Detail page on same page as update page

Is there a way to create an update page with the content from the detail page?
What I want to do is a page that displays a number of products from the database just like a regular update-side does. But I also want to display the information from the detail page in another column on the same page.

You would need to create a recordset to return the detail record, then use the recordset bindings to display the information from the recordset.

If I understand your answer, this manual work? Nothing Data Assist can do.

No, data assist will not create the Details page code on the results page, you will need to do it manually.

It was sad because I do not understand as much about building advanced record sets. Could you possibly give me a hint?

the link to the results page will pass a URL parameter, use that URL parameter to filter the recordset.

I dont know enough about your database and results page to give any further details than that.

I thought I could follow your tutorial 'Displaying Relational Tables With Plug-ins'. But this does not explain my problem. Otherwise this tutorial as well as all others were very well made. I have a table where I want to show both the detail page and the results page on the same page. Unfortunately, I do not understand the theory here. Which had facilitated. Attached is the three pages that I created using Data Assist. The database has been myself. What should I do?

create the results and details pages separately.


use the standard results and details page set. you can then add the details page to the results page as a plugin.

when you test the results page, it will link to the details page using a URL Variable.

for example:
details.php?id=3

in this example, the URL variable "id" passes the ID of the record to show the details for.

using that link as a guide, I create a new URL binding on the bindings panel by clicking the plus button, select URL Variable and set the name to "id.

then add the plugin, Go to webassist -> Framework Builder -> Plugins -> Insert Plugin.

for the plugin source, select the details page, then click the parameters button, create a new parameter named id, and for the value, click the lightning bolt icon and select the id URL variable.

now if you visit the results page and pass an ID:
results.php?id=3

it will show the details for that record.

Thanks Jason! I have done as you say and it works. But what do you do if you want the results area to view all the records all the time. So when choosing one, the area containing the details page displays the information from this page. In default mode, all entries from the results page is displayed.

I dont follow, the results page should show all records by default.

only if you use the search page to perform a search should the results by limited.
