list-min.js error when creating new list template

[sjenkinsdc]

I'm creating a new list template and am getting this .js error from list-min.js:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getElement' of null

I can't figure out which element it is looking for that is causing the error because of the minification. How can I fix this?

In fabrikoptions "Debugging" you can set Allow fabrikDebug=DebugJS, this will load un-minified JS files.

Thanks Troester - I'm fairly new to fabrik. Can you tell me where 'fabrikoptions Debugging' is?

 

[sjenkinsdc]

I found it:
System >> Global Configuration >> fabrik >> Debugging tab

Thanks! I'll see what I can learn from the unminified list js.

Fabrik "Options" also can be accessed in the right upper corner if you are on a fabrik site.

Ok - so I discovered that removing the form from the list template causes a js error here in list.js:

watchNav: function (e) {
var limitBox = this.form.getElement('select[name*=limit]');
.
.
.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getElement' of null

Does this mean I have to maintain a form even if I don't need one?

If you want to use a fabrik list with fabrik list functionality your list template must keep the overall structure.
You should start with a copy of an existing fabrik list template (if you are modifying a template coming with fabrik your modifications will be overridden by the next update).

What do you want to achieve?

I want to create a new list layout with a google map on the same page using the same list data. I have watched this vid:

and read this: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/creating-a-custom-list-template/

I'm copying the code to a new template folder so it won't get overwritten.

I don't need anything that requires the form, so I removed it. I can add it back to avoid the js errors I suppose.
