    Outputting one field with commas, not Returns


      How can you structure a template or URL so that you can get a simple list of field data for a single field? For example, in my address database, I want to extract just the E-Mail address field for each record in the db, with a comma separating each one, not a carriage return and table tags. This way they can be copy and pasted directly into an email program.

      Also, I can get my template to spit out just a list of email addresses, but how do you get them to sort so that all the blank fields are at the end? I tried sort=<Committee,E-Mail>, but it doesn't work

      Thanks!

    Modifying existing database fields using an HTML form


      I successfully used your method in the documentation section to "add" an entry to the database from an external form. I want to modify existing field entries, not add new ones. How do I use "submit" in HTML to post data to my template so I can use it to modify the database?
      ******I used this format to "add"******

      <form action="/baseportal/YourName/Directory/Template" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type="hidden"name="cmd="value="add">
      <input type="hidden"name="htx=" value="/YourName/Directory/Template">

      <do action=input>

      ******What should I change to "modify"*******

      Thanks,
      Kelly

    Re: Modifying existing database fields using an HTML form


      Kelly,

      from what I can understand from the documentation, you need to replace "add" with "mod"

      ie:

      <form action="/baseportal/YourName/Directory/Template" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type="hidden"name="cmd="value="mod">
      <input type="hidden"name="htx=" value="/YourName/Directory/Template">

      <do action=input>

      If you get it working, let me know as I can't seem to and am desparately trying to do the same thing.

      I also want to only change one value and be able to ask the user to confirm before sending it to the db.

      Hope you have better success than me..
      Thanks
      Merryn

      I noticed your post and thought we needed the same thing. I had already tried to substitute "mod" for "add" but it doesn't work. I get an error message (in German, I think) so I'm not quite sure what it's telling me but no values get written in the database.
