Hi, I'm looking at creating forms to update a database table using RedDot CMS, and I've fallen at the first hurdle.
In my first form, I happen to want to write the values "1", "2" and "3" to the database but display the labels "Not important", "Quite important" and "Very important" respectively. The textbook approach is to reference a Standard Text Field (which has a red dot) to a Database Content placeholder (which is bound to a database column). I would like to reference an Option List placeholder to the Database Content placeholder but RedDot does not allow me to do this (Selected element(s) in clipboard are not valid for this action). So is this do-able? Using ASP? Using ASP+RQL? (No doubt on other occasions I'll want to have checkboxes, radio buttons, etc etc. Clearly input validation will be non-trivial too) Really my question is bigger - can I create robust and usable database editing forms in RedDot, or am I better off moving it out of RedDot and into a tried-and-tested web development technology? thanks, Jonathan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
