My site will be for online events. Each event has a row in the database with title, date, description, and body text (and lots more). I created dynamic pages for the events. My question is, how can my events manager go to the page for an event and update some of the text? Or add a new event? I don’t want them to have to go to the spreadsheet view. Do I have to create a form page that looks just like the regular event page? Or is there some kind of “content editor” setting to make the db text editable just like regular page items are when you’re in the editor?
Hi,
If you would like your events manager to edit or update the rows/columns of data for your events database, you can create a form, add a text input, or create some kind of interaction that triggers a function that updates specific information about an event.
A form is one of the most common ways to add or update data in a database in my experience.
Take a look at the Corvid reference for the update() function here .
I was able to find a similar question here regarding the update() function.
If you would like to add a new event to the database, take a look at the insert() function here.
Take a look at the Corvid examples here to see some examples on how to add or update data within a database on your site.
