and set functions operate, plus the fact that you have a dot (.) in your field name - top_banners.file.

I would suggest using the $.fn.dataTable.Editor.safeId() method to handle this case. If you read the description of that method it explains what the issue is in your custom plug-in and how to handle it.

Thank you Allan,

This solved the problem related to the plug-in.
