Parent Record Link then data display on front end?

Hi!

I'd like a parent link that would lead into a record to be displayed. That way I could use the whole page for one record if I wanted to make a in-depth display of the record.

Like we have it in admin section "Record 1" you click on it and the record appears. However I'd like the "Record Name" to potentially be a meaningful label.

After I accomplish this I'm going to work on adding a search capability.
I assume I'll have to use "How to add a Search to a Connectivity form!"

Maybe I should just start out with the search function. Then just build the form.. maybe that is enough.

Please point me in the right direction I believe my vocabulary is lacking for the forum search.

AND
Greyhead I was wrong Connectivity is really awesome once you get the feel for it. I apologize.

Hi Andrew,

ChronoConnectivity is the best way to display a list. Then you can use a 'View Details' link for each record either to switch to a detailed page or to show the details in a modal box. As I've said before I prefer the control of using custom URLs to do this rather than using the built-in ChronoConnectivity links.

You can show the record name easliy enough by building the url including the id and having the display text show the name (like any HTML link).

Search capability on ChronoConnectivity uses a mini-form in the Header box and some corresponding code in the WHERE box to en-act the filter.

Thank you, sir.

Hi Andrew,

I've started writing up some more formal docs for ChronoConnectivity and did the one on basic dynamic filters (form + Where SQL) yesterday. See here

Thank you for your diligence Bob!
