jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid - Topic: Defining ID parameter in formatter's showlink http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/defining-id-parameter-in-formatters-showlink Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 tony on Defining ID parameter in formatter's showlink http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/defining-id-parameter-in-formatters-showlink#p5810 Feature Request http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/defining-id-parameter-in-formatters-showlink#p5810 Hello Tac,

Thanks for this. I think that using template is one very good approach. The question is how to do this in easy way for the developer. I will think about this. If you have ideas will be glad to hear.

Best Regards

Tony

Obviously, I can add my own extra parameter to this id=n&id_name=customer_id.

Even better would be a template or sprintf that would define where I wanted the ID.  For example, I use a lot of rewrite rules, for our news table I don't want articles.php?id=777&id_name=article_id, I want the much cleaner

/news/article_777.html

Also, can you explain showaction?  I can't figure out how to use it.

Thanks!

Tac
