Hi Steven,
I entered a request a moment ago but I don’t see it listed. I’ll try to re-create my question.
I apologize for not understanding how your plugins work. I need to have an easy to use form for new prospective members and for existing members who are renewing their membership. I want the form to contain only those fields which apply to them. I have the Connections plugin with the Extensions Pak and the cMap template.

I do have the CForm Builder plugin. Can I build the form in CForm and use it in Connections? If I build the form in CForm, how soes Connections recognize it?

REgards … Bob

re: I do have the CForm Builder plugin. Can I build the form in CForm and use it in Connections?

Maybe, I am not at all familiar with the CForm Builder plugin. I’m quite certain though it would need to have a custom processor API so you could write a process to insert the data submitted via its form into Connections.

If you want to create specific forms for multiple scenarios, the only option I see is to build the form with the form builder plugin of your choice and manually process the submissions.

Like I said in this reply, the Form extension for Connections is meant to be “plugin play”. The settings it has can be found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Form tab.

One thing that does confuse me though… You said you want two different forms. One for new submissions the other for editing… why wouldn’t the user be editing the same info that they submitted? I would think that you’d want them to be edit the same info.

I think I had another user ask a similar question:

Made me wonder if this is the same thing you’re asking… and I was not understanding.
