Data Listing Field(s) basic question

jwe_pta 31 Aug, 2013
I have my form working and my CC to CF is working. My problem is that I want to be able to enter payment amount and a reference number via cc. THe first field in my data listing field is working fine and saving. My problem is all subsequent fields in the data list field are not saving. I enter, hit save, get message that saved successfully, but the entry is not in my table (either on the CC table I'm working on front end or in my table on back end. What am I doing wrong?

Hi jwe_pta,

I'm afraid that I don't understand the question here :-( How do you enter payment amounts and references in CC?? Surely you do that in a form?

Bob,

I'm sure I'm doing this all wrong. I would love to be more "2013" but at this point I'm trying to work with what I have and need to provide my volunteers with their data in a pretty simple format. I'm also learning as I go. So I'm trying to fit my forms to fit what they are doing...Each year we move a step forward. : )

Our parents register all their info and then send in the payment by check. (archaic yes, but it is PTA). Once we deposit their payment we go back and record what they paid and an id number for the deposit so we can split that payment out by each line item (membership, shirts, donations, etc.) for our accounting system.

I want to be able to allow someone look up the records and record payment and the deposit number using chronoconnectivity. (I then export this to run various reports for membership, shirt orders, etc.)

I have it set up and is working great. They can search by person, enter the payment and save. The problem is it will only save one field. (the first one). If they type in both payment and deposit number, only payment saves in the table. Both of them show up with a box for data entry but only the first field saves.

Thanks!

Hi Joy,

You could use several DB Save actions in the form to save several records from one payment - but it's probably simpler to hand-code a MySQL query so save them all at at once.

I'm having the same issue. GH - I believe what they are referring to is the frontend listing. I also have a frontend listing with two fields that are editable (data listing fields). when I check the box and save on the frontend listing, only the first field is saved, the 2nd does not save.

Is there a work-around for saving editable field on the frontend listing?

My preference was to not have a form linked to this connection. Thank you!!

Perhaps my toolbar is setup improperly?
