“Add row” in form – how is the data saved in the db

johk 12 Jul, 2013
Hi ,
If creating a form with ‘add a row’ feature as described here http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/2700-how-can-i-have-a-button-to-add-more-form-inputs.html - how is the data saved?
Is it possible to have each new row in the form saved on a separate row in the database?
For example if I have a form with Name, email, date, job name, time in min
When the user clicks ‘add row’ and additional row with Name, email, date, job name, time in min
Is added.
I would prefer if the data is saved in the database in similar manner ie
Name, email, date, job name, time in min
Name, email, date, job name, time in min
Name, email, date, job name, time in min
That way it is easier to export the data from the database and collate the data.

I hope it make sense.

Thanks,

J

Hi johk,

This is possible but isn't built-in to ChronoForms, you have to hand-code the MySQL to save the records.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
So it would be possible to hack the form to suit.
Is that something you can do/would like to do – obviously as a paid job?

Thanks

Hi Jonk,

If you email or PM me (links under my picture) with a few more details then we can sort something out.
