preEdit and multiple editing

tangerine

Hi Allan.
I suspect that this post
https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/39926
may be related to a recent problem of mine, whereby preEdit passes values to a function which creates a new field and gives it a composite value. Multiple editing always only uses the result of the first composite created.
Was there any further action in that thread?

Bump.

Hi,

I clean missed this thread - sorry! I know we resolved it by e-mail, but for anyone else who reads this, we ended up using a PHP pass by reference for the values object passed into the events so they could be modified in the event handler.

Hi @allan, @tangerine,

I'm having the preEdit/multiple editing issue with logging data changes as well.

I'm using the code from this post:
https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/46968/robust-audit-logging

But the $prevValues are always from the same record.

I thought using $prevValues as a global variable would be essentially the same as passing it by reference, but maybe not.

Any thoughts on how I could improve this to update the $prevValues?
