multiple editable records in one view

[bungeebones]

I work at a school and am setting up attendance forms for the teachers. So far I have a table listing homeroom teachers and then another table where students are assigned to a home room. The form for assigning students pulls the student's name from the student roster table as a lookup into a dropdown. Since that only changes once a quarter I believe it will work well enough. But I can't seem to figure out a way to bring all the students that are assigned to a class in a list with a checkbox beside each that would be checked for attendance.

Any ideas?

I can do a custom page to build the columns, submit the data to the data base etc if that is the best route but I would like to keep such a page linked to by the rest of the app. I could use some direction on adding a custom page to an existing app if that can be done.

Thanks

Hi Robert,

If you could wait till the next release (hopefully would be available within 2-3 weeks), I plan to add a multi-selection feature with a hook for adding custom actions ... This way, you can see a checkbox besides each record in the table view ... and when you select one or more records, you can call any of the custom actions you defined to be applied on the selected records ... If you use Gmail you might feel familiar with this .. In Gmail, you can select multiple messages and then be able to apply an action to all the selected messages from the top menu.

Hi Ahmad,

If I could be any assistance feel free to email me the code for testing if you like.

What I would like is a hook that would let me do a multi-dimensional array inside the "body" section of a typical appgini template, if such an integration of completely independent code is possible. The functionality I need is to be able to call up a student roster of the current user's (a teacher) homeroom class with various inputs near each student. I can see a need for at least three different versions so far with one being for grades, one for attendance and one for elective grades and attendance. If I could simply write my own script inside the Appgini template and retain the navigation it would be great.

Any updates on this issue? I would like to create an attendance database for a church but don't know where to start. A sample database would be great.

Thanks in advance

This is already implemented in 5.30 now .. but you'd need to add some customizations for batch editing. Please see the what's new video for 5.30 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_1wdZA3mh4
