Re: Customising DB_DataObjects Formbuilder

I dont really get ya here, i dont think its gonna do what i need, i may need to get the links dynamically, it also seems to wanna display the pirmary keys too :| What I am attempting of doing is building a class say data manager , i build a config array of the tables i want to edit then for each table i can display its contents to edit, these tables are for displaying information int he list menus for the parent table. So this is for the user to manage what is displayed in the menus. so manage.php?table=departments will load up the DO departments, display a list of the data then manage.php?table=departments&action=edit&id=1 will load the table data.

Hi there, I am looking at using formbuilder for starters I am wanting to build a frontend editor, to manage data in all the list menus of a form. This table is in seperate tables. They all have foreign key relations however formbuilder is treating them as text and not displaying a pulldown , any ideas ?

You need to set $fb_linkDisplayFields = array('domain'); // when in a select, show domain name in the 'destination' DataObject and $fb_linkDisplayFields = array('client', 'domain'); // client and domain are ID's from elsewhere in the DO definition where you link from. It took me a while to figure that out last week, but when I did, I can write a basic form to database in a matter of minutes, based on what I've done thus far - mostly by just changing the names in the DO::factory calls Alister -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
