Multi-Step Forms Support + Edit Database Entry

Hi @zaeb ,

Thanks for using these plugins, I am sorry but I do not really understand all the points of your first question clearly.But for what I do understand;

1. The fact that, when your form is just 3 steps to completetion, the datas does not get duplicated in the Database as per current test (you could check again and be sure) OR just record a screencast to show this bug from your end?

Also, on the question 1, please note that the datas are only saved once a “step” is clicked, so the last step cannot be saved without the “submit” button being clicked.

2. YES, this tool allows you to edit entries that are already saved in the database:

Thank you.

thank you very much for your quick response

1. you are right. they are not duplicated (in the backend display). just every multi step form (if its three steps to completion) has its own data. I was more looking at the actual database inside mysql to understand how it is stored. like inside the “vfg_cf7_data_entry” table all the form data is stored. how do I query only the data of the completed (last step) forms?

2. thank you but sorry I stated the wrong question. I want to give the user the possibility to edit the same form again later. thus is there a way to show a specific data entry from the CF7 Database to the user with the help of the same CF7 form?

Hi @zaeb ,

In other to answer your questions;

1. (a). “just every multi-step form (if its three steps to completion) has its own data.”
==> Can you record a short screencast to show this?

(b). How is the actual data stored inside MySQL database?
==> If you are a developer, you could open and check the plugin to know how it works.

(c). “How do I query only the data of the completed (last step) forms?”
==> Please note that this is not possible.

2. Please note that this is not possible to do as well, once the data have been saved by the Database plugin, it is no more accessible by the user, but by the Admins only.

Thanks and let us know if you need further clarifications.

Kind regards,
-Bruce-

thank you very much for your reply and sorry about my late response but the second question becomes important again and can you maybe give me a hint

how to load a saved database entry inside a CF7 form to edit again? do I have to code that manually or can you propose a shortcut?
the user should have the option to change the data in the form after it is sent. I am looking for a custom solution right now

thank you very much

Hi @zaeb ,

Thank you for getting back to us, I am sorry to say but it is not possible for visitors to have editable access to an already submitted form, even the custom function possibility is not feasible now.

Kind regards,

thank you @ninjateamwp – too bad but I guess I have to code it then to load the data into a custom form

cheers
