Hi, 

I am a newbie, just uploaded the Formidable forms plugin to my wordpress site.

I want the data entered into the form to be saved to the database as well as emailed to me. The email works fine. I am trying to find if the data entered was also saved to the DB , if yes, which tables?

I need to be able to retrieve this data.

thanks

Entries are saved to the database regardless of whether you are using Pro or not. They go to frm_forms, frm_fields, frm_items, and frm_item_metas. You can retrieve data with custom code, or you can upgrade to Pro where it is all built-in.

I have Pro installed. I still can't find how to show entries on a Page. Are there any tutorials? the manual just doesn't cut it on all accounts! (sorry its a great plug-in just not clear in the manual how to use it).

I just started setting up a demo site here. What exactly are you looking for more info on? What are you trying to do?

would greatly appreciate if you could inform usas to the location of those frm location?

thanks for letting us know you can retrieve vis 'custom code' could you supply us with that 'custom code'

or is every reply going to be the same bait n switch 'if you upgrade to pro you be able to get that information?'Confused

You can retreive entries with this:

$entries = FrmEntry::getAll($where = '', $order_by = '', $limit = '');

Feel free to dig through the functions in the formidable/classes/models folder for lots more functions like this. There isn't one simple answer to that question, which is why it would be "custom code", meaning you would have to write it yourself.

Since you are using the free version, and the pro users are paying for their support, I am unable to walk you through customizations as I do with Pro users, especially since most of what you want I have already written for the Pro version. So, if you would like support with customizations, you will need to upgrade to the Pro version. Sorry!
