Displaying Form Data on a Spreadsheet within the Same Page

  • I think this is a Gravity Forms Question.

    I want to have a form and upon submit, the values that were just entered into the form get displayed in a table below on the same page. Is it possible?

    I must admit, displaying form data in a WordPress environment is a lot harder than I thought and don’t know why I need to buy a plugin to do this. I wish it was part of core. Compare this to ColdFusion, ASP, .net, Perl CGI, where forms and output of form values are a basic functionality.

  • WordPress is originally a blogging package, and has grown into becoming a content management system (CMS).

    ColdFusion, asp.net etc are web application development platforms.

    One can use a web application development platform to develop a CMS package like WordPress.

    A CMS is a different beast than a web application development platform.

    Each is designed for very different use cases and each has its pros and cons.

    If WordPress is a lot harder than you thought it is because it is not designed out of the box to do what you want. You can of course use plugins or write code to extend WP.

    If you are using this plugin then you may get better response if you post the issue to this plugin instead of the general wordpress forum.
