Manual verification possible?

axels 08 Feb, 2010
I need to implement the following functionality in Joomla:

After sending the form, the user will be notified by mail that the entry will be checked by an operator. The operator logs in, and either a) approves the submission or b) not approved.

In case of a) the data will be sent as a webservice to an internal system (I cam implement this myself). In case of b) the user will recieve a notification about his errors, and a link to the form prefilled with his previous entries - and the possibility to fix the errors/missing info, and resend the form.

Is this possible to achieve by tweaking ChronoForms? If not, any of the other components that may be suitable for this?

Hi axels,

You can do all of that with ChronoForms with a little design planning. I'd probably add code to the form to distinguish between the user and the operator (by their login and/or by URL values) and offer the operator extra fields to record a rejection message and an approval checkbox.

Then you'd need backend logic to determine what was being returned (probably set up with some hidden field values) and send appropriate emails.

You can also probably link to the webservice using the cURL plugin.
