Posting Data Output?

Postby mzeidler on Thu May 08, 2008 3:39 pm

Perhaps... I'm missing the obvious here?
But, Is it possible to have the form data/output displayed so a user that has filled out the form and submitted it would then get a new page of all data entered and then could print it out or save it as a PDF file? Any thoughts? Much appreciated!! Thanks, Z :-)

PS: I simply want to have the submitter of the form to be able to preview the data before or after sending.

Hi mzeidler,

It's easy to display the users data. Printing it or saving as a pdf are much more difficult. AFAIK Joomla only supports the print and pdf icons in Content pages and does not recognize Mambots/plugins when it prints or creates a pdf.

To display the content you can just create a 'Thank Yuu' page with the content embedded.

Bob,
Thanks for the reply... Any thoughts on the best method for embedding the form data into this thankyou page? Obviously if "Bill" fills out a form, the content embedded would be different, than say "Sally's" information. So when each filled out their respected forms (thankyou page) each would have their own data entered from the form, correct? does this make sense? Thanks again! Mike :-)

Hi Mike,

That's exactly it. The page will say something like:

Hi "name",

Thank you for asking about "product" . . .

where you substitute their data for the generic stuff. See this thread for an example of a custom email that's also shown as a web page.
