Why should I use ChronoConnectivity?

Hello,
I use Chronoform for all my webpages, and it is great. I can make almost every type of site with Chronoform (shop, booking, company page, complicated database projects)... And I have never used ChronoConnectivity... Any list of datas I create with Chronoform, because it provides very simple way to make list of data, filters, search, etc.

Can anyone tell my why should I use ChronoConnectivity? What is easier to do with CC that is hard to do olny with CF?

Hi antek.wysocki,

I use ChronoConnectivity when I need to manage lists of records that are more complex than the lists that you can create with the DB Multi Record Loader.

Hello Antek,

It is impressive that you can make complex projects like you've mentioned in your post based on CF. First off, according to my understanding, CF is used to feed data into database or send it by email or both, using frontend. Please tell me how you how you manage to show that data fed by CF on the frontend, without using CC.

Since you have good understanding on CF, you may be in the position to enlighten me in my thread http://chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=12&t=92566

Thank you.

Hi JDev,

You can create a listing in ChronoForms either (a) by using the Display Data tab of the DB Multi Record Loader action; or (b) using the action to load the data, then hand-coding the display in a Custom Element element in your form.

ChronoForms is a bit like a set of building boxes for getting and displaying data. You can do almost anything with it, but, like Lego, you need to build complex applications one step at a time.
