Hi there,
I have just started playing with Form Tools, and it looks as though it will solve a lot of what I'm trying to achieve, but I'm not sure if the following is possible:
I would like to have a form has the following field:
Game Reference (a unique internal identifier)
Once the user submits the form with the unique identifier, I would like Form Tools to verify whether a record already exists for that unique identifier. If it does, then it brings up the form (with a couple of different fields) with the fields already populated with the existing information, and the user can change the information, and submit the changes.
If the unique record does not already exist, I would like it to bring up the same form, but the fields would obviously not already be populated, because no information exists for those fields yet.
Is anything like this possible at all using Form Tools, and how would I go about doing that?
I have searched the forums, but I haven't been able to find a solution.
I have Form Tools 2.2.6 installed, with the Submission Accounts module installed (from what I could gather from reading a lot of forum posts, I need this module to enable editing of submissions).
I have a little bit of PHP experience, but not a heck of a lot, so please take it easy on me.
Thanks in advance.
