pilotguy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Sorry if this has been asked already. I didn't find anything. I'd like to know how if possible, to populate a field in a database (Name) with the information typed into a form by a user. So when they fill out "Name" on their form, it gets sent to a separate database and adds a record with the "Name" entered into the form. Can anyone help me with this?

Marc Stridgen Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Im not sure on what it is you are looking to achieve here, but have you had a look at using pages databases? This way you can add whatever fields you need and the rest is done for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi @Marc S - I have a form that users fill out when applying for membership. It has a field for a gamer tag. I have a separate database called "Gamer Tags." That DB has a field for a gamer tag to be entered into it which populates a page with the feed from that database showing "Gamer tags." I'd basically like to have that database populated automatically when some fills out the form I mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 For something like this just get Pages, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Use Pages for the membership form. Make sure to have an admin-only (hidden) field for approved/denied. Make the block feed from this membership app form, and then when displaying the content just filter on approved and display just gamertags or whatever. Might need to do this in the block template but still pretty easy. Otherwise it seems like a duplicated effort. Unless I'm missing something else going on.

The first thing to do, then, is read this article and the subsequent ones to get you used to what the features are and what they're called. After that, have a go at building this recipe database and then adapt it to your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Both good suggestions and I suppose it is high time I get to reading up on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, buddy, I was totally new to anything like this when I first got Pages. Now I could set up a database in a couple of minutes. I think a quick read and play-around would pay you back immensely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
