Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible to create a copy of an existing row, edit the contents, and save it as a new record? So far, the only thing that I have been able to find is located in the "Future Feature" section, entitled "create a button duplicate row". It sounds like that will fit my needs. Any updates on when this might be available?

 

BTW: I would like to volunteer my services to help out whenever possible. I'm not proficient in PHP programming but I can help out with mundane tasks like graphics design, css, help documents, (etc.) if needed?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jack

Under which condition do you want this copy of an existing row to happen?

Will it be automated or via user intervention?

Hi Davidoster,

 

Thanks for the quick response. The functionality I'm looking for would be "user intervention". Where as, a user selects an existing record (via the Edit pencil), then edits the field(s) as needed, then selects the "Save as New" button. This would be great if most of the record information were identical accept for one or two items that needed changing. Here's an image to describe my thoughts:

1. you need to go under assets/grocery_crud/themes/your theme/views/edit.php and put the html for the new button

2. you need to go under assets/grocery_crud/themes/your theme/js/yourtheme-edit.js and amend it as appropriate

3. then probably you need to change the library itself and extend the grocery crud model but I need to investigate it more before I tell you something certain.
