How to create a data source?

ChronoForms v7

Daniac 21 Aug, 2020
Hello,
​
I would like to display values from a database in a dropdown.
​
To realize this I have assigned the Dynamic Options to the Advanced Settings of the dropdown.
A data source must be assigned in the configuration of the Dynamic Options, but i can't find a way to create it.
​
I looked in the settings of the dropdown, of the form and of chronoforms but found nothing.
How can i create a data source?
​
Thanks and best regards!

Hi Daniac,
​
Your form must be an "advanced form", is it ?
​
if its then you just need to add a "Read data" action to the same page and that will appear in the data sources.
​
If your form is a "contact" form then it's still not possible to do the switch, that's supposed to be possible in the next update!

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Hi Max,
​
that was it, my form was actually a contact form.
I created a new advanced form and could make all settings.
​
But I miss one setting, is it still possible to access external databases in ChronoForms 7?
​
Many thanks for the support!

Not yet, a future update will add the external database feature!
