Hello,
just received the Chronoforms Cookbook, very nice and good-looking, practical book, definitely better than scrolling through the 360 pages of the ebook version. I have worked through the tutorials and created a small intranet solution to archive songsheets for a church. It consist of two forms, one to collect songsheets information, the other to collect a list of composers that will be used as a dropdown field in the songsheets form.
Although quite time consuming to set-up the whole thing. The typo error “domReady” instead of “domready” in one of the tutorials took quite an amount of time being solved, the other was my fault as I wrote “filter_order_dir” instead of “filter_order_Dir”. Obviously it made the difference to make sortable columns working.
The one problem not solved yet is returning to the current page when editing a record. Pagination always returns to page 1. If I select a record on page 10 for editing, edit and save the record I would like to return to the current page 10 and not to page 1. How can this be done? I have basic php and mysql skills, can handle code snippets quite well, but not necessarily skilled in developing new code.
Some other questions:
Is it correct that I do not need to validate chronoforms/chronoconnectivity on localhost? Validation seems to work only on real web sites.
At first I made the two tables relational. That worked well in chronoforms, but in chronoconnectivity it seems impossible to create a listing with data from two different tables. Is that correct? In the songsheets listing I wanted to have only the composer_id and retrieve the composer_name from the composer-table. Didn’t find a solution for that.
Many thanks for a very good product.
Kind regards
