Hello all,

I just found this code base and it seems to be a great product and it is what I have been looking for.

I guess the subject says it all, how can I save the HTML code to database and then re-edit it. Code snippet would be much appreciated.

I can be in JSON, PHP, ASP or any language.

Thanks...Q

store the instance of MyFormView in a variable and convert the form collection to json and save it.

qfard commented

thanks.

before I do that, is there way to bring it back and re-edit the form?

mbchandar commented

yes. store the json in db. reload the json from db and give it to the collection as input

qfard commented

is there a sample code somewhere or tutorial I could follow? I am really new to this

qfard commented

no i didn't mean sample of serialize - i meant sample of the serialize, json, saving and retrieving it back... willing to pay for your time for sample too...

hehe, its really not too hard m8, im sure if u have a look around you will find full working examples of how to do it in existing form building web plugins for wordpress etc, i will have a try later on tonight and see if i can do it ok! and ill post back here later to let you know how i go.

mbchandar commented

you are doing it in PHP?

ibanez0r commented

I will try, sure!

qfard commented

I can do the page in PHP or ASP... I want to have it display on the page and have a lightbox popup for edit mode and the popup can be in PHP or ASP.

thanks guys.

Well i had a quick look into doing this, i am too busy sadly tonight to do the entire script but i can give an example of how to save your form then load it, i will fork this and post tomorrow at some point a full working example. as its really not very complex i dont req any payment brother.
