NAME¶
Vend::Table::Editor -- Interchange do-all HTML table editor
SYNOPSIS¶
[table-editor OPTIONS]
[table-editor OPTIONS] TEMPLATE [/table-editor]
DESCRIPTION¶
The [table-editor] tag produces an HTML form that edits a database table or
collects values for a "wizard". It is extremely configurable as to
display and characteristics of the widgets used to collect the input.
The widget types are based on the Interchange "[display ...]" UserTag,
which in turn is heavily based on the ITL core "[accessories ...]"
tag.
The "simplest" form of "[table-editor]" is:
[table-editor table=foo]
A page which contains only that tag will edit the table "foo", where
"foo" is the name of an Interchange table to edit. If no
"foo" table is "defined", then nothing will be displayed.
If the "mv_metadata" entry "foo" is present, it is used as
the definition for table display, including the fields to edit and labels for
sections of the form. If "ui_data_fields" is defined, this cancels
fetch of the view and any breaks and labels must be defined with
"ui_break_before" and "ui_break_before_label". More on the
view concept later.
A simple "wizard" can be made with:
[table-editor
wizard=1
ui_wizard_fields="foo bar"
mv_nextpage=wizard2
mv_prevpage=wizard_intro
]
The purpose of a "wizard" is to collect values from the user and place
them in the $Values array. A next page value (option mv_nextpage) must be
defined to give a destination; if mv_prevpage is defined then a
"Back" button is presented to allow paging backward in the
wizard.
