I am looking for either a code or extension that will help me with programming a gift list for a site that I am currently building.
I have been able to do the login page for members and the actually input and showing of the list, but I cannot get a way for others to view and "mark as purchased".
If there is an easy way to do this, then I would be greatful. I do not mind if the database is mySQL or Access.
Thanks

Have you considered using the update record server behavior to update the record in question ?

For instance a user clicks on a button purchase (?) which sends a update command to the database which updates a true/false field.
Other users then see that record as purchased.

You can do this easily using the conditional region behavior from George which is located here:

You would want to set it up like this:

if purchased not 1 then show purchase button otherwise show text or image Purchased !

Hope that helps you on your way.

with regards,
