How to Display Individual Form Details from Table

I’ve gotten this question a few time. So I just created this FAQ: Creating a Master-Detail View

Thanks, Michael.

That is a very detailed response (exactly something a non coder like me would expect), which is deeply appreciated.

Let me work on this and revert in case I run into some hurdles.

Cheers!

Michael!

This latest addition (although probably always a feature) is just brilliant. Many thanks for the FAQ which allows our users to see all details of their submission outside of the table view.

Very much appreciated.

Hi Michael,

I tested the ‘Master Detail View’ with Contact Form 7 and it worked fine, just as you guided me.

However, I am not able to achieve the same with ‘Form maker’ plugin.

What I have done till now is this:
– pasted shortcode [cfdb-save-form-maker-page] on the page with the form, using a default form maker form [Form id=”1″]
– created master page and copy/pasted your code as guided with correct form name
– created detail page with link and copy/pasted code as guided for CF7.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards

The question of getting values from Form Maker and that of creating the master-detail view are entirely separate.

(1) To the first question, do you have a Form Maker form on some page and does CFDB save its submissions?

(2) Given that you have some data captured in CFDB, (regardless of what form plugin you use), you can then make a master-detail view.

It is not clear from your post what part is not working, and what happens when you try.

Thanks for your reply, Michael.

Actually, I was not able to create the master-detail view for Form Maker. I replicated your code just like Contact Form 7, but could not find the tags for each field in Form Maker (You used tags for each field in the display page code for CF7, like first-name, last-name etc.)

[cfdb-html form="services enquiry" filter="submit_time=$_GET(st)"]
First Name:     ${first-name} <br/>
Last Name:      ${last-name} <br/>
Address:        ${street} <br/>
City:           ${city} <br/>
State:          ${state} <br/>
Postal Code:    ${postal-code} <br/>
Country:        ${country} <br/>
[/cfdb-html]

However, I could successfully replicate the same on Fast Secure Contact Form, where the visual appearance of the form is much better than CF7.

Am looking for support on two more things:
– Is it possible to improve the appearance of the table in Master view page.
Can some HTML/CSS be applied to make the table larger with borders/shading, as well as increase the font size of entries.

– Also, can the entries on Master view page be subjected to any ‘Search/Filter’ operation through a plugin (For e.g., can I filter entries for a particular city or particular skill from the master page, rather than scrolling hundreds of entries to find an entry of my interest).

Many thanks in advance.

1. You can add any CSS you like to improve the look of the table. You can add it directly in the shortcode using the “style” attribute or add it to you page by some other means. Use the “id” attribute to give the table an html id to use as a selector in your CSS

2. Search form for master page: https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=680

Noted & thanks, Michael.
Always appreciate your promptness & support.
