Ok, I'll try that. Create at least an edit form,
and then create a list form for the same table in the same module and see if it
creates the links for me. I remember seeing your emails regarding the links and
will go back and look at it now.
Thanks much,
Dan

This
only happens to me if there is not a page with a form component for that
link type (add, edit, delete, view) within that module. In other words, if I
have I don't have an edit form embedded in a page anywhere in
that module, then the Edit Link is (None Available). I believe It
is just a validation check they do to make sure you have an actual
page/template with an edit form embedded in it before you generate the
code.
This
is different from 'disabled', although that is confusing in my opinion and
should say "No (disabled)" so there is some reference to the tag
attribute in the code.
Personally, I would like to see the ability to either select a template
or define your own name or an _expression_. My post last week about
DisplayListLinks goes to the heart of the issue. In complex apps you may want
to have those links generated dynamically based upon conditions in your
app. This is affecting me right now in an app I am working on. I
may want to go to one child edit form from a parent list form, or a parent
edit form, etc. The way the list links work right now, they will not
accept parameter extensions, so you really have to code you way around it, and
you are immediately divorced from the IDE, for that page, from that point
on.
I
have found a fix for this issue and passed it along to Adam and David last
week, and they are going to implement some version of it in the next
release.

Yeah, that gets back to the message below where I
stated: I should also add that this is a list form, and
the links tab in the ide, the add/view/edit & delete links all say (none
available). I cannot edit these values.
So question is, why are they disabled?

Well, there is a Links tab in the right panel when
you select a list control in the IDE. If you set a link to
'disabled' it sets the attribute to "No" in the generated tag for that
link.
Jeff
Makes sense. Thanks for the tip on the "No" for the
attribute when I do not want the links to display. I did not miss this
in the IDE, did I?

If you try to modify the links in the IDE, I
believe the forms have to be created on the disk for the links to be
editable.
Sometimes you need to just create a new
module manually. I don't like the way Plum generates a default
directory for every formset. That is why I don't let Plum
auto-generate all my forms at once. Just manually create an
empty module for the new directory you have for the wizard, and
then create new pages in that module manually as you need them.
I have a company directory in the project I am working on that has
forms for the company, office, employee, and several lookup
tables. I have found it is more beneficial to group these
things based upon how security access has to work. It is
easier to control access to all of these with one group in security
'company' as opposed to 10 different ones.
As to the
add link, set the attribute value to "No" to disable the
link.
HTH,
Jeff
I should also add that this is a list
form, and the links tab in the ide, the add/view/edit & delete
links all say (none available). I cannot edit these
values.

cf_DisplayListLinks
The plum wizard creates a separate
directory under the admin directory for each table in the
database. I am creating a new module that will be a wizard, and I
will be adding data to several tables. The IDE assumes that my new
module is in the same directory as the database table module, and
therefore the Add,View,Edit and Delete links are
wrong.
In the example below, I do not want
them to be able to add another record, so how do I disable the Add
link in the IDE or in code, and how do I correct the path, as I
manually did for the view link be pre-pending
"../tblpage/".
<cf_DisplayListLinks add=""
view="../tblPage/tblPageViewForm.cfm" edit="tblPageEditForm.cfm"
delete="tblPageDeleteForm.cfm">
I guess I am always exploring if
something can be done in the IDE first, and that way, I am
becoming more aware of everything that can be done
there.
