how to make a plugins for chronoForm

kuzanagi 11 Feb, 2009
Hi first I want to say thanks for this excelent component, definitively this is a MUST HAVE component.

OK my question is about, how to create a plugin for it, since I dont see any documentation about it, I post this question here ( sorry if I posted in a wrong place ).

Now maybe you will probably think why do you need a plugin?; ok the thing is my client need to export the form submit data, but He want an option which he can choose which fields want to export to an excel file.

Is this possible with a pluging?, or Is there any option already implement for this task?.

Since he is a end user, He dont want to code anything, he want a option to do all the hard work.

I hope someone have an answer for this, thanks and greetings from Costa Rica!. 😀

Hi kuzanagi,

Thank you, I think that you can create a form with some checkboxes for fields and then create the backup file on submit, you can see the backup code in a sticky post in the "how to" forums, you can edit it easily to reach to what you need quickly, you will need to move the backup code from the HTML box to the ONSubmit box so the backup is created after the client finishes selections and not on form load as its now!

Cheers
