    I have created multiple application forms which work great. My question is: is there a way to take the data from the form and put it in a mysql database? I get a wonderful email for all the applications but then I must manually enter data into our database.
    Any comments will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi, @revstancline!

    Thank you for posting your inquiry!

    Form Maker stores the submitted information into #_formmaker_submits MySQL database table of your website.

    However, you can store the information on a table of your choice using MySQL Mapping feature of Form Maker. It lets you connect your form to a Local or Remote database table and keep the data there as well.

    You can configure a query from Form Options > MySQL Mapping page. Give this a try and let us know in case you have questions.

    Thanks! Have a wonderful day!

    Well I found the #_formmaker_submits but no entries for recent form activity.

    Also the only options I found in the form maker plugin on my site is a global options. This was not present form options>MySQL Mapping.

    What I see in the database is several entries while I was developing the form.
    This is what I see:

    + Options
    Partial texts
    id form_id element_label element_value group_id date ip user_id_wd

    As I said we have received several applications that are not showing here.
    The data from the form itself is not showing anywhere that I can see it.

    What did I do wrong?

    Hi, @revstancline!

    Please make sure Save data (to database) option is activated. You can check that from Form Options > General Options of your form.

    If this option is enabled, you should receive the submissions on #_formmaker_submits table. Let us know how it goes.

    Cheers!

    I am running version 2.11.6 of Form Maker Pro. When I go to Form Maker in my Dashboard I do not have a selection for Form Options. The only “option” I have is called Global Options.

    Can you tell me why I can’t see the Form Options?

    Hey,

    Please check this reply to your second topic, where I have mentioned where Form Options are. Let me know in case you will have further questions.

    Thanks! Have a good day!
