Hi there,

My questions involves how make one of my Xataface result fields a hyper link to a different table that contains the additional information about that field/ entry.

I am working with a MySQL Database for tracking computers / and devices - -using

Xataface-1.1.5

Each computer / device has an “owner” field which is part of the device query - and the list of possible “owners” comes from a _SQL_ query to a table called PEOPLE - That PEOPLE table also has extra notes & info about each PEOPLE entry.

-

So when a user looks up a computer or device, I would like them to be able to double-click the “owner” name, and be hyper-linked to the PEOPLE table / “owner” entry where they can see the extra notes, and full information about that “owner”.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Hey,

I’m not at home so I can’t give you the exact syntax, but look up the renderCell function for your delegate class. This will allow you to create a link from a field to anywhere. Take a look at this forum post.
