If I save the contents of a form using the DBSave component, is it possible to retrieve the cf_id of that table entry?

Please accept my apologies.

Searching in the forums using the keyword cf_id turned up this article here, which answers my question.

Sorry.

Hi Dave,

The search box on the FAQs page (which uses MijoSearch) is pretty good now, that's a good place to start. I use it all the time to find FAQs, forum search isn't too bad either.

In chronoform v5 I have not found the item $form->data ['id'].

There is an alternative method to retrieve the id of the record saved?

Hi Vales,

That's not available in v5 but I have just added it and you may contact me for a patch, however, you can also get that value using the code below:

\GCore\Models\MODEL_ID_HERE::getInstance()->id

Hello Max,
thanks for the suggested solution. At the moment it is sufficient that one.
I would recommend to find in future versions also a method to retrieve the auto-generated fields in the table:

created, modified, user_id

they may be useful in the template of the email, or other uses.

Regards, Vales

Hi Vales,

No problems, but the other values can be acquired using normal PHP:

$created = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());
$user = JFactory::getUser(); //id = $user['id']

Regards,
Max
