Display existing value into PluginTracker form
Hi Pierre,
It's a little confusing at first, but once you set up 10 or 20 configurations like this it becomes easy (much like anything!).
You should have a page with one Plugin Tracker List. As an example, this is one I've done for Travel Expenses:
Two things to note:
1) the PluginButton at the top for 'Add Expense', or any new entry, which leads to a wiki page with a Plugin Tracker on it. Logically, this is where new entries are entered. Be sure to add a follow up direction of where you want to go after the user clicks 'save' (the 'URL' parameter)
2) the 'link' field, or 'date' in this case, makes use of the configuration Bernard suggested, here's a screenshot of where to configure it:
However, it leads to a completely separate wiki page with another PluginTracker on it, it's dedicated just to 'editing' entries. So when you click the hyperlink, it will take all the existing values for that entry and display them on the PluginTracker. Here is a screenshot example:
Once again, don't forget to put a URL parameter for the user to be taken to after 'updating'.
HTH,
Mike
p,s. than once you have mastered this, you can make use of wiki page templates and PluginFluidGrid so you can put your fields anywhere on the page you like, not just in a column, here's an example from my Time and Expense Management Tracker:
;){kind=link}
;){kind=link}
