hi there, I really like this component and think that a necessary feature is being able to copy forms, duplicate I mean.

Hi Kechonius,

That's a neat idea. When I have to copy now I do it with two browser windows and copy and paste between them.

PS to Max - sometime it might also be good to have an 'import/export' function so that people could attach forms in the forum here to make diagnosing problems simpler.

Hi kechonius, Bob,

Yes, I was planning for a copy feature and an import/export but for the import/export this was going to be for the stored data and not to the form itself, whats a good format to export a form data ??

Thanks,

Max

Hi Max,

Just thumbed through the manual and it looks as though using MySQL 'SELECT . . . INTO OUTFILE' to export a tab-separated file and 'LOAD DATA IMPORT' would do the trick as all you need is the single table row. Otherwise you could use PHP to create an XML file from a row array.

I guess that some validation might be needed on import to check that the html/php fileds were safe.
