Does Easy Forms plugin have a way to connect to a database? If not, what is a good but simple way? LA

Iam Using "RS-Forms" and an Responsive Design....

Hey @Worker, Can you explain a little more? This a website? LA

Yes... iam Using primary Joomla as BackEnd for Forms.... RS-Forms is an Formularbuilder for Joomla... You can make as many Forms you want... And with an Responsive Design you can load it with the Standard "CustomUrl" Plugin.... We need it for our Customer because RS-Form saves the Input in the Database AND sends the Input to the Customer and the Siteowner. There are also PayPal-PlugIns for RS-Forms. So you can make with it an little Shop... ;-)

One Question from me.... Dows the "Simple Form" Plugin from Chris send the Input to an Emailadress? And what Inputfilds are avaible?

ok thank you! LA

The new Easy Forms plugin just uses labels and text fields. It can send results to a PHP script where it can be emailed out or stored on a database. If you need help creating such a script, let me know. You can also have save and open buttons on it, so users can save their forms to the device and pull them back up for quick retrieval.

Yes I need help with the forms. LA

Here's a sample php script which will email the results to an address you specify: <?php $sendToEmailAddress = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Form Submitted"; $message = ""; foreach ($_POST as $fieldName=>$fieldVal) { $message .= "$fieldName = $fieldVal \n"; } mail($sendToEmailAddress, $subject, $message); ?>

@Worker73, Do you have to install Joomla on your website? LA

Jup...

ok dont want to do that LA

No problem.... Than Use Chris1 PlugIn.... I dont tested but you must also have an DB and PHP on your Webspace.... Its smaller then an whole CMS - System ;-)

Actually - you don't need a database for my plugin - just a way to run a php script.

@Cris: He wrote that He need one ;-)

ok how you not need a database for saving the info on the forms? LA

sorry - i misunderstood - if you want to save data then, yes, you need a database

Chris -- does the Easy Forms save the data on the device? Also, if one comes back to an Easy Forms screen, will the previously saved on-device data be shown for further editing? If yes, you may want to explicitly state that on the Plugin's description page. Thanks, -- Niraj

Niraj - it does save data on the device if they click the 'save' button. When the leave the screen and come back, it will be back to the default view. But, they can use the 'open' button to reload their data.
