display form submission to front end users?

helwoe 03 Jun, 2010

Ability to create DB tables and connect to any table to save or update its records, we can connect to the content table for example and let the submissions become website content!



OK..
I've been researching form components for quite a while and I'm absolutely amazed at the disconnect with all of the ones I've tried so far. All the ones I've tried deliver the submitted form content on the backend only and or in email submissions. :twisted:

What I want to do is create a form which of course gets stored in a database. However I want to deliver the form submissions on the front end for users to view and peruse (table format?). The quote from http://www.chronoengine.com/index.php above sort of say's ChronoForms does this but I want to be sure before I lay down any money on another form creation mod. Can this be done and is there a tutorial that I can look at? OR, am I wasting my time here?

Thanks.. :mrgreen:

Hi helwoe,

You can certainly do what you want to. It may requires some coding.

To display form content as an article you can use the submit_content form from the Downlaod area here.

To display a table of form results from a single database table you can use ChronoConnection, the sister component to ChronoForms.

Both components are available for free download in fully functioning versions.

Thanks for the reply. I'll play with it today and see how it goes.

Cheers,
