ChronForms and ChronConnectivity Both Needed?

DShapiroNaples 08 Jan, 2011
I am creating a personal training website. After paying for services the user will be directed to a Chronoform for answering various liability questions. Once answered I will store the data in a table. If this registered user has already answered the questions once I would like to present them with the same form but with all of their previous questions filled in and allow them to edit and resubmit (replacing their original record in the database) the data. After a new or returning registration I would like them to be redirected to a different Thank You page based on new or returning registration.

Do I need both ChronoForms and ChronoConnect to accomplish this or can I use Chronoform with some additional php to accomplish this.

Finally, any pointers (since I am fairly new to php) on the code needed to accomplish this would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi DShapiroNaples,

You can do this with just ChronoForms. The free version will be fine.

Test the principles with a very simple form - just one input and a submit button is enough. Once you have that working you can build a more complex form to work in the same way.

Make the form, create a table to save the data and a DB Connection to link the form to the table. Then explore using the Profile Plug-in to make the data reeditable.

Thanks for your quick response. Where can I find the profile plug-on?

Hi DShapiroNaples,

It's included in the ChronoForms installation. See the left hand column in the Forms Manager - called Profile page.
