@All Couchies!
Greetings from GenXCoders!

I have been working on a site which lists a table. Earlier I had used repeatable regions to fill in the table but as the data progressed, the same got unmanagable. So as per suggestion by KK Sir, I converted the same into Cloneable pages. Each Cloneable page now acts as a row of the table.

This is where the problem starts. The data is so enormous that re-feeding it is out of question. Is it possible to change the editable repeatable region to a predefined field of "k_page_title"?

The editable repeatable region contains name and is defined as:

Code: Select all

<cms:repeatable name='md' label='Members'>
    <cms:editable name='md_title' label='Title' group='md' />
</cmm:repeatable>

Now I want the value of md_title to be replaced with "k_page_title" without loosing the data.

Please let me know if it can be achieved.

I'm a little confused by your question, but I have taken the liberty to assume you are trying to convert your repeatable region to a cloned page template (each row would become a page on the template).

Have you done this yet? It is safe to assume that you could easily assign any of the editables within the repeatable region to whichever editable you want in the cloned page template. Assuming that your conversion to the cloned template uses databound and <cms:db_persist> you could easily assign md_title to k_page_title as you run the conversion.

Please do forgive me if I have not understood your question completely. If I have not grasped what you are asking, please try to explain a little better (perhaps with some samples) so I can better understand and help!

@David,

Assuming that your conversion to the cloned template uses databound and <cms:db_persist> you could easily assign md_title to k_page_title as you run the conversion.

everything you said here went over my head

I have not used databound forms or db persist.

nevertheless, it is exactly as you have understood.

each row would become a page on the template

May I ask, how you have converted from your repeatable region, to your cloned pages? Have you done that yet, or are you trying to figure out how to do that?
