Best Practice Recommendation for Data Display/Filtering

Greets,

We have a need to provide additional functionality to the ChronoForms admin table record list view. A client has expressed a need for a search/filter box, and also a need for clickable headers for table sorting. Additionally a need to change the default sorting so that more recent entries are on the first screen.

I'm looking for best practice recommendations on how to either:

a) add sorting and filtering to the ChronoForms data listing view without altering CF code

or

b) use ChronoConnectivity to provide back-end data viewing with filtering/searching as above

Trying to avoid building a custom admin component to look at the data if we don't have to.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Brad

Hi bkelley,

Unless this is a disposable address I suggest that you don't use your email as a username here as it is publicly visible. PM me if you'd like to me to change it to something else.

Which version of ChronoForms are you using?
You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6/1.7/2.5.
