How to EDIT DATA_RECORD

hELO,

im new in chronoconnectivity, i just want to edit my data but when i click edit nothings happen it only a blank screen has shown. IS there someone has a code? Tnx

Jan

Hi Jan,

the code depends on your table and how do you want it to look so you need to make it, you need to put this code in the frontend permissions tab, the frontend edit template code box!

What i want is, in my connectivity if im going to click the edit option, all the data will be editable like for example if i have a data field name like, name, address, gender,birtdate,telephone. then it happens that i misspelled my name so i want to changed it, so how im goint to do this? i hope you get what i mean. tnx.

Hi jan,

all depends on your table fields names, give me some fields names from the table you are connected to.

e.g: you table has 3 fields : id,name,hits, so your edit code can be :

<input type="hidden" name="id">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="hits">

ok heres my sample table fields name, ID,FirstName,LastName,Gender,BirthDate,Addressline1,addressline2,City,Zipcode and more. So how im going to do that, and where im going to put the code?
thnx so much

jan

ok, replace my 3 fields names in the code above with some of your fields names and add it in the "frontend edit template" and set the permissions and add some text for the edit link in the general tab too, and save!

Helo Max,

Here is my screen shot:

Good, you didn't set permissions for the edit!!

I need to see the bottom area of the general tab as well!

Thank you Payne.. You answered my question on how to make data editable on frontend.. I couldn't find it in tutorial..

This thread seems hang.. So I decided to give some basic tips for new chrono connectivity user..

What jan miss is, he did not put any code in 'body' under 'general tab' and maybe he also not entered any text in 'edit link code' under 'general tab'.. Other things he miss is to select 'Editors user Groups' under 'front permissions tab'..

Here I give a sample for this matter..
In 'header' under 'general tab':

<h3>Employer Data</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Company</td>
<td>Contact Person</td>
<td></td>
</tr>

in 'body' under 'general tab':

<tr>
<td>{company_name}</td>
<td>{contact_person}</td>
<td>{edit_record}</td>
</tr>

in 'footer' under 'general tab':

</table>
{pagination}

in ''edit link code' under 'general tab':
edit

in 'record edit template' under 'front permission':

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Company:</td><td><input type="text" name="company_name" size="50" value=""></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Contact Person:</td><td><input type="text" name="contact_person" size="50" value=""></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="">
