Save Widget data to Custom Table

What is the best way to save data entered into a custom widget to tables that I created?  Can the page node id be used to retrieve that data for display purposes?  Is there any documentation for this?

Hi Joe,

You have to create a custom data layer that will persist your properties in the table you want. Generally all properties are saved to [sf_control_properties] table of the database by OpenAccessDecorator

Hi Ivan,

Similarly we looking Joe's query. We have some fields like first name,position, amount etc...user enter these information and submit  however we want to store these information in a separate table . how SF provide us easiest way.

If we want to retrieve these information and display in a grid then we can write a query but where can we write this query.?

Hi All,

Pardon my ignorance. But, i'm curious as to the reasoning behind creating one's own tables vs. getting data from SF generated tables.

Just trying to learn about that approach and any of its related benefits.

Thanks in advance,
Gregory

Hi,

If it is a widget property, it is saved in the sf_control_properties table and you can query the data from there. If it is designer/widget specific you can use custom designer or other way to persist the data wherever you want.
