Hello there

I am wanting to extend the standard Listing template to include a new link to another form from the Edit / Delete area on a  listing.

I was wondering where the logic which determines whether to display the Edit / Delete icons exists - as it is restriced to the user who created the listing. ? All I can see in the template is

John,

First of all there is no field value for UserId so your logic will not find a match.

There is a XMod token for {XMod_UserId} however.

What you want to use is a xmod:select template tag to compare the current logged in user.

[xmod:select]

[case value="{XMOD_UserId}" operator="=" expression="3" comparetype="text"] [span style="color:blue;"]MATCHED 3[/span] [/case]

[case value="{XMOD_UserId}" operator="=" expression="2" comparetype="text"] [span style="color:blue;"]MATCHED 2[/span] [/case]

[case value="{XMOD_UserId}" operator="=" expression="1" comparetype="text"] [span style="color:blue;"]MATCHED 1[/span] [/case]

[else]No valid case statement found for {XMOD_UserId}.[/else]

[/xmod:select]

John,

In reply to your emailed question:

just wondered where the logic behind the showing / hiding of the Edit / Delete Icons on the main Listings template was - I cant see anything in the source ? - (this is roughly what i am trying to do)

These controls are all handled by XMod.

If a user has added a record they will see the edit icon and be able to edit only their listings if you have allowed them to edit arecord in the manage forms >> Settings tab

Administrator will always see all of the icons for edit, delete, and approve.

If you have created the listing on behalf of a user, you will need to go back in and edit the listing. An admin console of the form will be exposed to you, as administrator, and you can assign the listing to a user. This will now give them the ability to edit that listing.

The code for the edit, delete and approve buttons is toward the bottom of the list view template.
