Dear all
I do not fully understand these steps that need to be taken here when saving multiplier data to a db
So, let's say I have three multiplier areas named carsA, carsB and carsC. My guess is that I need to have as many databases as I have multiplier fields, as well as one for the 'static' data, right? I would then include just as many db save actions and use carsA as Model ID etc. respectively, right?
1. Couldn't I just use one db and have all db save actions send it to the same table and spare me the linking of all the dbs together part? Because this is the part I don't get, and I think it's got sth to do with the text inside the red circle. How exactly do I add the Primary Key (e.g. id by default) to the multi field data (and where exactly - do you mean as a column inside the db?), if the id is only created upon sending? Which part am I getting wrong?
2. Do the column names inside the db need to be changed in a way? E.g. carsA[##][color_a] into just color_a? Because that's what it took to see the data in the e-mails.
3. Would all db save actions then need to be set to Multi Save-->YES and Save Under Model ID-->YES, or just the ones containing multiplier field data?
Also, after having trialed just one of the three multiplier boxes, I got this error message upon submission:
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/homepages/17/d317168472/htdocs/EurOpen/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php7.1') in/homepages/17/d317168472/htdocs/EurOpen/templates/wt_nitro_free/error.phpon line42
I'm afraid I don't know what it's telling me but it resolved again once I took out the db save actions. Regrettably, installing this is not as simple as it sounds in the three-line text🙂
Many thanks for any help
