Formbrowser export/import submissions?

Post by JiiPee »

Hi, is there a way to export/import formbrowser submissions from one cmsms installation to another?

Can I just install fresh formbuilder to new site and then copy over all the files from old sites modules/formbuilder?

Form builder forms were easy to copy just export/import in xml format.

No not in the same way as Formbuilder. You can either copy the whole of the existing site and then just delete what content you don't need. Or set up a fresh install including Formbrowser, export the table(s) relating to Formbrowser from the existing database and import into the new database on the command line if you have access.

Hi and thank you!

Do you know if those database tables could be copied with phpmyadmin? If they could, would you let me know, please.

I generally don't use phpmyadmin but use the command line instead.

*** dumping a mysql table to a file (MySql statements)
mysqldump -uuser -ppassword -hhost databasename tablename1 tablename2 > sql.txt

*** uploading sql commands (or a dump) back into mysql
mysql -uuser -ppassword -hhost databasename < sql.txt

Hi,

Just pay attention because certain tables in formbrowser have an "id" like field which is not auto incremential!! Which means it is incremented another way, I don't know which, but the result is that it becomes buggy.
