Hello
I watched the documentation and the demo version.
I want to buy a form that allows to store the data (at registration) in fields custom field joomla or other component (example: joomla.digital-peak.com/products/dpcalendar )
Is there this mapping feature with your component or is it something that interests you in the medium term?

Example of a component that seems to do this with Joomla (but the administration interface is horrible: demo.web-dorado.com/administrator/index....ask=form_options&cid []=4)

I use with wordpress a plugin ( codecanyon.net/item/super-forms-drag-dro...er/13979866?s_rank=8 ) that allows to do it


2 / validation
is it possible to check the fields (email, url, phone ...)

Hello Hervé,

Thank you for interested in our product.
Please find below answers to your questions:

#1. Geek Form Builder does not support to add custom fields for registration form as well as other 3rd party components.
But this feature is unnecessary now, since version 3.7 of Joomla!, it already supports you to create custom Fields & Field Groups for User profile.

#2. Yes, the component supports create rules to valid form fields.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions about our products / services.

Hello,

1/I think we did not understand each other well.
I want to make a custom form (the calendar components forms are not as flexible) with access rights, conditions ....

It's up to the registration to map the fields of your form with the fields of another component as does your competitor (see link).
I also want to use the custom fields J! 3.7+ (DP calendar is compatible like other easy Easy component ....). More and more components are also compatible! It's the future :-)
I make what I want work with a WP form and I hope you can help me to do this mapping between fields (either as a new feature or with a function at the time of the registration of the form)
Thanks

Hi
While waiting for this feature, I will be interested to anticipate and buy your product for an equivalent functionality but that would serve me pure other cases!
I did not see on your documentation site.
The idea and submission of a form to be able to do actions
Mainly mapping fields of your form with fields from other components (as mentioned previous request)
but later with specific calculation sending specific mails

Can this be done in a plugin as with this solution with trigger:
docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/triggers

Hello,

Yes, you can develop a content plugin to trigger on events before and after submission is saved

docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/Content#onContentBeforeSave
docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/Content#onContentAfterSave

With the context is "com_geekform.entry"

Hello,

After considering, we decided to not develop this feature because some reasons as follows:

- This feature will often be used by developers to integrate form with other 3rd party extensions / web services.
And for developers, using plugin to do integration is the way more flexible, since they can:
+ process user submission data to be compatible with 3rd party extensions before inserting.
+ insert data into multiple database tables.
+ ..
We updated documantion page for how to develop plugin to trigger on event data process, you can learn more here .
We also developed sample integration plugin, you can download and modify it for your use purpose.

- It's not safe to allow user to update database table via backend interface.
If someone accidently update WHERE clause of SQL statement in backend, it can cause serious errors of database or make website work incorrectly.
And issues related to database are always hard to fix and revert.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Hello,

If I understand correctly you do not want to do a field mapping. I hear your arguments, although as I said another component joomla the fact (and an addon to a wordpress plugin that has been used for over a year: codecanyon.net/item/super-forms-frontend -posting / 17092502).
I can understand that there may not be a sufficient market!

The most important, because it may interest me for several use cases is that I hope you can help me integrate this plugin with DPcalendar, for the creation of an event

Good night
