I've got a "smart table" (using
the class/template/sheet method). My problem arises when a user clicks
on the button to add a new "object" (which is a really a new
page with an object on it, based on the template, etc.). The page
comes up and allows the user to edit, as expected. However, if the
user takes "too long" (I haven't pin down an exact amount of
time yet -- but 5 minutes seems to suffice) filling out the form, then,
when they hit save, the page is created, but the object is nowhere to be
found. As you can imagine, the users a bit miffed by this. The
problem is exacerbated by the fact that no error is generated. The
user thinks things worked, until they go back to the table to find their
entry isn't present.
Any thoughts on what to do here? Is
there a way to increase the timeout or something? At the moment,
I've put a note that they should just save the page very quickly and then
go back and edit after the fact, which seems to work, but is pretty ugly.
