Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

Hello!  : )

I am currently working on trying to figure out how to display data in a custom module, where the data is coming from previously entered custom forms, created with Form Wizard Pro.

Are there any examples of something similar to this?

Where does the file attachment go that is uploaded with the custom form data?

Thanks!

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

Just to add a bit more information here... I'm trying to set up a system where the Form Wizard Pro module is being used to "add a new person" to the site, then have a module that will display the information from the form data...  Is this the best way to do something like that, or is there something else already built in that might work better?

Thanks again! : )

Have you looked into the Profile Configuration capability already built into mojoPortal? Once everything is configured the way you want it the Registration process will then collect the information you desire and you can use the Profile display and/or Member List to see the information.

That is how I would do it unless I am misunderstanding the process you are trying to create for signing up new users.

Thanks - that's a good idea... what I am trying to do is use the Form Wizard Pro as the front end for a junior admin to add more staff member information, to be displayed on a "Our Staff" page, with their picture, as uploaded through the Form Wizard Pro form...

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

The Profile Configuration method that Kerry mentioned is your best bet. Using Form Wizard for this kind of thing is going to be very prone to errors. For instance, if you remove a field from Form Wizard it has no method to tell your other page that the field has been removed. What happens when the user is deleted, or if a field needs to be updated with different data? Form Wizard doesn't allow submitted data to be changed so you're kind of stuck there.

Once you add the custom profile properties, the junior admin can update the information as needed and you can create a custom page or module for your "Our Staff" page to display the data in any way you want. The MemberList.aspx and UserProfile.aspx pages are a great place to grab code for your own module or page.

HTH,
Joe D.

Good points there Joe, and thanks to both of you!  I'll try to utilize the built in Profile Configuration then...  : )

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

are the accounts that are set up through the "Register" link, and the one created through Administration - "Add New User" different?

No, they create the same thing, just one allows a user to register themselves, and the other allows an administrator to create a user account for someone.

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

Thanks Kerry!

Looks like this will meet a good portion of what I am looking for...  

Does anyone know if there is any possibility to change out the "Avatar" for "Picture" and have the ability to upload a picture instead?

Thanks again for all of your assistance!

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

Sorry - this is getting more into the realm of questions just about customizing profiles now, but just wondering if there is any option for a multiple choice option list, or perhaps a checkbox.....

Re: Trying to set up a module to display form data from Form Wizard Pro

For the Avatar question, you can go to Site Settings for your site and change the value for the Avatar System setting. Sounds like you will probably want the User Upload option.

For the check box and multiple choice question, reference the Profile Configuration page

For check box see the 'Type' section of how to use Boolean.

For the multiple choice see the Gender example for the use of Option List.
