Edit link or button

[shifamalik]

I'm trying to make a CRUD form using tabulate.

In the list of records can we implement a link or button which takes us to the edit/delete page of the record.

A CRUD form in the front-end of your site, with the shortcode?

The best way at the moment to customize the output of the shortcode is to use the 'report' system, in which you can specify exactly the HTML output that you want. Unfortunately, the documentation for this is not yet up to date! :( But basically, you need to specify a query for the data to appear in your report, and the report formatting using Twig syntax.

I'll try to get the docs cleaned up and uploaded to http://tabulate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

@samwilson I cannot find a button / menu / etc. how to create a VIEW or a report. I can crate a table but nothing else.

@samwilson Can you display a report on the front-end? If so, what should the shortcode look like?

I have managed to create a simple report, but I can only view it on the admin dashboard (Tabulate > Reports).

Sorry for the delay in replying! I'll try to get to everything.

@bwl21 There's no way to create a view at the moment, you have to do that through phpMyAdmin. You can create a report in the same way you edit any other record: in Tabulate, go to the Tabulate Reports table, and add a new record. There is some documentation about this coming soon.

@Sphinxxxx displaying a report on the front end is going to be done (soon hopefully!) as #61.
