Forums

Okay, full disclosure, I am having a very blonde day due to unnecessary pressure on a project I am doing. I have trolled through the forums and FAQs but am not seeming to get anywhere.

I have set up a form which once filled out sends an email to the administrator with the form details.

What I am wanting is to be able to create a frontend link to download a csv of all of the details from the forms filled out. I want the project administrator to be able to go to a page and download every person that has filled out the form.

For the life of me I cannot seem to work this out (tbh i can't even seem to figure out how to view them in the back end either)

Could someone please help?

Hi vdub01,

It looks as though ChronoForms v5 doesn't yet have a View Data option. I expect it will come in a future release. Meanwhile you can use the AceSQL extension to view or edit any database table - for trusted admins only!!!

To enable a download I would create a new mini-form using the Authenticator action to limit access and with just an 'Export' submit button. Then use the CSV Export action to create the file and add a link in a Thank You message.

You can make it more sophisticated by adding the ability to download only new records (requires a 'status' column in the DB to keep track); and/or to house-keep old saved export files.
