PHPRunner General questions

 paul paulousek author

I just created my first phprunner-app. The goal was to create an application-application, which provides this functions:

  • form-filling, uploading, every user can only see his own stuff. all that works perfectly
    but:

    How can I prevent a user from creating more and more records?

    But to open/edit his first (and only) one again? (And automatically redirect him to his record after log-in?)
    Since one can only apply for a job once ....
    Any hints?
    thanks!

You can add some code to the "Before record added" event. The code would then return false if the user already had a record in the system.

Thanks!

"some code" means to perform a search for a unique-key and then forwarding to an "edit record" form, right?

But: Isn't "before record added" too late? When this event is triggered, the user has already filled out a new form, doesn't he?

So I guess the best solution would be to perform the functionality mentioned above using a "user has logged in" event.

Do I have this event predefinied in PHPrunner?
best regards,

Paul,
Yes, there is the "After successful Login" event.
There is another way to do that.

Disable Add page for the table.

When the user is created (registered) add a corresponding record to the table manually in a PHPRunner event.

Thanks again! That's exactly what I was looking for!
