hi Chrono Gurus

Im posting today for 2 reasons

1. To brown nose
Awesome component for joomla its versatile, easy to link to user login and gr8 look and feel


2. I edited the users table to accommodate values for a form i made but the thing is i dont know how or where to link each form value to The db fields I created, can someone assist me please

Hi cronostar,

**Don't edit the jos_users table** - it can cause you all kinds of problems in the future.

Instead put the extra info in a separate table and link the two using the user_id

okey please have a look here http://www.neo-tech.co.za/cake
this is where the old site is it was written in cakephp it has certain field that i need chronosform to handle that is needed

but where do you link the form i made in chronoform with an existing database

Hi chronostar,

Sorry, there is no form on the page you linked to so I'm not sure what you want me to look at.

If the database table you want to link to is in the Joomla database then you can connect to it with the ChronoForms DB Connection tab. If it's in a separate database then you will need to add some extra code to make the connection. It's fairly straightforward.
