Comments for This Entry
Thanks again Jason for an excellent series.
I took the source code today and tried to replicate the site. Everything works great, except that it does not retrieve my list after I log out and log back in. I checked the db and all the data is there, it's just not being pulled into the page for some reason. I noticed someone else in Chris's comments experienced the same thing. Any thoughts?
btw - Missoula is great! I'm originally from Great Falls and lived in Missoula from 1988-93 while at UM. We get up there every few years to visit friends and enjoy the outdoors.

@Gary:
If the list items aren't showing up, check your database. If the items are saving, but not displaying, try running the query from getListItemsByUser() in class.lists.inc.php — see if that fails; it might be an inconsistency in your DB tables.
If that's not the problem, try setting the onSuccess and onError callbacks in lists.js to see if the AJAX calls are failing somehow. If you've got Firebug installed, you could just use console.log() to avoid a bunch of annoying alert boxes.
Please let me know what you find! Thanks!
