I am new to Joomla and RSForms Pro. so this may be a basis question, but I cannot find an answer on the forums or elsewhere.

I have a Joomla 2.5 site where a custom table has been added, with a Full Text index over some fields.

The requirement is to present the users a custom search page that searches over this custom table and displays the results neatly formatted.

I have created a form to enter the search term, and in the "Post Form Data" I have written some php that actually performs the search, then loops through the results and output/format them into a html table.

That is all good, but I should be placing this info on a search results page that works within the Joomla framework and renders it in teh current template.

How do I achieve this?

Thank you

I mean the

Script called on form process $_POST form data can be modified here, before it is added to the database.
Remember to not include the <?php and ?> tags.

As I cannot get any assistance with this, I have looked elsewhere for a solution and have found one.

It was a fruitless waste of time exploring teh forms option.

Ah well you live and learn
