multiple record entries at once to formbrowser

Post by lampsie »

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to allow a user to enter multiple records at once using formbrowser. Currently, user has to click 'add a record', then fill in the form, and then submit. As my users need to add 20-30 records at a time, this is a little too slow/clunky.
The ideal would be to present 10-20 empty 'rows' that the user could then tab through, and then hit update at the end to save them all in one go.
Wondering if there would be a quick and dirty hack to allow this, or would I need to get pretty messy with the module and customise it?

Many thanks,
Lampsie

I'm thinking the latter.

Formbuilder/FormBrowser were designed for simple situations... there is a point when it may be better to do the forms manually, or to build a seperate module.
