HI All, I'm starting a new thread for this topic, cause the other ones getting to big. To reference the first thread go to
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum9/HTML/000466.html

I'd really love some feedback or help on this as I'm flying by the seat of my pants, but everything is coming together sloooowwwwlly.

So here's where I'm at.

I'm now able to modify my record and write the information to the database and when I select the record for modification, it shows me the data for the individual template fields. Here's the code for build_template_row

sub build_template_row {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Returns a template row for the html form.
#

my ($name, $value, $rec) = @_;
my $select = &get_templates_list ($value, $name);
$name =~ s,-\d+$,,;

return "<tr><td align=right valign=top width=20%><font face='verdana,arial' size=2>$name</font></td><td width=80%><select name='$name'>$select</select></td></tr>\n";
}

and here's the code for get_templates_list. Note this is slightly different than get_template_list.

sub get_templates_list {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Returns a list of all the templates (select list).
#

my ($value, $name) = @_;
my (@tpls, $tpl, $output);
opendir (TPL, "$LINKS{admin_root_path}/templates") or die "Invalid template directory: $LINKS{admin_root_path}/templates. Reason: $!";
@tpls = grep {!/^\./} readdir TPL;
closedir (TPL);
$output = '<option value="">----';
foreach $tpl (sort @tpls) {

($tpl eq $value) ? ($output .= qq~<option value="$tpl" SELECTED>$tpl~) :
($output .= qq~<option value="$tpl">$tpl~);
}
$output .= '';
return $output;
}

This is what I need:
Can anyone tell me how to incorporate the modify multiple records into this? I'm not sure what variables need to be defined. I'm assuming, I would use the same code as found in dbsql.pm
# Set the name if we are doing a multiple forms.
$opt->{'multiple'} ? ($name = "$field-${$rec}{$key}") : ($name = $field);

but I'm not sure where and how to add that line without crashing the program.

Looking forward to hearing from someone.
