Save Data

save form data to a database table with null values.

Overview

The issue occurs when the Save Data action is not correctly mapping form fields to database columns.
In the Save Data action, navigate to Behaviors and enable Modify data source, then map each database column to its corresponding form field.

Hello everyone
I'll start by saying that I don't have much experience with Joomla and PHP.

I'm trying to record the form data on the database.

it creates the new row in the table but leaves everything null.

how Save Data should be set

Answer

sorry, in v8 it's called "Modify data source", so inside the "Save data" > behaviors > Modify data source:

table_column_name={data:form_field_name}
