[TinyOWS-users] Problem inserting new features

[Nicolas Ardissono]

I had the same problem, and you have two options to solve it. Because is 
a field order problem.

Check with pgadmin how your fields are orderer, you have first name and 
then the_geom, so tinyows doesn't except anything after the_geom. What i 
do was delete the name field and create it again so it will be after 
the_geom as tinyows expect, with that it works for me.


Or you can try this script that supouse to order fields, but not always 
work:


/**
  * @requires OpenLayers/Strategy.js
  */

/**
  * Allow to force the ordering of attributes before saving
  *
  * @class
  */
OpenLayers.Strategy.SaveAttrOrder =
   OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Strategy,
{

   /**
    * Order of attributes to save.
    *
    * Only the attributes listed here will be saved!
    *
    * @type {Array.<string>}
    */
   order: [],

   /**
    * Strategy to communicate with for save operation
    *
    * @type {OpenLayers.Strategy.Save}
    */
   saveStrategy: null,

   /**
    * APIMethod: activate
    * Activate the strategy.  Register any listeners, do appropriate setup.
    *
    * Returns:
    * {Boolean} The strategy was successfully activated.
    */
   activate: function() {
     var activated = OpenLayers.Strategy.prototype.activate.call(this);
     if (activated) {
       this.saveStrategy.events.on({
           start: this.beforeSave,
           scope: this
       });
     }
     return activated;
   },

   /**
    * APIMethod: deactivate
    * Deactivate the strategy.  Unregister any listeners, do appropriate
    *     tear-down.
    *
    * Returns:
    * {Boolean} The strategy was successfully deactivated.
    */
   deactivate: function() {
     var deactivated = OpenLayers.Strategy.prototype.deactivate.call(this);
     if(deactivated) {
       this.saveStrategy.events.un({
           start: this.beforeSave,
           scope: this
       });
     }
     return deactivated;
   },

   beforeSave: function(event) {
     var features = event.features;
     features.forEach(dojo.hitch(this, 'reorderFeature'));
   },

   reorderFeature: function(feature) {
     var obj = {};
     this.order.forEach(
         function(attr) {
           if (feature.attributes.hasOwnProperty(attr)) {
             obj[attr] = feature.attributes[attr];
           }
         });
     feature.attributes = obj;
   }




Hope this help
