Symphony.

Hello, I am building a member management page which gets data from a section “members” having fields like lastname, email etc. Another important field is “active” which is a checkbox field. Data is represented as a row in a table for each entry. On the frontend page, changes to a checkbox field should cause an update in the appropriate section entry (without triggering a submit button).

So far, I’ve only found extensions to create new entries but not update entries. Is this even possible?

If you are asking yourself why i am rebuilding the page from the backend, where it is also represented in a table with rows for entries: Better summary and direct control of member attributes (see the issue with the field “active”)

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Study the “Example HTML” of your event (Components > Events) a little more closely and you’ll see that you are able to pass an entry ID as a hidden field upon which Symphony will update rather than create new.

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="123" />

If you’re updating multiple entries at once then it’ll be something like:

<input type="hidden" name="id[0]" value="123" />
<input type="hidden" name="id[1]" value="456" />
<input type="hidden" name="id[2]" value="789" />
