To make a a long story short I'm working on setting up a site for an organization that requires people to RSVP for events. What we are hoping to do is make it so unregistered guests can still fill in the form to RSVP without having to register, however they will have to fill out the whole form. but on the other hand allow registered members to basically have a single click RSVP option by prefilling all the relevant fields with data that is in the Community Builder profile including a few custom CB fields like "address". I would then like to write a few of those values like UID and such to the Eventlist tables so registered users can see what other regged users are signed up.

I have found info in the forum on prefilling regular Joomla userfields like "email" with the "GetUser" command but am not sure how to get fields from CB and have some data written to one table for RSVPs and other written to the EventList table to show who is coming to other users.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone too much with my rambling... LOL Its possible there is no way to do all of this automatically with Chronoforms but I was hoping there was. Of all the forms apps i have tried so far I like Chronoforms the best.

Hi tachyon2u,

I'm pretty certain that this is possible but not simple. Bothe EventList and CB use quite complex table structures - including (a) using table entries to define other table entries and (b) using linked records across several tables. You have to carefully unpick the exact code that each application is using to find where the data is stored then create the MySQL to read it into your form.
