Allow certain users to view form table data?

Hi,

Is there a method where I can allow specific users access to the dynamic form data at any given time? Right now it seems I have to make a user an Administrator before they can view that information, or they have to contact one of our admins/superadmins to retrieve it (and export it to Excel) for them.

There are 2 things I'm trying to accomplish with this. One is that from a previous website we had a form where users would enter their information, their supply requests, and their advisor's info, then hit submit. They were emailed a message that contained a URL to view their request. The advisor had the ability to manipulate their request, wholly dismiss or wholly accept their request, and they could always click back to the link to view this information. The link was something like:
http://www.mydomain.com/?id=a1345asn134523
where "a1345asn134523" was randomized to help reduce the likelihood of someone randomly guessing the link to your form data (after they authenticated to the website they could, in theory, randomly guess the correct ID, this wasn't that big of a problem).

The other conundrum is that I want my users to be able to retrieve form information pertinent to them and their function without intermediate interaction. If the undergraduate advisor wants to see who has applied for graduation, currently I have to just have the form emailed to her directly. With the above solution, she would get an email and have a link to refer back to and provide status updates, etc without any intermediate interaction on any external persons part (such as one of the admin/superadmins).

Any thoughts?

FYI, I'm on Joomla! 1.5.2

Thanks, it's really not that big of a deal if this is not an option, this tool is absolutely amazing as it is.

Hi Chad,

Unfortunately this is not available BUT one of the top periority features to be finished soon, you can check back on about 1 or 2 weeks and I think we will have it🙂

Best regards,

How do radio buttons work with chrono? I just can't get them to post with output in an email. Here's the code. <p>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="form25" value="radio" id="sailing experience" />
none</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="sailing experience" value="radio" id="sailing experience_1" />
optimist</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="sailing experience" value="radio" id="sailing experience_2" />

Hi sailsmart,

Nice video. Thank you.

I've never seen the problem with the Admin menu before and I've no idea how that has happened. Maybe from some faulty installation?

You don't need to copy the form link into the address bar to use it, just click the link and it should open in a new tab or window.

You can also turn DeBug on to get a page display of the results email (and some other info) which is much easier to work with than going to find each email.

As far as I can see ChronoForms is working exactly as it should. It is a Forms Manager, it's up to you *how* you create your forms. It has absolutely no way of knowing that you don't want some blank entries displayed. In some cases, with checkboxes for example they could be important.

If you want to customise the email then you have full control by using the OnSubmit before box to add PHP and the email template box to design your own format.

Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
