In the list view, how to build a link to edit the item

[Jean]

Hi Steve,
I used renderCell() to modify the link. But I can't get the cursor value.

Code: Select all

function libelle__renderCell(&$record){

echo '<pre>';print_r($record);echo '</pre>';exit;
$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$query =& $app->getQuery();
$table =$query['-table'];
$cursor=$record->val('id_moyen');
$skip=$query['-skip'];
$cursor=$_REQUEST['-cursor'];
$limit=$query['-limit'];
$mode=$query['-mode'];

return '<a>'.$record->val('libelle').'</a>';
} 

How can I get it ?
Thank you
Jean

Hi Jean,

The cursor can be retrieved from the query. It marks the position in the result set that the 'details' tab is currently showing:

Code: Select all

$query =& $app->getQuery();
echo $query['-cursor'];

Thank you Steve. No it does not work.
I tried

Code: Select all

$cursor=$query['-cursor'];

in my function but I have a cursor at 0.

The problem is that all cursor values in the $record are on 0.

I see. The -cursor value refers to the single position in the result set of the current record. This does not change for each row. It points to one particular record in the found set. The default is 0.

Unfortunately there is no way to get the row number from the renderCell() method at this time. I suppose that could be useful. I'll add it to a todo list for a future version.

What were you trying to accomplish with the cursor? Perhaps there is another way to do what you want to do.

Thank you again, Steve. Actually, I want to replace the "browse" link in the list view by a "edit" link.

You can use the default_browse_action directive in the conf.ini file.

e.g. at the beginning of your conf.ini file, add

Code: Select all

default_browse_action=edit

Well, much simpler
