Suggestions / Re: Redirect Target for the controller
This documentation tells how to use the function.  I'm more looking for an example of where I would use that function.   On the add page configuration there is an option for "Redirect to After Add" can I use that function there?  How could I use this function to change where the redirect goes to after say for example adding a record?

Questions / Add page how to reference data that was added in a redirect
As an example:

I have a contacts/add page which adds a contact with a specific account id. 

What I would like is to customize this add page to redirect to the accounts/view page with that specific account id so the end redirect would be something like account/view?accountid=x where x is the account I added the contact to.

On the contacts add page how do I access the accountID in the data that I added for the record?  Is there a variable that I can use in my redirect?

I hope this is clear enough.
Thanks,
Rich

Suggestions / Redirect Target for the controller
It would be nice if the controller would take a parameter that tells it where to redirect after some operation for example adding a record.  For example if you have a contacts / add page and you want the controller to redirect you to accounts/view page after the add then the controller would take a parameter like redirect=accounts/view or something.

Questions / Re: Master Detail - View page with subpage list view - kinda working
So is the final word that there is no way to accomplish what I need to do the way that I want to do it?

What I need to know is if there is any access to the master dataset from within the subpage/list .  I want to make it so a click on the subpage "add contact" button links to the url:  contacts/add?account=$data['id']; type of thing but I want the ID to be the Accounts ID not the Contacts ID.

Thanks.

Questions / Re: Master Detail - View page with subpage list view - kinda working
I have the subpage - the issue is adding records from the subpage.  How do I add a record on the subpage keyed to the master account-ID?

By the way I'm very impressed with the built-in functionality.  Worst case scenario I could get the framework of my app built and then customize the code to make it do what I need.

Questions / Re: Master Detail - View page with subpage list view - kinda working
So I guess you're saying it won't work to do it the way I want to do it then?  

I don't want to do it the way it is shown in the video.  I want to be able to add sub records from the view page of the master record.  So if I'm viewing an account I will see a sub section at the bottom with all the contacts with an add contact button.  I want it to add a contact to the currently viewed account.  This is a very common scenario in CRM software.

Questions / Re: Master Detail - View page with subpage list view - kinda working
OK, I found what you were talking about - it's on the add page.  That works if I have an add page on the bottom of my view account page but that is not what I want.. 

I have an accounts view (master) where it shows all the records for account then..
a list view for contacts that shows all the contacts that are related to the displayed account with an "add contact" button.

I want it so that when I click add contact it adds the contact to the displayed account.  Does that make sense?

And is there a way to turn off these captcha's ?  It takes me like 5 tries to post a message!

Quote from: willvin –
@rwebb‍ and bind the page id to the input of your choice.

Where do I find the page id binding?  I looked at the property list to the right and it has filter by and filter value which is what I used to restrict the list grid view to only the contacts that are related to the displayed account. 

I'll keep looking but let me know where to find the page id.

Questions / Master Detail - View page with subpage list view - kinda working
As someone else in the forum mentioned I have a fairly common scenario with a crm type of app.  A master accounts table with a related contacts table so contacts are always related to an account.

I have the master detail working by using a subpage on the accounts / view by using the filter list so the contacts list only shows the related contacts, but my question is this:

How do I make the "Add Contact" button pre-populate the account ID to match the current account record on the view page? So I want to add a contact for the current account. 

Any ideas?

Questions / On Trial - Like what I see so far but can't delete sections out of page designer
Hello,

I'm in a trial with the software currently and so far I really like what I see for the power of this rapid design app.

I'm having trouble deleting components from the page design view.  It looks like any component that has a data component bound to it such as a listview won't allow deletion.  I accidentally added a second listview to the page and I want to get rid of it but I am unable to.  Only way I found was to create a new project which obviously isn't a solution.

I tried to upload a screenshot and it says that the upload directory is full and to notify the administrator... so you are notified :)
