Getting a data-view in the front end

Hello,

Is there someone who knows how to easily show the form table (the entries of a form) in the front end?

And is there a way to re-open a once filled form to change it?

I can code a little php if needed.

I know this might have been asked before, but I can't find anything on it.


Thank you,

Hi Krijn,

The Profile PlugIn will let you create a single record from any database table in the front end. If you want more than one then you'd need to code the table yourself.

To re-open a form you'd need to look up the record in the database table and set the values of the fields from it. Not very difficult but has to be coded.

Hello Bob,

Is there any how-to on this plugin, because I'm having a hard time getting it to work.

Thank you,
Krijn

Hi Krijn,

No, I'm afraid there isn't at the moment. Just a few posts in the Forums here. It's on the To_Do list for both Max and I as soon as there's a few hours free.

Hi Bob,

I've got things to work a bit now, but I still need some help.
I made my own list view of records for the database.
Now I want users to be able to choose a record for editing according to the list.
The profiles plugin is working now, so I've got most covered.
Only thing is, I use radiobuttons, checkboxes etc.
Now how do I get that value from the {} back into a chosen box?
I mean, I don't think <?php if({mycheck} == "checkme" ?> will work or will it?

Thanks again,

Krijn

Hi Krijn,

Here's a chunk of code I've written to do this for Yes/No radio buttons. I'm sure that it can be adopted for checkboxes and otehr radio button configs:

<?php
$checked = "checked='checked'";
// set up an array of radio button names
$q_array = array('q1', 'q2', 'q3');
// loop through the array 
// creating a smaller array for each pair of buttons
foreach ($q_array as $q) {
  $$q = array();
  ${$q}['y'] = ${$q}['n'] = "";
  if ( $_POST[$q] == 'yes' ) {
    ${$q}['y'] = $checked;
  } elseif ( $_POST[$q] == 'no' ) {
    ${$q}['n'] = $checked;
  }
}
?>

and the input tag looks like

<input type="radio" name="q1" value="yes" <?php echo $q1['y']; ?> />
<input type="radio" name="q1" value="no" <?php echo $q1['n']; ?> />
