Insert/Create Form - cache previous entry

[ChrisG]

I am using DaDaBIK version 5.1.2 ENTERPRISE, installed on 01-07-2014, the last version of DaDaBIK is 5.1.2 released on 07-23-2013

I am runnning the last release of DaDaBIK

PHP Version: 5.3.3

mysql version: 5.1.71-log

Web server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

Client: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36

I use dadabik as a frontend to my Inventory database where in some cases we are entering items in the inventory that are essentially the same except for the serial number. If possible, I would like to prevent my entry person's from having to re-fill out the same data over and over.

Best case scenario... I would like to have a checkbox to tick when I would like the insert form to retain the entries from the previous submission for repetitive data entries.

Next best thing if that is not really possible would be to retain/cache the previous form data without a choice (checkbox).

Hello Chris,
at the moment this feature is not available but it's interesting and we will evaluate the implementation for the next releases of DaDaBIK.

Cheers

Hi Eugenio,
I had this feature in the previous version before I upgraded (I think 4.12 Beta). At one point their was something on the (old) forum telling how to do this. Of course... it was not with a checkbox but it was with changing something in the code. I really would not know what I am looking for or where to look or I would go through the old configuration.

Any ideas in that regard... or what I might look for?
Thanks!

Hello,
yes maybe someone posted a hack but was not an official implementation; try to search in the old support forum posts.

Would you still happen to have a link to the old forum?

Euginio,
In going through the old formum posts I did find this>>>
http://www.dadabik.org/forum/read.php?1,4854,4854#msg-4854

I think it is the one I originally used... Do you think the code is still valid for this most recent version I have?

Thanks!!
Chris

Well... on second thought... that is a little different. That looks like it inserts the record.
All I want to do is populate the "create/insert" form with the data that was just entered so that I can change the serial number, etc before entering it.

Hello,
all the posts from the old forum has been imported in the new one; I am sorry but I don't know the hack you used to implement that modification.
