It looks like this plugin has been abandoned which is such a pity. The Plugin is open source so it would be great if someone took it on to develop it further.
]]>I Have just installed this plugin and it works very well. I am surprised that this appears to be the only plugin that provides this facility. For that reason it is disappointing that the developer appears to have abandoned the project.
I picked up one of the comments on the plugin reviews which states

Plugin works as advertised. It was almost exactly what I needed, so I emailed the developer and she helped me make the modifications I needed to make it do exactly what our site needs.
This plugin has a shortcode for displaying the collected data onto the front end of your site. In my searching this is a unique feature that was just what I was looking for.
**********************************************************************************
Does anyone know the shortcode for displaying the collected data. This would be so useful. It’s a shame it isn’t mentioned anywhere in the forum instructions.
Also it would be good if the layout of the fields etc on the front end could be changed in order to give a better looking page display.
Thanks
]]>This is a very good plugin. Met all my needs but one. Is there a way to increase the number of options you have in a dropdown field from 12 to as many as you want?
]]>Fatal error in email notification function when wordpress upgraded.
Invalid address.
I installed this plugin, under the page redirect I copied and pasted the URL I wanted the submission page go but it won’t just an empty page show’s saying the page isn’t working. But the page redirect works on my local server (xampp) but will not work on my live server
]]>Hello,
I am encountering two problems:
1 – I have a required field that is a dropdown selection of numbers between 0 and 10. The “required” algorithm is reading the “0” as a null result and returning the “you must fill out all required fields” error.
2 – Upon submitting the form after I fixed that error, I got a fatal error that said this:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: (setFrom) wordpress@Dedicated Neural Net.com’ in /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:1023 Stack trace: #0 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/pluggable.php(352): PHPMailer->setFrom(‘wordpress@Dedic…’, ‘Dedicated Neura…’, false) #1 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-content/plugins/data-storage/ghazale-data-storage-main.php(897): wp_mail(‘contact@dedicat…’, ‘You have new en…’, ‘<p>You have new…’, ‘From:Dedicated …’) #2 [internal function]: ghazale_ds_insert_field_inputs(”) #3 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): call_user_func_array(‘ghazale_ds_inse…’, Array) #4 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #5 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #6 /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-settings.php(470): do_action(‘wp_loaded’) #7 in /home/dh_tqfr4z/dedicatedneural.net/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 1023
Glancing at the error, it seems to think my email address is malformed, but of course, that should yield an error message within the program, not kill the app.
Thanks for contributing to the wordpress community!
]]>My data storage admin email notification stopped working. I’ve tried re-saving the form and the WP page where used and tried a different email address. Data is still being stored in inputs table. Is there a way to troubleshoot the email function or turn on an error log?
]]>Hello Ghazale,
Happy new year 2017. All the very best to you. I have recently downloaded your DataStorage plugin and I was very impressed with how convenient it is to use. Thank you for that. I’m contacting you because I had a couple of questions about your plugin:
1- Is it possible to just view the data that was entered on the forms in a simple way (like shortcode on a page)?
2- Do you customize wordpress plugins or themes for a fee?
3- Have you ever thought of designing a plugin that would allow people to view and edit their wordpress database from a backend interface? In other words, people could select a table and it would let them either edit the contents (fields) of the selected table via a form that recreates all the fields in the table so the user can just enter data. it would also let them create shortcodes for viewing the data contained in any tables based on user restrictions of course. I think this plugin could be really useful to many, and I don’t think anybody has developed anything like that. what do you think about the idea?
Thanks in advance for the feedback on my questions, and looking forward to reading your answers.
Best Regards,
Hamed
]]>This plugin is nice ??
The only thing i would need is a way for the member that entered there info in this plugin to be able to remove there info them selves.
im using this to create a mailing list of email address that the ppl on my site signup up for
i then copy the emails to other mailing software.
but i need a way for the ppl that sing-up to be able to remove there email from this list.
(Like someone retype his own e-mail address again, and if there is a match in the DB, it will be deleted)
just wandering if there is a way for you to add this feature.
]]>Hi! I like this plugins and I test it to collect any data! I have a little problem – in my country usualy people use 24h format and this plugins have only 12h (AM/PM) version of TIME restriction! It is possible to modify the code to use 24H format? Thank You!
]]>Hi There,
I have installed the plugin and created a new Form. When I put the short code on a post, the Form is shown correctly with all the fields.
But whenever I put the code on a page, no form is shown except the text “There is no input.”
See the Page: https://www.languageclinicbd.com/data-entry
See the post: https://www.languageclinicbd.com/2016/08/16/data-entry-for-bcs
I can’t understand the problem.
Please help.

