Edit row
The edit page is split into four sections, like the detail page. It also splits the data items into groups with links to them. Some groups won't apply however, such as transactions, and as they don't have an input field they are not listed.
See an example (in this case the product file) here. Follow this link to see the configuration file for the product table.
The Details section includes:
- Price: A number with two decimal places
- Supplier: A select which lists all of the users with a user type of 'supplier'.
- Vatable: A checkbox - stored as a boolean value
- Stock level: Must be an exact integer
- Markets: Multiple checkboxes - any or all can be checked.(stored as a JSON array)
- Overview: A text box
- Image: An uploaded file.
There is an examle of all field types here. The detail list of this page is here and the configuration file here.
The Full description link opens a rich text field. The CKEditor 4 is used here. This is developed from the original fckeditor by Frederico Caldeira in 2003, so it is a very mature and stable product. However we have a couple of alternatives:
- CKeditor 5 is a complete rewrite and is much more functional. The implementation in SUDSjs is very basic however because we are simply loading the sottware from the web. To take advantage of all the features, you would need to download the software and configure it.
- Summernote is a simple editor which allows you to upload images or videos which are incorporated in the web page.
If you need another editor, you can write a handler for it based on the handlers for these. Handlers are stored in /bin/suds/input. They are configured in the main configuration file (around line 200).
If you specify a record type, the edit program asks for you to select the record type before presenting the main edit form.
