The inputbox extension uses GET to request an URL whereby parameters
for index.php are being passed. It does not interact directly with
the Database. Having user-accessible Wikipages write directly into
the Database is not a good idea.
You may be able to get somewhere with a creative combination of
templates that create links to edit a page's section, and using lst
(the labelled section transclusion extension) to pull contents from
these pages into your table.
Other than that you will need to write your own extension.

Hello,
I am doing something simple:
1. put an inputbox to get user input key.
2. select data record by the key from DB and display the fields in a
two-column table with field names on left and field values (if key
is not
in DB, display blanks) inside inputboxes on right side of the
table. Allow
user to make changes to the inputboxes and save the fields back to DB.
1. A wiki page has been created to display the key inputbox, but I
am not
clear on how to get the user input and pass it into my SelectDB.php
module.
2. A template has been created to display the table with field
names on
left and field value inputboxes on right, but I don't know how to
populate
them with the DB select results. I have the template linked inside
the key
inputbox as a preload page and Mediawiki magically tried to create
a page
with key as the title using the template.
I had received some helps from a few experts before. I do
understand that
everybody is busy and my problem can be too trivial to be
interesting for
most people. However, I really need help and any help is appreciated.
