new user - Form Builder questions - mikew12345 - Sep 16th, 2012 Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I submitted my questions through the documentation add-on but can't find the post here. I'm totally new to Form Builder and Form Tools, and have some questions. 1) Dropdown lists: a) How do you specify the contents of dropdown lists? I selected a dropdown list type but see no way to give it a list of values. b) How do you specify what actually gets stored in the DB? For example, how would I make it display yes or no on the form, but save 1 or 0 in the DB? 2) How do you hook up a form to an existing db table for editing existing records? 3) How do you hook up a new form to Form Tools so new records get submitted to the DB? Or is that happening already with the Publish button? Thanks for any help. Mike RE: new user - Form Builder questions - mrGarvin - Sep 18th, 2012 All of your questions are more or less answered in the documentation. I recommend that you study it first, and then come back with any further questions. http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/index.php?page=index Dropdown lists and the values that gets stored is addressed in the documentation under "Option Lists" http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?page=field_option_groups All you need to know about using a form with the database is also covered (of course) in the documentation: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?page=form_management RE: new user - Form Builder questions - mikew12345 - Sep 18th, 2012 Thanks much for the links, I appreciate it.
