hi all

I have a table in database, only 2 fields, ID and name, this table need update frequently, so I'd like user be able to update (new, edit & delete) it by themselves.

Is it possible to use breezingform/content builder to achieve this?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use ContentBuilder or BreezingForms for this.

If you are going to use BF you will need the BF integrator. here are some useful links:
crosstec.org/en/support/online-documenta...update-tutorial.html
crosstec.org/en/support/online-documenta...-the-integrator.html

And if you are using CB you will need to create a data storage based on a DB table. Afterwards you need to create a view with new, edit, delete.. permissions. Here are some tuts:


Hope this helps.

hi Lovre

1. by BF, I created a form but it generate duplicate subrecord every time user input it, I saw there were few post about this problem but no answer.

2.by CB, firstly, the storage table is limited inside joomla database but my talbe outside joomla db,
mysql database
\product_series (this is my original table outside joomla db)
\joomla\a_product_series ( this is the storage table by cb)
\joomla\j25_...
\joomla\j25_...

secondly, it show all records already in the table but only can edit new input records, it say "You are not allowed to edit this/these record(s)" when try to edit old records.
(solved by uncheck the option in {Force permissions on owner })

thirdly, how to enlarge the width of input text when edit it? No matter how I changed the cell / column / table prosperity width with "width:100px" or "width:150%" the text field width keep no change.




thanks

Hey,

1. If you use BF by it self it will make duplicate records in the database for every submission, but if you use the BF Integrator you can keep just one record for all submissions. Although you are limited to Joomla! tables only here also.

2. This is true, you can only use Joomla! tables.

About your field width question... You can Go to your CB> Views> Your View> Find you element and click the "text" link in the editable column (see attachment 1). Now go to the Script tab and under the Init (JS) write some code like this:
#cb_2 being the id of the input field. You can find out your field id by inspecting the element in the edit phase (see attachment 2).

Please let us know if this works for you.

Hi, Lovre

it says "The value of the property 'jQuery' is null or undefined, not a Function object"

But I found input 300% into the length of element in the Option tab next to the Script tab, It works! the text input area did expand.



Thanks
