Re: [Tiki-devel] Tracker execution

Hi Eutyche,

handleSave is a special tracker field method that is called when saving 
a tracker item which is done in trackerlib->replace_item. Major tracker 
item save operations go through that method to save the item. There are 
small exceptions when things are updated directly in database but these 
should really be used with caution.

Use a debugger to step through the code when saving a tracker item - it 
will be easier to understand. Also, turn on 'legacy insert screen' 
option for trackers which will allow you to see any output of var_dumps 
and other debugging code when saving the item (otherwise you get 
redirected from the modal and don't see any output).

HTH,
Victor
