NAME

       Vend::Table::Editor -- Interchange do-all HTML table editor

SYNOPSIS

       [table-editor OPTIONS]

       [table-editor OPTIONS] TEMPLATE [/table-editor]

DESCRIPTION

       The [table-editor] tag produces an HTML form that edits a database table or collects values for a
       "wizard". It is extremely configurable as to display and characteristics of the widgets used to collect
       the input.

       The widget types are based on the Interchange "[display ...]" UserTag, which in turn is heavily based on
       the ITL core "[accessories ...]" tag.

       The "simplest" form of "[table-editor]" is:

               [table-editor table=foo]

       A page which contains only that tag will edit the table "foo", where "foo" is the name of an Interchange
       table to edit. If no "foo" table is "defined", then nothing will be displayed.

       If the "mv_metadata" entry "foo" is present, it is used as the definition for table display, including
       the fields to edit and labels for sections of the form. If "ui_data_fields" is defined, this cancels
       fetch of the view and any breaks and labels must be defined with "ui_break_before" and
       "ui_break_before_label". More on the view concept later.

       A simple "wizard" can be made with:

               [table-editor
                               wizard=1
                               ui_wizard_fields="foo bar"
                               mv_nextpage=wizard2
                               mv_prevpage=wizard_intro
                               ]

       The purpose of a "wizard" is to collect values from the user and place them in the $Values array. A next
       page value (option mv_nextpage) must be defined to give a destination; if mv_prevpage is defined then a
       "Back" button is presented to allow paging backward in the wizard.
