MartinCleaver: Is there a control for Foswiki forms that allows someone to page and add records?
[1:43pm] MartinCleaver: I see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:navigator which has "Add"
[1:43pm] MartinCleaver: and http://foswiki.org/Extensions/JQGridPlugin which seemingly doesn't
[1:43pm] MartinCleaver: and http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/34246941/Grid which looks like it will become an almighty replacement
[1:43pm] MichaelDaum: MartinCleaver, not implemented.
[1:44pm] MichaelDaum: you will have to use normal foswiki means to create a new record
[1:45pm] MartinCleaver: MichaelDaum: thanks...
[1:47pm] MartinCleaver: at the moment I am creating a pop-up that shows the formCreator - but of course my table (based on http://foswiki.org/Extensions/MultiTopicSavePlugin) doesn't update - because it doesn't watch the data source.
[1:49pm] MartinCleaver: I really like the wiki syntax of MultiTopicSave, but its lack of an input method for "add new" is really quite sucky. 
[1:49pm] MartinCleaver: Do you use something in particular as a "normal foswiki means to create a new record"?

Forms in jqGrid are not one of the features I like very much, given that we do (data)forms quite differently on foswiki. Most probably using jqGrid's "add row" feature won't be usable while connecting to foswiki's way of modeling data forms. The normal way would be to use something like FlexFormPlugin or so to create a separate form to create a new topic, making it a separate widget, i.e. not integral part of the grid widget. You'll have to reload the grid to see the newly created topic within the grid.

Thanks Michael - I think the "add row" and "live update" of results into the grid is going to be key for usability.

Whether its a separate widget or part of the grid I don't overly care.

Thanks for the comment.

Best, Martin.

I have some ideas. I seem to be always "a few months away" from showing anything though smile

Any news on this?

-- PhilippLeufke - 25 May 2013

Paul, Can this be confirmed, or no-actioned? Trying to reduce the size of the NewItems triage list.

-- GeorgeClark - 24 Dec 2014

Closing due to lack of actions. In the meantime a similar user experience has been implemented in MetaDataPlugin using JQDataTablesPlugin.
