Convert Form Builder Form - bhotrock - Jul 11th, 2014

Hi,

Is there anyway to convert an existing Form Builder form into either an internal or external form? I have a feeling I'm going to need to put this form on an external website and I'd like to avoid re-creating everything.

Thanks for a great tool !!!
Brad

Hi Brad,

In the Main tab you can change the Form Type to External Form. You'd still need to create the actual form but would not need to redo everything in the Form Tools admin. I would probably duplicate the form with the forms back up module first: http://modules.formtools.org/form_backup/ and use that instead of making changes to the Form Builder form. The backup module will duplicate everything you've setup in the form.

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks Joe!

That should work fine. I appreciate the quick response!

I wonder if you can answer a question that I have about Form Builder forms. This is the reason I'm considering making it an external form:

It seems that as soon as the Form Builder form page is loaded in a browser, the new record with submission ID, submission date, modified date, and IP is created. If the form is submitted, it seems to update the record and changes the value of the is_finalized field from no to yes.

If the form is never submitted, do those "mostly blank" records remain in the database? The problem I'm having with this is my specific use of the form. I'm using it to feed new accounts into an LDAP directory. The synchronization script is not happy that certain fields don't have a value.

I'm assuming that if I go to an external form, then the record is only created when the form with the full data is submitted. Is that correct? Should I also build is_finalized and the other "standard" fields into my external form?

Thanks again for your help!
