How to add records directly into CMS Builder.

Hi,

Yes you can do this. The best thing to do would be to first design your form. Once you've done this, if you could attach that code to this thread along with the names of all of the fields in your CMS table that you want to add to. Once I have this information, I can give you much more specific examples of what to do.

Hope this helps.

Hello Jason
Thanks for your feedback, sorry it's taken some time to prepare this. Never had a summer as busy as this one ever.

I have uploaded the design as requested and also added in the records names as the "initial values" of the form for you to easily see what goes where.

Now since this "Leave a Message" form is substantially shorter than what the actual output of the Testimonials would be, I wonder if you also can find a way to wrap the Testimonials around the form?

To recap, this is the functionality we're looking for:
- Automatically input the form fields into CMS Builder (but not show the records before they are approved)
- An approval for putting the Testimonials live (a simple Check Box would be perfect)
- Form to automatically be on top of each page (which it will in the current template)
- Also consider any security issues please, don't want any malicious code loaded straight into the database [;)]

Thanks in advance for your help on this!

Hi,

I took a look at your design, and have noticed couple of different issues:
- You don't have a <form> tag, which would be needed to have the form actually submit.
- Your form elements are being displayed as part of a foreach loop, which means you'll have a form for each $testimonials_multiRecords. You'll probably only want one comments form.
- each form element will need a unique name. right now, they are all named 'text'. We need a way to be able to differentiate them.

I've attached an example comments script that shows a form and writes a record to the database after the form has been submitted. Take a look at that, I think it will get you pointed in the right direction.

If you want, we can always do this project for you through consulting. If you're interested in that, please go to www.interactivetools.com/hire-us/ and fill out that form to get a free quote.

Thanks Jason

I just submitted a request for a free estimate.
