database and form

Hi,

I dont want to use the K2 frontend create article.
The K2 article editor in front end is too complicated for conventional users.

Is it possible to link the tables in the database with a ChronoForm form to create a k2 article in frontend ?


I search in this forum but not find.
Thanks a lot,
Fred

Hi Fred,

Yes, just use a "db save" action and point it to the correct k2 table.

Best regards,
Max

Hi Max,

Thanks a lot. I will read the documentation and try to connect my form to the K2 table.
I will tell you if it's ok.
Have a good day,
Fred

Hi max,

I did what you told me.
The article is created well in the table but no information.
How do I match the fields of my form and the fields of my table ?

Thanks :😀😀
Fred

Hi Fred,

Just make sure your form fields names match the fields names of the table you are connected to.🙂

Hi Max,

I have a form in which the user enters a gallery name. I also have a "File Field" which allows him to deposit pictures.
In the list of events I have a "Files upload" who save the photos in a directory.

I want to use the name of the gallery to create the directory dynamically and to save the photos there.
How can I retrieve the text from the fields to create the "Upload path"?

exemple : /escapade34/images/phocagallery/"the name of the gallery"

Thanks a lot for your help. 🙂
Fred

Hi Fred,

All of the form data is available to you in the $form->data array (and the data for uploaded files in the $form->files array). please add a Debugger action temporarily to see what is there.
