How To Edit Backend Data

nikkie 29 Jun, 2009
I see submitted form data goes to the connected DB table and I also see how to view that data, but how does one edit the submitted data from the backend?

Hi nikkie, this one is done using ChronoConnectivity!

I'm not sure about that route. It seems a long way to go when you just want to edit submitted data and you're already staring at it. I don't understand the concept of throwing one marginal use component on top of another. Imagine the table has a Boolean field called 'approved' and you just want to set it to true following review. Doesn't it seems logical to have bidirectional data on the back end?

I tried ChronoConnectivity. Each attempt at saving a connection, even a simple one field specification ends in the following:

TableChronoConnectivity::store failed - Unknown column 'OnSaveJSCode' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_chronoconnectivity` ( `id`,`name`,`tablenames`,`SQL`,`head`,`body`,`footer`,`OnSaveJSCode`,`paramsall`,`Config` ) VALUES ( '0','Test','jos_chronoforms_test','','','','','if(0){ \r\n } else {\r\n submitform( pressbutton );\r\n }','ordersql=\nfrontfilters=\nposted=\ngeted=\nheading=Test\nenmambots=No\nlistlimit=25\ndeletelink=Delete Record\neditlink=Edit Record\nnewlink=New Record\nfront_edit_form=Test\neditform=Test\nprimarykey=cf_id\nauthedit_groups=25\nauthdelete_groups=25\nauthnew_groups=25\nauthedit_users=62\nauthdelete_users=62\nauthnew_users=62','dataviewtitles=Text\ndataview=text_0' )

I have the latest ChronoForms installed.

Hi nikkie,

Connectivity lets you do alot of things and not just editing, adding any feature of this to Chronoforms would make it much harder and we want to keep things simple for those who don't want this!

unfortunately the current release of Connectivity has this bug which has an easy fix here in the forums, you may do a quick search to find it or wait some hours till I release the new Connectivity version!

Thanks! I'll check that out. I do like the concept of ChronoConnectivity! It's a great idea underneath.
