1. Thanks for the suggestion to change the query. It looks much better now.

2. The column settings are indeed active when the column index is given as a parameter. However they apply to the displayed columns. In a reverted data case these should apply to the rows of the displayed table. I can work around that.

3. When the user returns from the secondary table to the primary table (using the browser back button), the primary page is reloaded, the search field is empty and the current pagination status is reset. That is inconvenient because a user may look at the detail of one record, return to the main table and look for the detail of the next record. I suppose when switching articles, the context is lost. Is there a solution?
The reason why I insist is: I like to purchase your ARI Sexy Lightbox extension. The secondary table should be displayed in such Lightbox. If I exit the Lightbox, will I still have pagination and search intact (ie. the same as before I opened the Lightbox)?

Thanks,
Chris

3. If you use "Back" into a browser then the browser will reload page and page's state will be lost. As possible solution you can add target="_blank" attribute for <A> which is used for secondary table or show secondary table into a lightbox, in this case main page will not be reloaded.

Hi,

I am reviewing this thread and the thread "Link to another ari data table" and both these threads have been very helpful in my development project. I have one simple question that arises pertaining to my specific project.

I understand and have everything working correctly as per the help provided in these 2 threads. I understand that the {$value} that is captured is the value of the field where the link is clicked by the user. Is it possible to capture another field in the same record at the same time and pass it as well? I am hoping to also pass as a request variable through the URL link in the same manner?

My aim is to pass the primary table key, but would prefer to put the link on a field that will make more descriptive sense to the viewer of the website. The ID is simply a number that the viewer will not recognize nor know. Hence, my aim is to put the link on another field he will know and pass both the clicked field value AND the primary table key, or ID. How would I make reference to another field?

Thanks in advance.

Ken

Hello,

For example if you want to use value of OrderId column from the same record, use the following variable:

{$columns:OrderId}
