Different display whether I choose View Connection for the admin or view the connection from the site

[attachment=0]Screen Shot 2015-04-12 at 00.17.21.png[/attachment]In my quest to display rows that were save in a table in the database, I started giving a shot to CC since CF seems to be lacking in the area of displaying multiple database rows in a form. I've been following the connectivity posts in the CC FAQ but I hit a road block.

When I save my connection and then click the "View Connection" under "Admin List", everything more or less display correctly (I say more or less because I tried adding the infamous _PAGINATOR_NAV_ in the table header of the admin list but it refuses to show up).

So, like I said, when I try the connection from the connection list by clicking "View Connection" under "Admin List", it shows pretty much what I did configure.

However, if I click my site in the top right corner to display the site, then click the menu to display the connection, the db rows display but no column can be sorted and the Edit link doesn't show up at the end of the row. You can check the attached screenshots to have a better idea.

So, what is going on here?

Excuse the first screen shot at the beginning. That's my inexperience with the forum showing up.

I should have maybe mentioned that the first screen shot is what I get when I click "View Connection" under "Admin List" in the ChoronoConnectivy component.

The second screen shot shows the part I get on my website when I click the menu that is linked to display the connection.

Hi nemesyssoft,

I don't know much about the workings of CCv5 :-(

I think that the Front-end list and Admin list are separately defined lists. My guess is that the missing 'Edit' is a permissions problem (you are logged in for the admin view but possibly not for the Front-end view).

The Sortable headings could be a missing setting in the Front-End list; or a JavaScript error on the page?

Yeah, it was in the wee hours and realized the next day that my 2 lists were not exactly the same. That's what happens when you work too l ate :?
