Company Directory Module

[ziad]

HI All,

In the company directory module,the ' frontendformtemplate="" '  parameter doesn't work. Even after i specify the name of the template i want to use. i want to allow users to add a new record from the frontend side.

any ideas why?

Thanks!

what do you mean when you say it "doesn't work".  What happens?

what if you don't specify a template?  Does it work then?

i.e. {CompanyDirectory action="fe_edit" companyid="3"}

ok maybe im not very clear

what does the frontendformtemplate="" in the company directory module allow us to do?

i am adding it inside the smarty tags and it doesnt do anything or change anything in the front end even after i specify the name of the template.

I also noticed a newer version of the module (1.3). can someone please tell me what the difference is?

as noted in the module Help:
(optional) frontendformtemplate="" - Specify a template (by name) to use when displaying the frontend company edit form.

So when you're creating a page where a user can modify company information from the front-end (i.e. logged in as an FEU), this is where you specify the template to use to display the edit form.  Like this:

{CompanyDirectory action="fe_edit" frontendtemplate="myeditform" companyid="3"}

If you don't specify one, it uses the default.

Is there a way to add new companies from the front end?
how do i do so?

Thanks!
