the concept of this module is incredible, and is exactly the kind of generalisable node multi edit that has been missing from Drupal!

the only problem is that it doesn't really allow me to edit my CCK nodes in a meaningful way since nodereference fields do not get displayed on the edit page. the title for the field is printed, but there a select box is not populated for nodereferences. perhaps this is a problem with recent updates to the way nodereference works?

Oohhh, I was so close do getting everything working. Then I noticed that the node reference field isn't showing on my editview.

:(

In the example that is provided on the editview module page. How can one who is entering an organization also add an employee to the organization? How can the employee be related to organization if you aren't able to select the employees node reference field?

What happens is, all the employees are displayed on just one organization node page. The employees aren't separated into their organizations because there is no way for someone to select the organization because it is a node reference field that isn't displayed on the editview.

I hope that makes sense.

Does anybody know a way to get around this? Would this be a hard fix?

Thanks for your help.

This #3 patch gives me better results.

Yet, using cck_taxonomy_ssu fields, I sometimes get the first level terms to select, sometimes I can't select any...

In the editview_5.x-0.3-patch98363#3-missingChild.png snapshot below, you'll see:

The "Compagnie" cck_taxonomy_ssu field: no terms is shown in dropdown.

  • ccktssu field settings:
  • Non Obligatory,
    Multiple values,
    Allow (disallow uncheck) freetagging at the top level of the vocabulary,
    Disallow freetagging on leaf terms,
    Don't display parent terms as selectable form items,
    Add used terms as node tags

  • ("Compagnie" vocabulary settings: Hierarchy disabled, Freetagging, Multiple choice, Non obligatory)

The "Choregraphe" cck_taxonomy_ssu field: only first level terms are shown in dropdown (there should be other child terms under "Autres chorégraphes" and "disciples", parents terms which are shown above the dropdown list.

  • ccktssu field settings:
  • Obligatory,
    Multiple values,
    Allow (disallow uncheck) freetagging at the top level of the vocabulary,
    Allow (disallow uncheck) freetagging on leaf terms,
    Don't display parent terms as selectable form items,
    Add used terms as node tags

  • ("Choregraphe" vocabulary settings: Hierarchy disabled, NO-Freetagging, Multiple choice, Obligatory)

I cannot see the relations all thoses settings and possible consequences yet...

---
By the way, you'll notice that even in a compressed view, help infos are displayed and enlarge the view, while the ccktssu form items -the very practical checkboxes- have been replaced by the dropdown.

I understand that it would be meaningless to have hundreds of checkboxes, but what I thought before trying the editview module was that it would show only once every field all the nodes of the view, a bit the way the image_import.module does it (eventhough it's not a view):
See below: admin-content-image_import.png

(i wonder where to file this as a bug?)

just a thought. On many of our cck nodes, the nodereference field is optional, if there is no input will this effect validation?

-------from editview documentation-------
"Caveat 2

You should include any 'required' fields in the view, otherwise adding new nodes will be impossible, since any nodes you try to add will fail their validation."

The main issue should now be fixed in CVS (DRUPAL-6--1 branch). I suspect this is also not an issue for Drupal 5 anymore, but if it is, it will probably not be fixed.

Note that for Drupal 6 you need to patch CCK for the moment: see #1037460: Make several cck edit forms on one page work for details or editview/patches/cck/README.txt
