ActiveGrid
UTF8 codec error
Hello
I'm having some trouble with the blob MySQL data field and images. I have some existing image data from a MySQL database when I try and display this data I get the error
"UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 3574-3576: invalid data"
When I try and insert data into the field I get the error
"'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: unexpected code byte"
Loss of Session when Accessing Entry Point
I have an activegrid project that I have to log into. Once I've logged in, I have a page that links to an external URL. Then on the external URL, I have another link back to an Entry Point within the ActiveGrid project.
The problem is that sometimes the session is lost when I click the link to the entry point. It only happens sometimes. Other times it works fine. The link in the external URL performs the following action to go back to the Entry Point:
Dynamic Role Definitions
We have Role based security setup in our Active Grid project. It seems that we must define each available Role in the XACML file BEFORE compiling and running.
The problem is that if we add a user with a role that was not defined, that user seems to have access to everything (I would have thought they would have access to NOTHING, but that's not the case).
This is a major problem for us because part of our application allows for the creation and use of new roles by the admin role.
Enforce Required Fields Not Working
I have a page that I cannot get "Enforce Required Fields" to work for a text box. The setting is set to "True", but the submit button process just continues.
I also tested and found that the server side validation does not occur at all when the field is blank ( I tried with the validation of 1 != 1, and this should always fail, but it does not).

Sorting on Paginating Grid
Hi,
It seems that when using the sorting functionality of the Paginating Grid, the data is retrieved from the database on every sort. Is there any way to stop this, so the sort functionality will just sort the data that's in the grid without retrieving it from the database again?
Thanks,
zak
Label Postion
Hi,
I have a form that is was created from the list template. There is a paginated grid that has a bunch of columns. One of the columns has a label that is almost the exact length of the column. What happens is that the header gets moved up as if the text were going to wrap to the next line, but all of th text is on one line and it looks weird (see attached screenshot).

Validation Message Not Displaying
I have a validation lookup on a text input, but the validation message doesn't appear when validation fails. I have other pages in the same project that work fine, but for some reason, the message doesn't appear on this one. The validation works, but if the check fails, nothing happens. the xform is attached.
please advise.

Changing or hiding the root page message after successful server install
When one navigates to the root of a successful ActiveGrid server installation, you see this message:
Congratulations! If you are seeing this page, it means the installation of the ActiveGrid Server was successful.
Is that a static page that can be edited? I would like to change it or hide it.
