Hi all,

can you tell me please if it is possible to generate front-end forms for my DataObjects with actions like add/edit/delete?

For now, I have created it manually.
It means, that in my "Finance" controller I have created four actions: index, add, edit, delete. This actions handles SS_HTTPRequest - parses ID from url and loads record (for edit/delete).
Then, I have created templates like finance_add.ss, finance_edit.ss, finance_delete.ss and for each template I have created forms.
It works, but it is not very "pretty" and I'm looking for something more generic without need of writing or copy&pasting too much code.

Could you please suggest me what is best practice of front-end forms and if it is possible to use scaffolding in front-end?

Thank you very much, I will appreciate any code example :)

This is a great example of how this is done in 2.4

Hi swaiba,

thanks, could you please provide me a link with this example ?

I am so sorry!

I saw it before but I did not try to test it. I was in doubt if it will work on version 3.1, because in description there are requirements SilverStripe 2.3, and code of this module was last modified before 3 years.

Do you think it is working with actual release of SilverStripe?

I've no comment on whether it works on 3.1 or not - I'd advise you try it out.
I'm not aware of anything too large that would have changed in this area - but if a function is depreciated the docs normally lead you to the replacement.
As I said this is a very good example, not a complete working solution.

Alright, I will try it.

Thank you :)
