OK here’s my problem:

 

The User Defined Table and the Advanced Data Grid are great modules but I need something which looks better and is designed to suit my needs……So here’s what I was thinking.

 

How easy would it be to use the Text/HTML module to create the form and post data to another page? When the second page opens I could use the posted data using one of the above modules to insert data into a database.

 

I’ve used [dnn:userid] in a script which works fine, but how would I get posted data into that script. I suppose if I could display the posted data on the second page, I could work out how to use it in a script.

 

Am I thinking outside of the box and it’s easier than I imagine?

 

So in summary I need:

• Creating a form on page 1 for posting to page 2
• When page 2 opens, I could have a Text/HTML module which displays the posted data.
• Also on the page, I could have a hidden User Defined Table or the Advanced Data Grid which  uses the posted data to populate the database.

 

 

I know this might not make a lot of sense, but if someone could help, it would really be appreciated and you could be helping a number of other people.

I'm not sure that this can be done with "off-the-shelf" DotNetNuke. But, you might be able to do this with some of the commercially available modules. You might take a look at Xmod or ListX. You might also be able to do this with some of the modules that do forms and workflow (I'd use those a search terms).

I'd be very interested to know what you learn/find.

You mention that the UDT needs to "look better." Given that you can add your own XSL file to control display, doesn't that open up a whole host of possibilities?
