Query Builder Request

[treed]

I just spent a bunch of time rebuilding a complicated where clause that was overwritten when I opened the query builder without remembering that I had manually entered changes. I understand it would be really difficult to make a bi-directional query builder, however it might be pretty easy to just look at the length of the stored query for the browse screen vs. the one stored for the query builder and let the user know they are/maybe about to overwrite something important.

treed,

Thanks for your input. Inputs help improve nuBuilder!

I think it can easily be done by checking the current sql with the one from the SQL Builder. If they don't match, show a warning.

In the meantime, add this snippet in the (Setup ->) Header (Click Save and log in again to test it).

Code: Select all

function nuOnLoad() {
	if (nuCurrentProperties().form_id == 'nuselect') {
		var s = $("textarea[id='sfo_browse_sql']", window.parent.document);
		if (s.length == 1) {
			if (s.val() !== $('#sse_sql').val()) {
				nuMessage([nuTranslate('<b>Caution!</b><br>The Browse SQL was changed manually and will be overwritten when changes are made.')]);
			}
		}  
	}
}

treed,

Setting SQL to Edit Manually will stop this from happening
