Button to save user entered data to a table.

Hello,

I have created a form in orbeon with 3 fields. FirstName, lastname and emailaddress. I would like to add a button(which submits data when clicked on it)

Database I am using is Mysql

Can someone help me by providing steps?

Thanks,
Krishna.

Krishna,

Use Form Runner. It has a builtin Save button and MySQL persistence layerl

Re: Button to save user entered data to a table.

Erik,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I created the below said form using form builder. I have saved and published the form and entered data in it to save. Is that not the Form Runner? If not whats the form runner and how can we use it with mysql as db?
Can you be more clear on this

I am able to fetch data from my database but not able to save data to my database.

Thanks,
Krishna.

Krishna,

Yes, that's Form Runner. It uses a persistence API, documented here:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/contributor-guide/form-builder-integration-notes

We have a MySQL persistence layer which you can enable:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/form-runner/mysql-persistence-layer

Now it stores data into its own tables. If you need a different
layout, you will have to write your own implementation of the
persistence APIs.
