Select list for parent does not show up in editview [#296744]

The select list for parent does not show up in editview. It sorts of defeats the purpose as new records are orphaned until the child record is editing using the normal interface.

Is there a work around for this problem?

I will upgrade to 5.x-0.3 to see if it is fixed.

Upgrading did not fix the problem and the one designed as a block also doesn't work, it is one designed as a page that works.

The one designed as a block does not exhibit the add, update and delete buttons.

I think I can help. I'm assuming the parent you're talking about is a node reference? I just ran into the same problem and there is a small patch to fix it. The patch is found herehttp://sundaysenergy.org/files/node-files/editview.diff. I just copied the text from that page and created a file called editview.patch and pasted the text in. Then ran this command on my linux machine 'patch -p0 < editview.patch'.

I also found that the ajax part did not work because one of the files was named form.js when it should have been jquery.form.js. I should point out that I didn't find it but stumbled upon a post by someone else that did, thank you bsuttis (http://drupal.org/node/215798#comment-717629). According to that page the issue is fixed "Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity". I'm assuming what they mean by "fixed" is that you can spend your time digging through the issue queue and figuring out how to fix it yourself, not that the issue has actually been fixed and properly updated, but whatever.

I'll attach the complete editview module with the patch applied and the correct filenames, etc. incase you have any issues with it.

I'm using drupal 5.9 and editview 5.x-0.3

Let me know if this works for you.

I have tried it and it seems to working well.

I tried so many workarounds that my editviews became a mess.

I will strip them all out to see how things work with the out of the box instructions with this patch applied.

Thanks

This 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 very probably not be fixed.
Note that 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
