Need to create a form within the admin panel to add items to prevalue source
How do I insert data using the contour admin instead of the form?
I have prevalues that i need to keep adding to. The values are stored in a table instead of simple strings and then those prevalues is being used as a datasource for a dropdown. The values have to be the Primary Key.
Not sure I follow what you mean, but if you don't want to enter the data manually to the table of you prevalue source you can create a new data source and create a form based on that that way you'll have a form to insert values in that db table
I am developing umbraco for a client and then train them when the site is ready. So my client is not the end user but will become the admin once they get used to umbraco.
My client has this request to add data on the fly for a prepopulated table where the end users select multiple items. This table's data source is from a database.
It would be a lot more convenient for my client to insert his data within umbraco in the admin panel and not have to go through to the public site. This also is more consistent so they are trained to only manage everything in umbraco.
The prepopulated table will be taken from a prevalue source -- database as source. My question is can i create a form for inserting data to the prevalue? I cannot do it in the public facing site. (would have been a lot easier because contour is made for this). I need to add that one functionality in umbraco. Is there any existing plugin for this?
