Okay, here's what I did, in order:
1. Used JPDeni's Configurator.
2. Got the User Friendly html.pl file and added the stuff.
3. Added the short/long mod.
Got it all to working great, except a couple of frustrating things:
1. Everything works dandy when I'm logged in as an admin.
2. It doesn't work so great when I log in as a user, with a username and password. I can add fine, but when it says record added, all the fields are blank. However, when I go to view, everything is filled in. It's just the "Record Added" screen that is blank.
3. Searching these forums, I've messed around with various things and I can get one thing to go away, but then another problem pops up.
Also, on modify, I can modify as admin, but not as a user....it says error, no matching records.
Now, what I'm wondering, maybe I made a mistake from the get go and should go back to the config machine and start over. I set it up to use the field "Name" (person's name, not user sign in name) as the user id. But I also had done the permissions so that a person without an account could add, but not modify.
Should I start from scratch and make anyone who wants to add have an account and allow default users only a view? Would this fix my problem?
I keep having problems with the user id, but am able to get it going by searching the forum and changing something. At this point, I've changed so many things I can't remember what I've done anymore. (I also tried using auto generate forms, and still had the problem)
Any ideas what I'm babbling about? My head is going to explode.
Thanks,
