How do I save submissions to the db with chronocontact?

Hi vistech,

As far as I can see you can't - you'd need to use ChronoForms if saving to the DB is a requirement.

How do I get a definitive answer?

Hi Vistech,

We'll have to ask Max, I'll check on your other question in the morning and then drop him a note. He often visits here at the weekend so may pick it up before then.

Hi,

If you have the table in your database, then ChronoContact is built using a framework which makes it easy to do any database operation, you can use the code below in the custom code box:

<?php \GCore\Libs\Model::generateModel('Test', array('tablename' => 'your_table_name')); \GCore\Models\Test::getInstance()->save($form->data); ?>

Please note that if the table's primary key value is passed in the data array then the function will try to update a record with that value, but if you want to disable this feature then let me know and I can tell you the setting to disable this.

I hope this helps.

Max

So there is no way to easily add the new table in the db like chronoforms? I thought this would be a no brainer to be added to chronocontact from chronoforms...

Hi vistech,

You can simply build the table in phpmyadmin then use the code here, we are not going to copy any code from Chronoforms here, ChronoContact is different and is using different techniques, but I will try to add this feature to the next version, you may check with me through the "Contact us" page if you want to get the next installer.
