Is it possible to step into the child record view page from the parent view with the details.
From the main record veiw I see the child records below, I want to be able to click on the record and go directly to that child record view.php. Much like this code works for the list page.
$("a[id^='viewLink']").bind('click', function() {

window.location.href = $(this).attr('href');

return false;

});

$("tr[id^='gridRow']").click(function(e){

$(this).find("a[id^='viewLink']").trigger('click');

});

In the Query tab create an alias for one of the fields of the detail table :

SELECT

field_1,

field_2,

field_3,

field_4,

field_4 as link

FROM detail_table



In the Fields tab, enable the new alias only for the List page.
In the Visual editor set the new alias as "View as Custom" and enter thid code:

$value = "<a href='detailtablename_view.php?editid1=".$data['id_field_of_detail_table']."'>Click here</a>";



If you want to show the link only when you are viewing the master record view, enter this code in the "Before display" event of the detail table:

if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != 'mastertablename_view.php')

{

$xt->assign("link_fieldcolumn",FALSE); //link matches the name of the alias

$xt->assign("link_fieldheadercolumn",FALSE);

}

Perfect, can you point me in the right direction of hiding the dtablelink to all users but admin?
I don't think thats the right name - I tried the $xt->assign("dtablelink_link",false); on before display and no luck.
The link I'm referring to takes the user tot he lsit page of the child records. I only want my users to go to the view.

If the alias name is link the right code is:

$xt->assign("link_fieldcolumn",FALSE);

$xt->assign("link_fieldheadercolumn",FALSE);

I was able to get the code you provided working just as explained.
I was looking more so for guidance in how to enable and disable the default child link from PHPRunner. I think I might have found some forum posts on this - is it reffered to as 1showdetail in the PHPR?
One last question and I'll leave you alone for a while - the default buttons such as back to list and the <<<< or >>>>. Is there a guide to the naming on these? Can the functions behind them be reconfigured, or would it be easier to delete them and make my own?

It would be easier to delete them and make your own.
