Want to have a button on the View Page to Edit the Record you're looking at? Try this:

  1. Save your document in case you need to roll back.
  2. Go to the Visual Editor Tab for the View Page, put your cursor where you want the button to appear.
  3. Insert a new PHP Code Snippet and name it "edit_button".
  4. Paste the following code:



global $strTableName;

$button_name=" Edit Record "; //Change this to whatever you want the button text to say...
echo ("<SPAN class=buttonborder><INPUT class=button type=reset value=\"".$button_name."\"

onclick=\"window.location.href='".$strTableName."_edit.php?editid1=".$_REQUEST["editid1"]."'\"></SPAN>");
  1. Upload and Enjoy!

First of all I would like to thank you for showing us this trick. This is an awesome tip.
I have added this button according to the the instructions to every view of all of my "Tables" including the "Custom Views" and it works perfect with the exception of the following "Custom View Table" called: _Paintball_Parks_
When the "Edit" button is clicked redirects to a strange address: http://www.milsimleague.info/leaguedatabase2/PaintballParks_edit.php?editid1=50.
the correct address should read: http://www.milsimleague.info/leaguedatabase2/Paintball[color="#FF0000"]_Parks_edit.php?editid1=50.
As you can see the button is not able to read the underscore. What am I doing wrong?
To view the actual page go to: http://www.milsimleague.info/leaguedatabase2/Paintball_Parks_view.php?editid=50

To view a working one visit: http://www.milsimleague.info/leaguedatabase2/Teams_view.php?editid=1001
Thank you in advance for your assistance and quick response.
