Hi, This plugin is a great idea. I installed it but get this message when I try to run it.

2017-02-10T08:23:40 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/xxxxxxxxx/.qgis2/python/plugins\AutoForm\autoform.py", line 62, in handleFormofLayer self.identifyRelations(selected_layer) File "C:/Users/xxxxxxxxx/.qgis2/python/plugins\AutoForm\autoform.py", line 116, in identifyRelations cur = self.connector.uriDatabaseConnect(uri) File "C:/Users/xxxxxxxxx/.qgis2/python/plugins\AutoForm\connector.py", line 32, in uriDatabaseConnect QMessageBox.warning(self.iface.mainWindow(), "Connection Error", "Failed to connect to database. Please make sure that your connection information is correct.") AttributeError: Connector instance has no attribute 'iface'

Any ideas of what this means and why it may be happening?

Hello maleechick

It turns out I made a mistake in the code and forgot to properly pass the iface variable to the connector instance. Presumably there was a problem with your connection variables and when the program tried to display the message box to tell you this, it crashed. This problem should be fixed now, but there may still be something wrong with the connection. I have pushed a newer version which you can try out instead.

Thanks for the feedback. I have updated my installation of the plugin and now I get no error. BUT, perhaps my expectations are not what they should be. When I run the plugin I simply get a message box that says "Form widgets were successfully changed". I thought that I was going to get a form that I could use to change attributes of the data in the selected layer. I don't know what 'form widgets' are or which ones have been changed. Johanna

That is correct, it is only the form widgets which are changed in this version. The plugin failed to connect to the database but it still went ahead and changed whatever other fields it could.
