Please help as how to add a form
cmspals - July 12, 2007 - 11:39
1) I have to create a form with 'n' elements and on submission of the form take me to the landing page.
How is this possible in Drupal.
2) Is this related to taxonomy module ,if so how do i implement this??
Please Guide!!!
Thanks in advance.
what are you actually trying to do?
Probably not taxonomy.
Probably webform.module - which is as wizardly as it can be. Try that.
Possibly you need CCK or Profile instead, but your description of the problem is very vague. What is the info you are capturing and what to you expect to do with it?

How to create a form which takes inputs from the end - user ? is my query.

No good.
If you just want to make a form, and you've decided that none of the three modules I suggested are what you want, then you can try
making a form using HTML
However, that won't help you save or get the data back.
I asked : what is the data and what do you want to do with it?
You didn't say, and replied you just want to get "it".
Not a useful answer.
Think harder.
Do you ever want to see that data again?
If so, how?
If you can figure that out, you'll be a bit closer to choosing a method...
What is it about webform that's not good enough for you?
If you want to make it from scratch, you could try reading some documentation but there's probably an easier answer if you can just figure out what the question is.

@dman and @fronbow
Since am working out examples on my own, thats the reason why i dint mention the field names,data in detail.
Thanks for the useful information provided.
As dman said, it sounds like
As dman said, it sounds like you need the webform module.
With this, you create a form (fields, labels, descriptions, their allowable length, etc) within drupal then publish it. I think there's more options but we just use it for big forms.
When users start filling in the forms, you get reporting functionality as part of webform so you can analyse your webform a bit (see which fields are getting filled in, what are the popular entries, that kind of thing!)
Hi,
Hi,
I am rather new to Drupal. But I think I am facing the same problem as cmspals. I am using webform but I am not sure how to fully utilize it. I want to create a form that accepts user input and save the data into the database. Later on, I want to retrieve the information out for editing and updating purpose. How can I do that using the webform?
Can anyone please help me on this? Thanks in advance.
Try it
1. Install webform.module.
2. Create a webform page (Create content).
3. Click the buttons. Everything you want is there on the pages

How to update?
Hi dman,
I have done all that for now, but I can't find how to update the inserted records. Let's say I inserted 3 records. Now, I want to update some of the records. How can I do that?
I don't think webform is
I don't think webform is intended for this.
As the name suggests, it's a web form, so why would you want to update a form entry?
Maybe you need to look into other modules if you want something that does more than custom forms??
Updating Webform
Hi,..
Is there any way for updating the data using webforms.
If not webform, is there any other module which can take data inserted using webform and update it?
Thankyou,
Can you explain a bit more,
Can you explain a bit more, what do you mean by update it?
Do you want to update the actual webform, or the data corresponding to the form?
If you want to update (edit) the webform, use the edit button! If it's the data, then, why would you want to update it? (It's presumably filled in by your users)
Webform update
Hi,
I want to retrieve the data stored in the database using webform and then update any required fields.
Suppose i have username and E-mail ID fields, and users want to change the data in the future.
How can this be done using webform
Please let me know.
Thanks
Webform is designed more for
Webform is designed more for submissions, surveys etc. Write-only.
Sounds like you should be using profile.module instead.

form fields update
Can we create a form wil Email ID and resume upload fields using profile module.
And then retrieve the information from database and edit/update the same?
Thanks
Have you tried?
Have you tried?
I'm guessing you mean a résumé (file) upload field rather than a resume (continue) upload something. It was a bit WTF the first few times I read your post.
Anyway, I think so. Try it!
