View submissions - Jan - Sep 25th, 2011
Hello,
I want my members to fill in the forms I have made, but their entries must be private.
Members shoul'd not be able to see submissions from other members.
All members shoul'd get their own private dossier.
How can i do so?
If it is not possible does someone know another script for that purpose?
Thanks

Hi Jan,
Hope all is well.
To do this, you need some way to map each form submission to a particular user. The simplest way is to include a dropdown in the form saying "User", which contains a dropdown of all your Form Tools user. The dropdown would contain the account IDs of each client account. Then, you'd create a single View with a Client Map filter (see: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/index.php?page=client_map_filters) in which the value in that field maps to the client's account ID.
Would that work? Or do you need to prevent all clients from knowing about the others?
If you need to keep that information private, could you force each client to link to the form via a particular (custom) URL? If you could do that, you could pass in the unique custom account ID to the form and then pass that along in a hidden field. That way, each client would never know about the others.
Let me know if you need any clarification on any of this - I covered quite a bit of ground!

Hey Ben,
First of all, thanks...
I think it is not so bad if members know about eachother, because I will not allow them to use their real names.
Anyway, the users are going to store their medical information, so I must be very sure that it is private.
As you know I am not the best in Englisch language and also not with script, but I will try your solution.
I hope I can make it because this script is very beautifull, I don't want to start all over with something else.
Thanks again :-)

I know, right?! Sometimes I start using a script then find it doesn't do that one thing that I need - and starting with a new script is such a pain...
But this should work fine! Do let me know if you get stuck.

Hey,
It is a complicated script.
I try to play arround but onestly, my brains blow out sometimes...
Somehow I do not understand some logic...
I'll go on with it, but I don't have enough time to fix it..
That will give me some trouble (my fault ofcourse...)
I know you don't have too much time also, but I want to ask if you can make one example for me..
If I can see that, I can easely follow it (i think)
I am not only stupid but also poor...
Still I want to pay for some help and donate to the script...

Hi Jan,
I totally understand. A few features (the Client Map filters especially) are quite complicated, I agree. But once you wrap your head around them, they really do make sense.
Regarding the example, it's kind of hard to do in a generic way... it's really something I'd need to do specifically for you. If you *are* interested in hiring us, just send an email to jlo@encorewebstudios.com, linking to this post. He'd come up with an time and cost estimate.
All the best -
Ben
