Autocreate Sortbuttons

[Tudor]

If I type a new value in i record is it possible to use the new value and automaticly create a button for that value.

Ex. One layout (Fruits) and it's Record contains Apple, Orange, Bananas

Another Layout (Names) contains Records with Peter Tony Bo that is related to the layout with the records containing Apple, Orange, Bananas

A third layout contains Three searchbuttons "Apple" "Orange" "Bananas"

and the records of:

NAME FRUITS

Peter=(Lookup Value from Names) Apple=(Lookup Value from Fruits)

Tony=(Lookup Value from Names) Orange=(Lookup Value from Fruits)

Bo=(Lookup Value from Names) Bananas=(Lookup Value from Fruits)

New Record

Johnny Cucumber(Created in the existing field) The FruitRecord recives the new value and the NameRecord recives the new value. So far so good.

But when done I would like to have a automatic creation of a button named "cucumbers" that will search for cucumbers.

I guess it would be possible, if you used a portal to display the buttons, though they would not be unique unless your related records were unique. Perhaps you could Zip/Stuff a sample of your file; it seems somewhat confusing to visualize.

I have no problem posting my files, but it's in Swedish and I think that could be some problem to fully understand.

But let's give it a shoot. In the zip-file there is a Read This textfile that will help understand.

Like Queue says it's possible, but I can't think why. What happens when you get 30 or 100 buttons, where are they ging to be displayed?

Tells us what problem you want to solve. You'll get lots of great creative suggestions.

Here is what I would like to try to solve.

You are using this program that I built for a Dragracing event.

When You Have your event you have invited your own class (Blue Cars) and that namne is not on the list.

So you would like to create a new class, and that you do by adding a class on Layout 8. Klasser= Raceclasses.

Hejsan Peter!

I've been looking at your development style in your template!

First of there is no need to tunnel information via Lookups, not even from more than a relation away. It causes redundancy and syncronizations issues.

Second; the use of real values as key values for the relations is a little iffy because they're sensitive to typos.

Third; A portal of clickables via a X type relation (carthesian) might be just the jigsaw piece you need make your system work.

I think all 3 issues here mentioned, are covered by this video:
