More Info Links to New Chronoform Connection but.....

pmsquillace 03 Jul, 2009
Hello all:

I made a display of columns of what I want to show in my results like this crude layout show below.

col 1 col 2 col 3

data data data

At the end of it, I made a "More Information" Link so that people can get more information on that line of data.

So I make a new connection and start to lay out what I want people to see, however, it dawned on me.

How do people see JUST that users information, I mean, what variable do I use to show cf_user_id 's info only?

I tried looking around the forums but could not find this anywhere.

Any advice or help on this would be great.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to make this More Information work?

Thanks for any help on this,

Hi Paul,

One solution would be to have the More Info link connect to a ChronoForm using the Profile Plugin - you'd need to add the appropriate cf_user_id to the link url. If I've understood the problem that should work OK.

Hi Bob,

Yeah, but if I have like 300 entries, I would have to do this like 300 times.

I was kind of hoping to have something more streamlined where people can see more info in the db with out me having to make a link for each one.

Is this something that can be done?

Hi Paul,

I'd expect to build the link in the Body section of ChronoConnectivity using a little PHP which will repeat for each record. Here's an example - this one displays detail in a smoothbox but the principle is the same:
<td><a href="http://etude.greyhead.net/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=cc_show_schools&task=extra&height=500&width=400&tmpl=component&ls_id={ls_id}" title="<b>{cLsName}</b>" class="smoothbox" id='{ls_id}' >Vue</a>
<div id="cccontent_{ls_id}_tip" style="display: none;">{cLsName} :: </div></td>

Thanks Bob,

Hopefully you will be online later when i screw this all up. LOL

I will post here what I come up with and with instructions for other in case they need it as well.
