Form Builder, Form Browser, and sending email

Hello,

I've built a custom form using Form Builder, use db disposition.  Then I used Form Browser to view the data the form has collected.  Now I need to email all the users that are in this Form Builder db.  I use it as a registration form and now need to email all the participants, ASAP.

Thank you,

TJ

Hi there,

I don't believe form builder/browser was ever designed to do that :-/

there is a newsletter module
and you can probably export the DB from form browser
then import it to newsletter

but I don't know if ASAP is what you'll get, it may just not be that simple

Okay,  I guess if I can find the db the data is held in then I can write/borrow a php script to target each address, perhaps a loop?

Not sure how Form Builder names its db's...

Thanks,
Tim

it should be under modules_formbrowser/builder... something likme that!

usually it's really easy to find where they put it

if you have phpmyadmin or something for your mysql, you can just export the table, then import the users into newsletters....

This did work for me.  I wasn't to great at exporting the data from phpmysql but I got it done.

THanks,
Tim

Hey Tim,

Wonderful!!!

I'm glad that it worked & you were able to get it all out. I know it's not always easy to delve into mySQL, but if you have a good php admin (like phpmyadmin) it becomes much easier.
