I need to open 4 different forms with event "edit" in chronoconnectivity

I've created a new event "newedit" formname:load and I've created a link in "front list"

The link is running ok and opens FORM. But doesnt pass the array with data

If i put "edit" instead "newedit" then the form reads the array.

I understand that a new event doesnt pass chronoconnectivity array?

Can I create different events like EDIT ?????

Thank, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Yes, only the "edit" action reads the data by default, but you can still read it manually for other actions using a "DB Read" action.

Hi Thomas,

You first need to define the action under the "Actions" section in your Connection.

Then setup the action permissions.

Then set the action to call a specific form event:

form_name:form_event

Then in your form, add a new event, name it "form_event" and use the "db read".

Did you check the CCv5 tutorials under the FAQs ?

Max,
Reading this thread it is not clear to me what you mean with "db read". Bob is referring to it as well in this post. How and where should I code it and how/where can I invoke it and do something with its results?

Hi Johan,

The 'DB Read' is a ChronoForms action - in the Data Management actions group that is used to read one (or many) records from a database table (or linked tables). The action adds the data to the $form->data[''] array - once it is there you can use Custom Code action to process it; use a Custom Code element to display it; or link it into the Dynamic Data tabs or Select or Checkbox group elements.
