Are there any FAQ's or other information on the site about how to use the Form portion of ChronoConnectivity V6? Particularly how to pre-fill forms from a database. The FAQ mentions a second part but I can't find it. I fiddled around with the Form part, but it is different enough from ChronoForms that I am unable to figure it out.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Just use the "Data provider" in the "Form" view, your form view should contain the "fields" view of course or maybe multiple fields views.

So let's say one of your fields names is "Article[title]", and you have a "data read" function called "read_articles" then the data provider should be:

{var:read_articles.Article}

That would fill field with the title text, assuming the the "data read" function is set to read a single article.

The demo projects included has this feature.

Thanks. Are the demo projects the items listed under "Custom Project"?

Hi Brian,
