Hello,
With a big help from Bob 😀 , here is the code for a form dealing with a diving log book.
We use three tables jos_users, jos_comprofiler and jos_seminar (Seminar allows to handle events).
It's not the final release I have to add css and to finish what I call the loop (after each submit1, I reload the form until the end and I close with submit2)
Anyway I think it can help

<DIV class=form_item   >

    $db =& JFactory::getDBO();

    $db->setQuery($query);
    $rows = $db->loadObjectList();
    ?>

Guys,

I am really hoping someone can help me. I have been reading the forums and trying to figure out how to populate a drop down from a database:

The particulars are:

Source:
Database Name: dasofsky_jo151
Table of Data I want to pull from: jos_chronoforms_simple
Field I would like to populate from: st_first_name
Position in table: 6

Table I would like to populate: jos_chronoforms_note_bus
Field of Drop Down: nt_student
Position in table: 9

Here is the code I am trying to use:

<DIV class="form_item"   >
<DIV class="form_element cf_dropdown" >
 <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Student</label>
    <?php
   $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
    $query = "SELECT st_first_name
        FROM jos_chronoforms_simple;"
    $db->setQuery($query);
    $rows = $db->loadResultArray(9);
    ?>
   
    <SELECT class="cf_inputbox validate-selection" id=select_4 size=1 name=nt_student>
<?php
    foreach ($rows as $row => $current) {
      echo "<option value='$current'>$current</option>";
    }
    ?>
    </select>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

I would really, really appreciate any help!!!

Thanks in advance for your help,

DA

Hi dasofsky,

Try deleting the 9 from this line: $rows = $db->loadResultArray(9);

Otherwise the code looks good from a quick read.

If you still have a problem with this code, change this:
$query = "SELECT st_first_name
FROM jos_chronoforms_simple;"
into this
$query = "SELECT st_first_name
FROM jos_chronoforms_simple"; (switch the " and ; )

The code works for viewing the fields, but they don't get saved. If I make a database from scratch with the form as bases, it doesn't take this field automatically.

I can't find a solution, can someone help?

Hi pokemon,

Which field doesn't get saved - nt_student?

Do you have an nt_student column in the table?

Bob

If I create a new database, using my form, the wizard doesn't recognize the field to create the field automatically.

Hi pokemon,

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. The Wizard never recognises new columns in a database table.

Bob

I try to make a new table based on the form (containing a dropdownbox). The wizard for creating a new table normally suggests all fields of the form but in this case it doesn't suggest to make a field for the contents of the dropdownbox.
How can I save the contents of this dropdownbox to a field in my table?

Hi pokemon,

The wizard will usually recognise any from input with a name attribute.

You can always add a column using PHPMyAdmin, but you must then refresh the DB Connection.

Bob

When i changed this code

<SELECT class="cf_inputbox validate-selection" id=select_3 size=3 name=select_3 >

into

<SELECT class="cf_inputbox validate-selection" id="select_3" size="3" name="select_3" >

the field is recognized in the autogenerate page.

Adding a column using PhpMyadmin and refreshing DB connection doesn't work with my form, I have no idea why.

Anyway, I found a solution, thanks for your help.

Hi pokemon,

Good catch! I missed the missing quotes. It's good practice to quote all attribute values. The ChronoForms parse is fairly good in finding the name attributes but I suspect that the name=select_4> shown earlier in this thread will defeat it.

Bob

I did a lot of searching and could not find anything on this. A couple of questions…


There are some fields that are not updating, for instance email. When a user registers, there is a record created for both jos_comprofiler and jos_users. Everything appears to be updating except jos_comprofiler.cb_mail. Even when I sync.

On the registration form everything is CB (it appears) except the First Name, Last Name, Username, and Password. It appears that everything is updating between the two tables, except email. Because jos_users.email is a part of the registration form of course, it is there. However, it is not in the jos_comprofiler table.

Is it possible I have something configured incorrectly?

Has anyone written an SQL statement updating the fields in jos_comprofiler from the jos_users table?


Thanks.

Hi Phatboy,

I'm not a CB user and don't have any immediate explanation :-(

Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6.

I think that someone posted some CFv4 code for CB here in the last couple of weeks. That might help.

Bob
