FormBrowser Admininister not showing form fields

Post by amhoffmaster »

I created a form (http://www.hfmadv.org/New/index.php?page=application) with the FormBrowser disposition then created a Formbrowser for that form. My main goal is to use the Formbrowser so my customer can export the results of the form to Excel. And the results export fine (although I would like to have the "Admin Approved" and "User Approved" fields not exported so if anyone knows how to do that, please let me know).

My main question lies in the Admin List template. When I administer the browser, it only shows 1 field, Date Submitted in the list view. When I click the magnifying glass for a record, I only see the Date Submitted field. When I click Edit....I see all the fields that were entered in the form. I want it to at least show the First & Last Name and the Date submitted. How do you define the fields in the Admin list template so that it shows those fields when I administer the browser?

I'd like to use the formbrowser for several different forms just for the export function so they could be further formatted into a report format for my customer.

I am not a programmer. So I'll need detailed instructions. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

I'm using
CMSMS 1.8.2
Formbuilder 0.6.3
FormBrowser 0.3.2

Thanks.

Hi!

This occurs if you don't set up which fields are visible in the Form Browser. To set the visibility of fields start by logging into the Admin Console, then...
  1. Go to Content > Form Browser.
  2. Click on a Form Browser Name to edit it.
  3. Near the bottom you should see four dropdown boxes underneath the labels "Display Order in List", "Display Order in Full View", "Display Order in Admin List", and "Display Order in Admin Full View". There are probably lots or all of them set to "Do Not Display". You will have to change these to be in the order that you want them displayed in the Form Browser.
  4. Click either "Save" or "Save and Continue Editing" to save the changes.
That should do it! Let us know if this doesn't fix the problem. Sorry it took so long for you to get a response!

I don't know if it must use UTD to connect the Formbulid and Formbrowser.But when I submit the form, I just received the follow message:
Error! Either the form has no form_builder disposition, or it failed to instantiate (due to memory issues?)
Could you give me a sample?
Thank you.

That error message actually should have said "Form Browser" instead of "form_builder". It means that your form does not have a Form Browser Disposition, "*Store Results for FormBrowser Module v.0.3", field. Add this field, and the error message should go away and Form Browser should work.