Hi There
Are you willing to make small modifications for me?
Thanks let me know.
Hello,
I am a new WordPress developer (about a month) working on a project as an in-house programmer. Our system has custom tables feeding data to templates that create pages. We need to create a way for users to enter data into the custom tables. My boss doesn’t want me to re-invent the wheel and create my own plugin, so I am researching existing plugins.
I really like CSDES, but since I don’t think we need searchable forms (the search will be elsewhere), I decided to experiment with the Data Storage plugin. It looks like a very good plugin, but there are 2 things I wish it did.
Since our custom tables already exist, the first thing I want Data Storage to do is write to existing tables, not ones created and maintained by DS. (Thinking about it, though, this is probably my preference and not a requirement; whatever the tables are named will be invisible to the users. I guess I just don’t want to re-enter a lot of data.)
There is at least one use-case where seeing existing data would be helpful while entering new data, but the forms DS creates only have data fields. They do not have any content (even to explain what a field is). I would like forms that allow me to put data and text in them.
So my question is this: Do you think the Data Storage plugin could be easily modified (by you or me) to do these two things, or should I start from scratch?
Thank you.
]]>When I go to upload a csv file I get the below?
WordPress 4.5.2 running Enigma-Pro theme.

Most likely cause:

What you can try:
Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
]]>thank you for great plugin.
Several questions
1.The form is to be used on a daily login basis – possibly the text will be prepared in Word, however on tests the cut and paste is not accepted and there is an error message.
2.After submitting the form and receiving the entry submitted message, the whole form filled in remains on the screen. is there a way to rest the form to add a different entry.
3.Is it possible to format the text so that chosen headings can be in bold or italics
4.It is quite difficult to reorder the fields using the arrows especially to insert a new field and then move it to near the top of a long form
thank you again

How do i install a counter to display how many times a form has been filled out? It would be great to show a counter before and after the form was submitted.
]]>I had number of people having trouble loading the website with IE8. I understand that IE8 is very much outdated version, but a lot of our customers are older people who never updates their browsers. Is there anyway to test with IE8 see if there can be any fix?
]]>Hi,
The 2.4.1 plugin works just fine on my main site, but I found interesting behaviors when the plugin is “network activated.”
Before the plugin will work on a subsite, a form needs to be created in the main site first. Once that’s done, any forms created for subsites will show up.
The subsite forms still work even after the main site forms are deleted. Forms seem to be available only in the site they were created. I can’t use a form from the main site in a subsite, and I can’t use a form from a subsite in the main site.
One other note: the “clear” button is styled differently than the other buttons.
]]>Hi, I wanted to ask how I can query the table for a specific piece of datum? Let’s say for example I have one column that I use as the key and I know what the key is already, but I need to find something from that same row in a different column.
I don’t imagine this would be done in any shortcode sort of fashion, I’m good with PHP. I just don’t know the structure and such that I should be using.
]]>I was thrilled to find your plugin for data collection and storage, but unfortunately had to suspend its use due to the special character restrictions. I understand the purpose, but even curly apostrophes aren’t accepted. For our use, people would be copying and pasting text, and curly apostrophes are quite common. I thought you would want to know in case there’s an option to change that.
]]>Hi there,
interesting plugin with great capabilities.
However, I am missing one important thing: the ability to create radio buttons that would allow for 1 (one) field to give a choice of several options.
Example: field “T-Shirt” -> options “XS”, “S”, “M”, “L”, “XL”.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to build a shop with this plugin – although that seems possible ?? – the above example is only for illustration of what I’d like to achieve.
Thanks for your answer!
Best,

Hi ghazele,
very nice work and an idea we were looking for since longer time. This plugin would give us a good realization possibility for our photo competition. People could upload three pictures very easily, leave their names and adresses etc. I didn’t found a suitable plugin for this purposes so far.
Therefore I took a closer look on the features you are offering.
Knowing that your plugin is extremely new, I would recommend to improve some parts (which are currently the reason for me to not use it in the productive environment):
– The plugin is limited on one table only. To collect data in a second table (for a different purpose) it is necessary to set up a second wordpress system.
– Each column of the table you are creating is limited to a varchar(255). Entering more text in a text area field will be truncated without comment.
– The varchar size (especially for text areas) should be definable.
– All in all the plugin would be more useful if you can define the number and the type of the columns first, and create the table afterwards.
– If you have several columns in your table and much text in a text area field, this column is very tall in the backend and the table is not readable in anymore. You should truncate the overview of such fields to maybe 30 chars and append an “…” to it.
– Storage of attachments: I would recommend to ask the user to define a subfolder for each of your tables in the uploads folder of wordpress. (Example: With this you can store all the uploads in one specified directory and it is not mixed up with other uploaded content. For a photo competition you would have all pictures in a dedicated folder and download it for review completely)
– In the current version it is possible to be spammed from robots etc. It is necessary to integrate a capture code together with the submit button.
– Security: Have you checked your input fields concerning SQL injection? I had ugly problems with that in the past, thats why I am asking.
So far, a very interesting plugin. I have set it under “observation” to see the progress in the next time and will definitly retest it when there are next versions.
I think you are on a good way.
I wish you good luck, many users and all the best for your plugin!
Best Regards
Ralf
