Is it possible to modify multiple records at a time?

Thanks!

No without changing some code.

Take a look at the code for Links. It has a multiple modify feature.

With some careful cutting and pasting, you can copy the routines from Links over to DBMan without much trouble..

Did anyone succeed in transferring the multiple modify routine to DBMan?

I would really appreciate a "how to" on this subject.

It would be a very powerful improvement to the bookingsystem I,- with a lot of help from this Forum, am building.

I'm finally getting back to this and I almost have it working. As suggested, I copied some code from Links, specifically,

sub html_record_form_mult
sub html_modify_mult_results
sub html_modify_mult_form

into html.pl and

sub modify_mult_record into db.cgi

I can specify that I want to modify multiple records in the search dialog, and the records appear in the results page with check boxes next to them.

But when I click Modify, I go back to the login page. I tried disabling authentication, but still no luck.

Any ideas?

You would also need to copy sub modify_mult_record from db.cgi and add a line to db.cgi

elsif ($in{'modify_mult_record'}) { if ($per_mod) { &modify_mult_record; } else { &html_unauth; }}

Put this line in sub main in db.cgi, with the other "elsif" statements.
