Autosaver & hidden fields

  • Hi !

    I have an hidden input field in my form, whose value is changing dynamically.

    The problem is that the form is not autosaved when that hidden field is changed. My guess is that there’s no ‘change’ event triggered for Sisyphus to know what to do …

    The only solution i was thinking of was to set a very short timeout to Sisyphus, so the form would be saved every pair of seconds. But it seams hardcoded in the js file of your plugin (no timeout option = autosave on change only), an not hookable or something.

    Do you think you (or i) can do something ?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    From what I understand, you need to save fields that stores dynamically, is that right?

    Could you please explain how will your solution fix this? You mean you want the plugin to work after a delay so your dynamic content would be populated already?

    There’s 2 way sisyphus can trigger save of the form :
    – by default (option timeout=0), when a field value is changed (change event on the field)
    – by setting timeout to X : the form is saved every X seconds

    So i was suggesting that you could add an option in your plugin to chose between the 2 methods.

    By the way, i can also trigger the change event myself on the hidden fields and that should do the job (not tried yet but theoretically an other solution).

    Hi tameroski,

    I see what you mean, I may include that option in the next plugin update.

    Thanks for your suggestion ??
