About to buy, can chronoform do this?

Postby hommer on Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:23 pm

Hi all,

I am building a website for a client. I am thinking to use joomla. One of the most important function that the website must be able to do is that, it must allow the customers (users) to fill out relevant fields in the contract (name, DOB, address...) ,not necessary to display the whole contract but rather just fields to be filled. They then press the print button or submit button to get a page with the pre-formated contract with the information just filled in by the users, then the users will print and sign the contract and mail it to my client's office. On the other hand, the contract with the information filled by the users must be save in the database so that the admin and only the admin can do the same thing.

I am just wondering if chronoform is capable of doing this?

I am looking forward to any suggestions that may arise.

Thank you

Hi hommer,

Chronoforms can do all this but after you have the contract page filled with data it may not be possible to print it, may be if we can get some PDF generated with the contract and then the user can open the PDF and print, but this feature is still under development!

Cheers

Hi Max,

Thanks for the reply. Will I have to manually write php code in order to do that or it can be just easily configured in administrator back-end? Can I use the built-in pdf export function of joomla with chronoform?

Thanks

Hi Leo,

At the moment you'd have to write code. It might be possible to do something by using the ChronoForms mambot to put the form contents into a content page *and* find a workaround that enabled mambots in the pdf-writer. I've seen people write about this I've never seen it done!
