Hi all!
I`m testing Rowboat snippet and I find it very useful. But I`m stuck on making rowboat show something like "show more from db" link.

Snippet code (show less from db):

[[!getPage?
   &element=`Rowboat`
   &table=`custom_contacts`
   &sortBy=`name`
   &totalVar=`rowboat.total`
   &tpl=`myDoodle`
   &cache=`0`
   &limit=`6`

]]
<div class="paging">
<ul class="pageList">
  [[!+page.nav]]
</ul>
</div>

Chunk "myDoodle" code:

<li><a href="[[!selfLink?
   &element=`Rowboat`
   &table=`custom_contacts`
   &tpl=`moreDoodle`
   &cache=`0`
   &limit=`1`
   &columns=`{"id":"[[+id]]"}`]]">More</a> [[+name]], [[+telephone]]</li>

With this chunk a want to be able to click more and use moreDoodle tpl to see name, telephone, description, address ad so on in this id.

Thank you for every advice and sorry for my English:-)

I think you would have to either use JavaScript to reveal the hidden info or redirect to another page where the info is shown. The JavaScript would be easier, IMO.

Some JQuery AJAX would be pretty nice here. Using their load() function makes AJAX easy.

You'll need a snippet, using the id as a property, and the snippet would redirect depending on what the passed id property is.
