I've spent the afternoon playing with phpMyEdit, and I've figured out most of what I want to do, however I have a couple of queries.
Firstly is it possible to have boolean fields displayed as either Radio Button\Checkboxes??
Secondly if you've got a table with over 40 fields, is there an easy way of formation the fields, rather than having just one long list?
Thanks
Dave.

Hey Dave,
Playing around with this package, I had the exact same questions.
Here's what I've figued out so far. (hope this helps.)
As for the boolean fields, I used the following configuration options:
$opts['fdd']['is_male'] = array(
'select' => 'C',
'values2' => array('1' => ''),
'name' => 'Is male',
'maxlen' => 2,
'sort' => true
);
The trick is the values2 property. (the documentation has a good explanation of this property -- though I'm not sure I've figured out the best way to fix your issue.)
As for splitting up the pages, see the TABs section of the documentation. (Section 4.10): "This feature is for tables, which have more than a few fields. It enables you to group fields together into groups. Every group of fields then becomes accessible via TAB on the top or the bottom of the page, what is based on the ['navigation'] settings. TAB has its own label, which can describe fields in a particular group." It's a very slick feature.
Best,
Mac

Unfortunately at this point PME doesn't do Checkboxes or radio boxes. Like to write an extension???

Setting select to 'C' would definitly appear to give me a check box.

Thanks Mac, both very helpful, the boolean thing is spot on. The tabs isn't exactly what I wanted, I was thinkinking columns seperators etc, but tabs are probably neater, and more slick.
Thanks

hmmm.... i thought that could be switched around, but I can't remember how. If it were me I might mess with the CSS
it's possible to make a link look like a button:

Hmm...well that serves me right for not reading the latest documentation. Radio boxes and checkboxes look as if they now are supported. That probably means that the mce_cal extension won't work with them.
If anyone fancies having a check of that and letting me know, I'd be grateful.

I couldn't figure out the CSS stuff, so I've been playing with the source code. I've now got it to output
| Code: |
<td class="pme-tab" id="PME_dhtml_tab1_down_label"><button type=button oncommand="PME_js_show_tab('PME_dhtml_tab1');">Size</button></td>
<td class="pme-tab" id="PME_dhtml_tab2_down_label"><button type=button oncommand="PME_js_show_tab('PME_dhtml_tab2');">Email</button></td>
<td class="pme-tab" id="PME_dhtml_tab3_down_label"><button type=button oncommand="PME_js_show_tab('PME_dhtml_tab3');">Scripts</button></td>
<td class="pme-tab" id="PME_dhtml_tab4_down_label"><button type=button oncommand="PME_js_show_tab('PME_dhtml_tab4');">Databases</button></td>
<td class="pme-tab" id="PME_dhtml_tab5_down_label"><button type=button oncommand="PME_js_show_tab('PME_dhtml_tab5');">Other</button></td>

afaik, it would be a lot easier to play with css to make the link look like button.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for triggering this thread explaining how to make a single checkbox work for a boolean. Now they only problem is, I can't get it to show the checkbox in all the views, even if I specify AVCPVDLF as in:
'select' => 'C',
'options' => 'AVCPVDLF',
'values2' => array('1' => ''),
'name' => 'Ours?',
'maxlen' => 2,
In past experience, the tabs feature works quite nicely. I wish checkboxes worked so well! :)
