How to save ALL form data in DB table

Nielsterp 26 May, 2017
Hi,

I'm having a form where people can subscribe to an event. The first field is a drop-down box, where all future events are shown. These data is fetched from a DB table in Joomla (jos_jevent_vevdetail).
Then comes the next fields such as name, address etc.

I am saving all the data in a new DB table, this table was created from chronoforms 5 "Create table".

Here is what is giving me a headache: All my forms fields are saved correctly, EXCEPT the data selected from the drop-down list.

The name of the field is "dropdown1". When I try to debug the form, I can see that the data is there, but it is NOT saved in the DB table. I have tried to copy the value to a hidden field, without any success.

How can I do this ?

Hi Nielsterp,

Please try clicking the Delete Cache icon in the Forms Manager toolbar - that may solve the problem.

If not, please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and copy and paste the debug results here.

Hi GreyHead,

I tried to flush the cache - that didn't help. I then added the debugger to the On Submit. Here is a dump of my results.
The field I'm trying to save is [dropdown1] => Foredrag af Magnus Larusson.

The problem is (I think), that when I create the table for the form, [dropdown1] is not even in the table.

I found the solution to this: I simply added the column 'dropdown1' to the table - then it worked very fine !
