CF8 equivalent to Connectivity6 Events (row buttons & bulk loop)

Question

Hi Max,

I’m confused about how CF8 replaces what CF6 called “Events”. I understand Functions and Views, but I can’t see the “event” layer.

In CF6, a button had an Event that wired up the view and the function. In CF8, what’s the right way to:

add a row-level button to copy a row, delete it, open a form/page, or save edits for that single row?
save multiple rows via a loop (bulk) from a Table/List?

CF6 had a great Dynamic actions demo table that showed all of this. Could you share the CF8 equivalent (an export/demo), or point me to the exact tutorials/docs for these tasks?

Thanks a lot, Elita

Hi Max,

First off - huge thanks for CF8, really loving it! 🙌

One thing that I think could still use a boost is the user manual.

So I’m sharing this form here as an example for others who might still be “stuck” in CF6/CCv6 mode like I was. After some FAQ/Forum-digging, I managed to build a CF8 table form that can:

publish/unpublish
edit specific fields in a row
copy a DB row
delete a DB row

All done with standard Data Read / Data Save actions.

Form is attached - any tips to make it leaner or more elegant would be awesome.

Now I’d really value your input on a few questions:

How does this work when each row starts with a checkbox like select[{var:row.id}]?
- How do I save just one selected row?
- How do I save multiple rows in a loop?
- what would be the setting for Select All?
Which of these actions do you think could (or should) be replaced with AJAX, and how would that be done?

Thanks again for all your work - CF8 really makes a difference!

Cheers, Elita
