Scaffolding & Reactor

[Vicky]

I have a couple Reactor/MG/Scaffolding questions, please...

1) When I scaffold, my LIST views are not showing me any columns that
are configured as primary keys within MSSQL.

I've narrowed it down to this line in the List.cfc template...

<<cfloop list="%Metadata.orderedPropertyList%"
index="variables.thisProp">>
<<cfif listFindNoCase(Metadata.primaryKeyList , thisProp) IS false
AND Metadata.properties[thisProp].relationship IS false >>
<!--- change here --->
<th>%spaceCap(thisProp)%</th>
<</cfif>>
<</cfloop>>

Apaprently, Transfer supports composite keys... and this line is
checking a list for said keys. Since I am using Reactor, I am not
sure from where I should be passing the primaryKeyList. Things work
the way I want when I remove that line from the template, but I'm
thinking there might be a more elegant way to manipulate the list
variable? I don't see primaryKeyList specified as a property in any
reference documentation. I might just need to be pointed to the right
reference.

---------------------

2) Is this or is this not a capability of scaffolding w/ Reactor. If
I have two tables...

TOPIC table (topicId, topicName)
ARTICLE table (articleId, topicId, articleName)

I want a scaffold generated form that allows user to create new record
thusly:

Topic Name ___________________
Article Name __________________

Upon submission of this form, both tables would have new related rows
created accordingly.
I have a feeling this is beyond the realm of scaffolding, and I still
need to go ahead and customize a query in the model.

I can configure relationships to the point where when I create a new
Topic, it will offer me a list of existing Article Names to choose
from for association.... but I can't get Scaffolding to let me create
both on the fly from one form.

Thanks

Are you saying you need to be able to ask Reactor for the (list of) primary
keys for a table ?
