I want to use the format:

Label check_box select_box text_box
Label check_box select_box text_box
Label check_box select_box text_box
...

Also, I don't want this form emailed to me. I want the user to be able to add data, save it, go back later and edit it some more, make it public, etc. Is that possible?

So far I have made this form in another editor and copied it over but the select boxes don't show up, among other issues.

Thanks in advance!

Hi skintigh,

Yes, you can add any HTML you like into the Form HTML box.

I've no idea why your select boxes don't show up, they should to if the HTML is good.

You can save data to the database without emailing it; and you can have users re-edit their code provided that you can identify the existing record to re-load it. This take a bit of coding knowledge.

Thanks.

I guess I will try a few more times to make the forms work, but the forms are not enabled without an email, and on my last attempt I gave it a fake email but set emailing of the form to "off" and it resulted in errors upon submitting of the form. Is there another trick to that? Do I need to enter real email addresses?

Also, what do you have to do to allow the user be able to edit the form later? That is key to everything I want to do. Is this something a newb will be able to do, or should I look into TikiWiki or another platform, etc?

Thanks in advance

Hi skintigh,

You don't need an email to use a form. I don't understand the proplem you have here.

I assume that by 'edit the form' you mean 'edit the form data'. If so then you need to add code to to form to recognise the user and re-load their data. The profile Plugin can help with this but you will probably need some PHP/Joomla knowledge too.

By all measn use TikiWiki if that does what you need.
