I tried to search forum for custom view but not much help.

 

I just want a custom add/edit screen (with tabs and other ui controls).

 

Do I need to create separate theme for each table or is it possible to pass the data from grocery crud to the add/edit view.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

You may create your own theme and set it to that GC instance or, you may add some js and css files that change what you need.

When I need tabs for a form, I create a field that it's not on the database and set the tabs code there. You should be able to reorganize everything with jQuery.

Some quick tips:

1- Keep everything within the <form> tag. 

2- Add the tab field at the end of the fields list.

3- Make the jQuery code that sorts your inputs to run JUST AFTER the tab html code instead of inside a $(document).ready(). Otherwise you may need to re-set any datetime fields you have, as well as the rich text editors (ckeditor in my case).

 

If you can't figure how to do it, let me know I think I have an example somewhere but I would recommend you to try to do it yourself first, you may end up with a cleaner way than mine. Otherwise you'll probably just copy-paste :p

 

 

Hope it helped!

Well... GC saved me hours of work on each project I used it... so, since I am pretty tight with my budget, the LEAST I can do is to spend some of that saved time in the forum :)

I'm interested by some code to help me...

 

I would like to solve the problem of the 1:n relation by displaying tabs at the bottom of the add/edit view to show the related items (one tab per item)

 

I have found this post on the forum that display a list on the list.

I would like to adapt position to display tabs on the add/edit view.

 

Any suggestion ?

 

function list_invoices()
{
  $crud = new grocery_CRUD();
  $crud->set_table('invoices');
  $crud->set_subject('invoices');
// add a new column "positions"
  $crud->columns('invoices_id','company_name','positions');
  $crud->callback_column('positions', array($this, 'positions'));
  $output = $crud->render();

  $this->load->view('header',$output);
}
function positions($value, $row)
{
	$html = '<ul>';
	$positions = $this->db->get_where('positions',array('invoices_id'=>$row->invoices_id))->result_array();
	if($positions)
	{
	   foreach ($positions as $items)
	  {
	   $html.='<li>'.$items['title'].'</li>';
	  }
	}
	$html.='</ul>';
	return $html;
}
