Use a different database for the stored forms

Hi
When I store forms after a user fills it up then I want these forms to be stored to a different DB rather than the same Joomla DAtabase is this possible?
How if it is so ?
Please help
Thanks

Hi toadityakumar,

Yes it is poosible, but you'll have to hand-code the query to save the data. The ChronoForms DB Connection only works with the current Joomla! database.

You'll find the basic code to save the data in the Autogenerated Code tab (provided that you have a DB Connection enabled) and the code to connect Joomla! to a different database is in the forums here; or the Joomla! docs I think; or is written up here.

okay after the forms are stored then How do I view the entries made in the form like a normal form and print the same also
Since the form which users will fill i need to print them later on finally so I how can I accomplish this

Hi toadityakumar,

It's not easy to answer this. ChronoForms wil lhelp you put the form contents into a Joomal article, where you can use the standard Print or pdf buttons; or display them on a 'form' page where you can use Print page but I suepect that neither of these meet your need.

It's possible to add code to put the results into a Word document (I've done that) and probably into a PDF (I haven't done that but others have). But those are not outputs that ChronoForms supports 'out of the box'.
