Edit form
Created 6 years ago by pdringHi,
Having created a stream, I can both display the data and add to it using a form generated through {{ form('flux', 'cities')|raw }}. However I'd also like to be able to edit the data for each entry on the frontend. Can this be done in a similar way? I'd simply need to know which ID to edit and that I could pass from the URL, ex. edit/5. It would also be useful to restrict editing to the creator of the original entry.
Thanks.
Spectacular!
If I use {{ form('flux', 'cities').entry(1)|raw }}, the entry displays perfectly and it updates without a problem.
Just one question: If I use {{ form('flux', 'cities').entry(1|entry)|raw }}, I get an error concerning the "entry" filter. What does this filter do?
Is there a way to restrict editing so that only the creator can update an entry?
Thanks again!
Sorry - I meant to illustrate that you can use the entry object as well as it's ID there.
You sure can - just use the
entry
option:This effectively runs
setEntry()
on the builder. If theid|entry
evaluates to null it will be considered a creating form! So you don't need any logic switching on the front end for creating / editing using the same view if you don't want.
