Writing (simple) form data to CSV

joachimliedtke 20 Nov, 2020
It is a simple form (not database involved) and the entered values should be saved into a comma separated CSV file. I read so many posts until now, but I am getting a bit desperate, because I don't get what I have to write where. What it makes a little bit more complicated: Several file uploads are allowed and when there are several files the names should be written into the CSV separated with a pipe.

As a sidenote: Try to search for the term csv here on the forum and you get nothing. And can we expect a proper documentation for idiots like me or is Chronoforms only meant for professionals? 😟

Sorry, obviously one of chronoform files were broken. So one question remains: I want not all the data from return [$this->data]; How can I specify the fields and the upload fields pipe separated?

TIA

it's easier to setup in v7, but the action is not enabled by default, so I need to send you a patch file, please send me a message using the contact page and I will send you the file!

Thanks for your kind answer, but in the meantime - sorry - I got it working in v6 except for the fixed upload path. For this I added a comment in another thread.
