[html-formfu] newbieFormFu error

[Manu Kaul]

Hi Carl,Yeah I had a problem with my Controller file where I was doing :

use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
AND
use base 'Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu';

So I got rid of the first one and use the HTML::FormFu one instead.

I went ahead and changed my config file to add.yml with just the basic YAML
format that is shown on the advancedCRUD tutorial. I then had a problem
where it could not find the YAML file because the path was wrong. What I did
not realize was that if my Controller was called "MyApp.pm" then I cannot
call my config dir as "root/forms/MyApp/add.yml" instead it would have to be
"root/forms/myapp/add.yml"!

So fixed that as well. Now I don't get any errors but when I view the form
nothing appears on the screen at all. Its blank. How do I go about
debugging? I checked the logs but there was nothing there. It said it was
hitting my add.tt2 file to render.. which does have XHTML in it.


Cheers,
Manu

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
