Customize Record widget page using DMTHML Dynamic MyTaskHelper Markup Language

We've implemented a new feature in MyTaskHelper online database builder - now you can edit a database record widget.

The main idea - using DMTHML (Dynamic MyTaskHelper Markup Language) you can change the page of the database record widget. It will be easier to use the record page by your website users.

You can use this feature for every project. Modify the standard database record widget as you need.

Read how to insert an image into the record widget page here.

DMTHML (Dynamic MyTaskHelper Markup Language)

See step by step instructions below:

Create a database with several records. Go to the Records menu and add some records (for example: record1, record2, record3)

So, now we have a database with records. To start using DMTHML go to the Record page in the Customize & Integrate menu.

See the screenshot below.

On this page you can select the view of a single database record:

- Standart

- DMTHML (Dynamic MyTaskHelper Markup Language)

On this screenshot you can see a standart database record widget.

Select DMTHML - it's HTML, CSS editor, using it you can edit the database record widget. To get your record value, use a format |Column Name|. It's space and case sensitive!

On this screenshot you can see an example of the DMTHML project.

This feature helps you to change the database record widget. It will be easier for our website users to use the record page.

How to insert image or url link into the record widget page

See step by step instructions below:

We have a database view with URL and Photo columns. In our project we use DMTHML to customize the record widget page. We need to insert an image and url link.

Go to the Customize & integrate module, menu Record. Select the DMTHML option. To insert the image or url link into the record widget page you need to change the HTML code. Find a HTML link at the bottom of the window and click on it.

In the popup window you need to change a html code for a photo field and for a URL field. See the screenshot below:

<td>photo</td>
<td><img src="|photo|" alt="Kiev, Ukraine" width="100" height="100" /></td>

<td>URL</td>
<td><a href="|URL|">|URL|</a></td>

As a result we have the following Record Widget page.

 We'll be happy if this feature helps you with your online bussines.
