Read data action

ZPV_Joomlaforms 15 Jul, 2024

I have a question about the function Read Data Action.

How can I read data from a Joomla table and use the field as default value in a text field?

I use two Behaviors in the Designer Load Tab

  • Fields: the fields of a Joomla table
  • Where statement: idn={data.quote:idn}

Chronoforms finds the Joomla record based on a URL parameter idn, but how can I use the Joomla field value in a Chronoforms fiels?

Thanks in advance for a solution!

Answer

The data loaded and it's path under the vars are shown in the form debug, you can use the {var:read-data-name.column} to get the value you need
