I am wondering how I would go about changing the Current Record: Label?

In my application, I would like it to display 2 database fields.

For example:
By Default,
The Current Record Label shows “MAIN ST” based on my field [StreetName].

I would like it to display “123 MAIN ST” based on 2 fields [StreetNo] & [StreetName].

Thanks for helping a newbie. This is a fantastic software package!!!

use fields.ini in your tables folder.
like [street_name]
widget:label = Street Name
widget:description = “ enter the street Name”

Thanks for your reply.

I understand how to do what you have described in your previous post. What I’m trying to do is a little different.

Under the details section of a table there is a label called ‘Current Record:’

I can change what appears after the label by setting the fields.ini to:
title = 1

However I need the ‘Current Record:’ label to show TWO fields as the title, not one.

Alan,

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for.

The first example worked well.
Changing the description doesn’t seem to work. I notice no visible change to the titleColumn()

`<?
class tables_GENERAL {

function getTitle(&$record){
return $record->val(‘StreetNo’).’ ‘.$record->val(‘StreetName’);
}

function titleColumn(){
return “City”;
}
}

?>`
