Duplicate EditRoleButton functionality with another table

[Ramblin]

Does anyone know how to adapt the EditRoleButton functionality in the ForContacts subpanel shown in the Opportunities module to work with another module pair combnination?

I have everything else working in my new module pair and the relationship between them
New fields added to the relationship table
New Vardefs defined
New Language files defined
New Subpanels defined and properly displaying the values and labels for the custom fields
Manifest file and Publish configuration worked out to share (once I get it working)

BUT

I cannot figure out how to enter/change the data in the custom fields other than via direct edits to the MySQL database. I cannot figure out what to do get the EditRoleButton functionality to work for my new relationship like it does for the Opportunities_Contacts relationship contact_role field.

Help?

Here is what I have done:

I have created an Events module (for training events) that has a many<->many relationship with attendees (Contacts).

I added, to the Events_Contacts relationship table, two custom fields: Status (NoShow, NonGraduate, Graduate) and #Hours (to track Continuing Education Credit hours per attendee). These fields need to be in the relationship table because they are unique for each Attendee/Event combination, so they can neither be stored in Contacts nor Events.

I have the Status and # Hours fields properly displaying in each subpanel: the Events subpanel that was added to the Contacts Detail view and the Contacts subpanel that was added to the Events Detail view.

When I click the Edit button in the Contacts Edit button it takes me to the full Event Edit view which is what I want. (I started with the default subpanel and edited to display the custom fields)

I have copied the ForOpportunities subpanel from the Contacts module as my starting point, for the other subpanel, (and edited to display the custom fields) to so when I click the Edit button I wanted it to allow me to add/change the Status and #Hours data. It currently just goes back to editing the Opportunities_Contacts fields - no surprise, since i have not been able to figure out waht to do to customize it.

Does anyone have a step-by-step explanation for how to adapt the EditRoleButton functionality to let me add/change the data in my new fields?

I I can get this working, I will publish a (very) detailed document showing the whole process; I have seen a lot of discussion board discussion, but no resolution to the whole solution (yet).

I am on Sugar 6.2 on a LAMP stack if it matters.

Problem solved

I have the relationship fields properly displaying in the subpanel and the EditRoleButton properly entering/editing the additional custom fields (I have two) in the relationship table.
