Good evening,
I managed to create a table in the joomla database connected to a form. Yeeeh! :mrgreen:
Now I want to replace the values ​​in this table by overwriting, not adding additional rows.
How can I do, please?
Thank you very much.

Hi gianfranco,

You need to make sure that you have the value of the Primary Key (usually the first column 'id' or 'cf_id') of the record that you want to update in your form data. The simplest way to do this is to add it to a hidden input in your form.

wow!
simple and effective! 😀
now ... but how do I hide the field in the form? 😶
in configuration, other, I only have the ability to hide the label, but not the field.
Thanks again and see you soon for a beer! 🙄

[SOLVED]

style="display:none;">cf_id</label><input type="hidden" id="cf_id" maxlength="1" size="1" class="cf_id" title="cf_id" type="text" value="1" name="cf_id" />

😀

I am a beginner ... thanks again for the help!

Hi gianfranco,

The ChronoForms Wizard has a 'Hidden Box' in the Advanced Elements Group.

PS And because it's hidden you can just leave out the label and any other HTML apart from the input itself.

<input type="hidden" id="cf_id" value="1" name="cf_id" />

In particular, make sure you only have one type='hidden' attribute or some browsers might get upset.
