Hi guys,
SimpleBlog also has an example of this stuff including ERModernLook compatible
CSS for the ERDControllerButton. I think that ERDActionBar might be more
appropriate for this because it provides a button at the page level, but there
is certainly nothing stopping you from creating your action in your table's
rows.
Here is the answer to your specific question about the button appearing all
over the place:
50 : *true* => controllerButtonComponentName = "ERXEmptyComponent"
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
60 : pageConfiguration = 'ListMyBlogEntry' => controllerButtonComponentName =
"ERDControllerButton" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
