link.editRecord¶

Use this ViewHelper to provide edit links to records. The ViewHelper will pass the uid and table to FormEngine.

The uid must be given as a positive integer. For new records, use the <be:link.newRecordViewHelper>.

Examples¶

Link to the record-edit action passed to FormEngine:

<be:link.editRecord uid="42" table="a_table" returnUrl="foo/bar" />

Output:

<a href="/typo3/index.php?route=/record/edit&edit[a_table][42]=edit&returnUrl=foo/bar">
    Edit record
</a>

Link to edit page uid=3 and then return back to the BE module "web_MyextensionList":

<be:link.editRecord uid="3" table="pages" returnUrl="{f:be.uri(route: 'web_MyextensionList')}">

Link to edit only the fields title and subtitle of page uid=42 and return to foo/bar:

<be:link.editRecord uid="42" table="pages" fields="title,subtitle" returnUrl="foo/bar">
    Edit record
</be:link.editRecord>

Output:

<a href="/typo3/index.php?route=/record/edit&edit[pages][42]=edit&returnUrl=foo/bar&columnsOnly=title,subtitle">
    Edit record
</a>
