get email address from sobi

schlogo 21 Apr, 2010
Hello

I d like to know if it s possible to get an email address from an external source to be used in a form.

Goal is to use chronoforms in a sobi2 page and get it to use email adress from a sobi2 email field.

Is that possible?

Hi shlogo,

It is certainly possible and there are examples in the forums here. I don't know specifically what you'd need to do to get infor from SOBI2.

hello

tks for your answer, i ve inserted the form in sobi, quite simple as you can now use joomla plugins in sobi template. I am using sobi and chronoforms in a business directory.

I d like chronoforms to handle the contact forms in the entries. The email address where to send the email is in a sobi field, the question is

can chronoforms go and get this contact email address ?

Hi schlogo,

I understand the question, the answer is Yes but you'll need to find out from SOBI where ChronoForms needs to go to get it. Presumably there's a database query that will do the job.

Well, that i figured out, the question is how do i get chronoforms to do this query? Is it from inside the component?

Hi schlogo,

You can do it from the Form HTML. Please search here on 'SELECT' and you'll find many examples.

Perhaps you could pay a developer to work out which fields in the SOBI2 tables match your needs and how to match data entered with those fields.

You will need skills in SQL language as well as an understanding of how SOBI2 handles its data.
