Hello,
I am a newbie and trying to follow the DB Multi Record Loader tutorial. however I am using the chronoforms module to display the form. this means the URL does not contain the token parameter as the defined in the tutorial. Therefore you can query the table for the cf_uid is this is not appear in the URL. Can the DB Multi Record Loader be used inside the module?
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul,
As long as you can find a way to pass a variable to it I think it will work OK. If the URL won’t work you could use the User session.

Hello Bob,
I am making progress and I think this solution could work. One anomaly when displaying a list form in a module using the DB multi loader is that when you click the edit link to display the details form you leave the page where the module is displayed. You are presented with a new page. Submit and back buttons return you to the previous page so it is not a "show stopper". Is it possible to remain within the module when you are editing?
Thanks & Regards
Paul
Hi Paul,
If the form URL is set to Relative then it should try to return you to the same URL as the form was submitted from. That said, multi-paging in a module is not simple and straightforward. Do you need to use a module for the list?

Hello Bob,
It is set to relative already. I think this is the way joomla is working. When you edit from the list form it stays on the same page ie in joomla context the same menu ID however the contents of the page are replaced by the module. So if you have a content article and the Chrono module on the same page when you edit from the list form, the detail form replaces the content article. When you submit you return to the article with the module shown correctly. I think I can go with this functionality I just needed to understand that our works.
Thanks For your help
Regards
Paul
