1) If user registers using Form A, and the user goes to Form B, I would like some of the fields on Form B prefilled with information the user already provided on Form A.

2) I would also like the user to be able to come back at a later date and revise the form information they already submitted on the forms if necessary. (Pulling information from database using account id lookup)

Are both 1 and 2 possible with existing features of RSform!Pro, or do they need additional professional scripting?

Thank you all in advance.

1) Auto-completing fields with information from the database is possible, but there is no default feature for this and you will have to use custom scripting. The following article addresses this requirement:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...-different-form.html

The following article also addresses a similar requirement:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...st-from-a-table.html

Also, the following article provides a list of placeholders that can be used in the fields' default value to prefill some account information like username and email:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...ticle/74-emails.html

2) You can display all users'/specific user's/logged-in user's submissions in the frontend, using the 'View Submissions' menu item, you can read more about it here:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...-view-menu-item.html

However, submissions can only be viewed in the frontend, not edited. Implementing this will require component modifications and advanced scripting knowledge.

You can read more about RSForm!Pro here:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...getting-started.html

and test it on our demo site:

demo25.rsjoomla.com
demo25.rsjoomla.com/administrator

Thank you very much for your considerate and detailed reply.

I would like to inquire about this privately to see if RSJoomla! can do this custom scripting for 1 & 2 for a fee.

The site I would like to create needs this functionality as the site will be very form heavy.

If it's possible, I'll submit an official ticket with the request.

Thank you.
