using inline edit disables forms php plugin

[p38]

I use form php plugins quite extensively to update fields etc after a form is submitted.

The form plugin is attached to the "on before submission" event.

I have always assumed that when using inline edits, the php plugin will be called when the edit is saved, but I notice this is not the case.

What must be configured in order to ensure form php plugins are executed when the inline edit elemnt value is saved?

I suspect it's a code issue, not a configuration issue.

As we explained when you started using the inline edit, it's very much Work In Progress, and sometimes what should be obvious things it should do, it doesn't.

I've raised an issue on this one:

Inline edit not kicking off form plugins? ? Issue #693 ? Fabrik/fabrik ? GitHub

I just checked and for me the PHP plugin events are called. I created a form php plugin with this code:

echo "here";
exit;

that updates the cell with the text "here".
What specifically are you trying to do in the php plugin?

Your test works, however, if I run my code (updates other tables) it does not run using inline edit, BUT it does run when I edit the record via a form.

So I know my code is working.

The only grey area is the updateFormData, which might not be availbale when using inline edit. If not, how do I get around this?

include_once('cdslib/cds.mysql.class.php');

// connect to implayer
$dbconnect = new MySQL(true, "implayer_db", "xxxxx", "yyyyy", "zzzzzzz");
if ($dbconnect->Error()) {
//echo $dbconnect->Error();
}
else
{
//where criteria
$display = "'{im_slideshow___display}'";

// get config dataset
$autoupload = $dbconnect->QuerySingleValue("select auto_upload from im_clients where display = ".$display);

//echo $autoupload;

if ($autoupload == 'yes')
{
$formModel->updateFormData('im_slideshow___download','yes', true);
}

$dbconnect->Close();

}

I'm not sure that placeholders will be available here. Could you try replacing '{im_slideshow___display}'with a test value to see if that works?
what out put did you get for the query? what was $autoupload set to?
