Form Requests

Posted by Community Admin on 23-Nov-2010 00:00

1) Fix the form tablename generation to have a frm_ prefix...In a year, with a ton of forms, the DB structure is going to be a disaster if they aren't sorted like the sf_ tables

2) Can you also have it store\show the language the form was completed in?

Hi Steve,

Request 1 will be very helpful indeed. We logged it to our our Feature Request system (#100187) and will include it in one of the first releases after the official release.

Request 2 was also logged (#100188). This implementation will most probably go in Q2 of 2011.

Thanks for the valuable suggestions!

Kind regards,

For the life of me I can't remember if the RC forms had ANY prefix, but I don't think they did...?

I made a contact form, but in my DB now it's there as "sf_contactform"...so it's sorted right in the middle of all the other sitefinity system tables...could you either change sf_X to frm_X, or at least sf_frm_X ?

Hi Steve,

Currently you can set the default prefix for forms in Administration->Settings->Advanced
Then in the settins tree:
ContentView->Controls->Forms Backend->Views->FormsBackendInsert->Sections->MainSection->Fields->Name - see the PrefixText property. We'll place this setting at a higher level and it will be easier to access (Forms->FormsTablePrefix).

Regarding the language - it will be included in the next weekly developer's build

Bah, no need to move it up in the tree :)

As long as it's somewhere (although a search function would be nice)

*EDIT*
You know what would be nice though...even if searching isnt there...just sort the items in that node, they're all out of order.

I JUST ran into this problem yet again

Could we not just set the default from "sf_" to something better like "sf_forms_frm_"

Id like you to please find me a person who wants their forms tables placed randomly allover the place in the schema :) It's madness (sparta)

Theres no logical reason to keep it the way it is.
