Am using CF 5 on Joomla 3.2.1 and have created a form to populate a database. I wish to display the contents of the same database on a different page if someone wishes to review it / sort it / study it. Have tried chronoconnectivity but am not able to get the display - all that shows up is a blank line (the database does have data populated already).

Going through forum i found that I can do it through Chronoforms itself using some DB Multi Load and Display option. And I am unable to find this option in the entire component.

Can anyone please tell me where to find it? Where is this option hidden?

Hi rahulquest,

In CFv5 the DB Record Loader and DB Multi-Record Loader have been combined into the DB Read action in the Data Management Action group. The 'Multi-read' option in the action switches between a single record and multiple records.

There isn’t a built-in 'data displayer' but once you have loaded the data with the DB Read action you should be able to use PHP in a Custom Code element to build and display a table of results. (NB I haven't yet tried this with CFv5.)

Hi Bob!

As I understood you haven't tryed yet. Am I right?😉

I have used this functionality on v4, and now trying to use in v5.
But due to my own PHP "skills" it looks impossible. 😀

Thank you.

Hi rahulquest,

No, I haven't tried it yet. Most of my client work is still with CFv4 - I know that works OK.
