Edit window does not show values

Edit window does not show values but it saves to database.

I don't understand. Are you saying nothing appears when you type into the form's input fields? Please give a better explanation.

Values of the row does not show up in the edit form (by clicking edit). But when you type in the field, it updates in the database

Something doesn't look right. In the background it looks like you have a row selected but the table info states "Showing 0 to 0....". Can you provide a link to your code showing the issue?

If not maybe you can start with posting your Javascript code.

Hi kthorngren,

I already fixed the error which states "Showing 0 to 0....". But the values still doesn't show up.

allan

Can you remove the ajax.dataSrc function please. You shouldn't need that when using the Editor PHP libraries and I think it will be doing more harm than good when using server-side processing.

But the values still doesn't show up.

Do you mean that the edit modal shows, but there are no values in the inputs? Could you link to the page showing the issue so I can help to debug it please?

Thanks,
Allan

Hi Allan.

I removed the ajax.dataSrc function and changed the way of populating my datatable. Now, its working.

Thanks,
Van
