Approved front end joomla 3.4 users need to add rows of data with these fields:
1. text (will be a name)
2. selected text item (will be 5 poss itmes)
3. text (will be a name)
4. date
5. text
6. text which I want to apply a formula to create change into a URL

Approved (can be same user group as editors if necessary) Frontend users can also see all rows of data and click on the URL field, sort by any field

This is for a non-profit club - its game resulst with a link to the game, so because it will be my own money I want to check it's OK before I buy!

Thanks

Hi Peter,

You can submit content from frontend with droptables exactly in the same way as backend.
What you can do is apply a specific ACL on single row or cell.

Thanks. Specifically, the user will enter into one of the fields a text string (they get this as copy from the address bar of a website, eg
lichess.org/xyzABC
I want the spreadsheet to have a cell that contains a clickable link; something like:
<a href="http://"lichess.org/xyzABC">Click here<a/>
is that possible?

Apologies! the text box reformatted my previous reply. See screen shot attachment for what I meant to say.
Thanks

Hi,

Yes it is, you can set sell to be edited with a WYSIWYG editor that include a link manager.

Cheers,

OK check the HTML cell editor attached.

Thanks - that allows the front end user to edit the pasted text and produce a clickable link Almost Ok but some users will find that too hard!
Is there a way I could put a formula or javascript into another colum to produce the link automatically?
It occurs to me that if I populate all the cells in the next column with a suitable CONCAT formula that would produce a suitable HTML string. Would that be enough to make the produced HTML clickable by a user, or will it just produce a text cell that looks like HTML?

Yes you can do that with JS but it will require additional work from your side.
You think it's too complicated to click on the link button? :)

Of course you're right! I wasn't thinking properly and was thinking the user would have to code it up. Apologies.

But knowing I can add JS is nice!:)

thanks

This all seemed fine - but having bought it, I can't get to edit to table at all in th front end - and when I put a support ticket, I was told to edit the table at the back end!
Something is seriously wrong somewhere!

ticket number 1054567615:
Message Hi, do you want to edit data in table ? just go to component Droptables in the backend then select table which you want to edit and change data.

You can read our support document in attachment for better understand this extension.

Regards.

Hi Peter,

I think he misunderstood. You can quote this conversation.

Thanks,
