Edit row/document
This example is the user page. See an example in action here.
The edit page is split into groups (profile and contacts). Some groups don't have any input fields won't apply and are not listed. In fact there are only Profile and Contacts groups.
The Details section includes:
- Full name: A required field
- Person /Business: A radio button (yes, I know Speedy is a mouse)
- Image: A file upload
- Address: A text box
- Country: A n autocomplete field
- Notes: A rich text box
The autocomplete function presents a list of possible matches as you type in the data. This may refer to a table/collection in the database or (in this case) a table in the configuration diretory.
The rich text feature uses CKEditor 4. This is developed from the original fckeditor by Frederico Caldeira which dates from 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 400).
If you specify a record type, the edit program asks for you to select the record type before presenting the main edit form.
