ChronoConnectivity tutorials

Hi

Trying to get my head around this and see if any use, instead of exporting forms, Maybe I am really dumb,😀 (people I know will not argue) but the link made in ChronoConnectivity ? does not seem to any data? Are there any tutorials, help for this, what do I need to get it working, The where sql does that need anything in there??

Ps I did now see something in "other tutorials"

What I want is to be able to just show that data from the form, nothing else,

How can this be done, thanks for the help,

thanks

Rusty

I Sort of found out reading posts that in the body

You have in body section tables (html) format {fname){lastname}etc

is this correct?

Is there a way it will publish that data automatically that you want, I am guessing here?

thanks

I'm a relative newbie to this myself, but have been able to use ChronoConnectivity - and thought I'd share what I've learned.

Basically ChronoForms enables you to create a form and add data to a database. But if you want to be able to do more than just add data, such as edit, delete, and create records in the database, ChronoConnectivity allows you to do all of that with very little effort.

The body section is where you'd specify what data you want to display and how you'd want it to display (e.g. rows in a table). Using the curly brace notation {<column name>} is how you access the current record's data in the HTML. As noted in the tutorial, the code in the body section is duplicated for each record in the data set.

In terms of the where sql, you don't need to have anything there, unless you're filtering the data to display only certain records (e.g. if you had an address book database and only wanted to see family).

If you're accessing your table of data via Joomla, then create a menu item and specify ChronoConnectivity as the type. That will invoke displaying the records in your table.

Hope this helps.
