Could anyone tell me a little bit about this Dynamic Form Generation feature?

Its gone over here:
https://userspice.com/documentation-functions/

I've never really used it - other than just using it to look at the function.

@Mudmin might be able to explain it better

Yeah. There are a few auto generation features. The best ones are the ones that are designed to update the database (deal with $_POST), unless you want to have all fields be text. I'm probably not explaining that very well.

So let's say you have a table called "assets" with 20 columns in it. You would do something like this...

To EDIT a particular row of the assets table...

Code:
$t = 'assets';

Code:
$skip = ['id'];

Code:
generateForm($t,$id,$skip);

Then to process the form

Code:
$id = Input::get('id');

//make sure you are passing the id in the form itself
//do any checks you want to do here

Code:
$skipFields = ['create_type'];

Code:
$updateFields = updateFields2($_POST, $skipFields);

Code:
$db->insert('assets',$updateFields);

Code:
$db->update('assets',$id,$updateFields);

to ADD a row to that table...

Code:
$t = 'assets';

Code:
$skip = ['id'];

Code:
generateAddForm($t,$skip);

Then to process the form
//do any checks you want to do here

Code:
$skipFields = ['create_type'];

Code:
$updateFields = updateFields2($_POST, $skipFields);

Code:
$db->insert('assets',$updateFields);

I acknowledge that this is very much to my knowledge almost nil. This function is not for me, @Mudmin, @Brandin thank you guys.
