Hello there,

i have little Problem since I try to reach the DB data.
I read a lot of Threads concerning this and I found out that Chrono Forms already has some parts of that work in it.

Although I crawled myself through the code of chrono forms, i dind't find the function and even less the right arguments.

What I want to do is following:

Id like to insert a short info on the main Site of the backend.
I created a Tab in the cpanel and so far this works.

But now I would like to create a table in this tab, where all entrys are listet and linked with the Detailed Sheet of Chrono Forms.

Background of this is, that Im creating a Supportfeature as my final project for my examn and therefore I tried to use the Forms for getting Supportquestions into the Backend.

It would be verynice if someone could help me.

Hi Daniel,

You'll find pretty much all the code that you need inside ChronoForms. Look at the admin.chrnoncontact. . . files and in particular the showdata and viewdata functions.

Well somehow I dont know how to acces the chronoform internal functions.

I should say, that Im not a Pro in programming, but I know the basics of PHP programming.

But this doesnt help me, because Joomla hast internal functions and somehow access rights.

I got it working to read out the data but with an external query.
Is it possible to call the view funktion from external pages ... i expect no

Hi,

You can but, the view link click is actually submitting a form with the name "adminform", and submits critical variables like the component name and the task variable and the record id, look at the functions Bob referenced, its really not easy but I wish you you can figure it out🙂

Best regards,

Max

Well I hope so too.

I just get to access the main Form Manager.
Well there must be someone who can tell me what files to include so i can either access the internal functions of chronoforms, or which parameters I have to give with my link so chronoforms can handle them.😟

Be sure I dont want to make it too easy myself, but I havent that much time to waste, how i said this is my final examn and this little form is only a part of my final module. ^^

Hi FeedThe Monkey,

Good luck with the exam. We've pointed you to the places to look, and, like you, we haven't that much time to waste writing stuff out in more detail.

Thank you!!🙂
