Hey there, Awesome Customers!
Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.
During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.
We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!
In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.
Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!
Catch you on the flip side!
Warm regards,
TMS
The Submit button on my Gravity Forms form sends the data input on that form to my by email.
What do I need and how can I also send that data to a table I can create in my existing database (MySQL on Hostgator)?
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.
If I understand you right you should check out Gravity form support to checkout how to do that.
What is possible in our plugin is to create tables from Gravity forms data with wpDataTables and our Gravity integration add-on. You can read more about this here. It will not be created new table in database, we are using synchronization with Gravity tables in database for CRUD(Insert, Update or delete entries)
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Isidora Markovic

Hi Milan,
Thanks for your response. I viewed the videos and have a question to see if I can use wpDataTables:
Can I access the data in the table created from the plugin so I can process that data in my program without user intervention? I can't see how just viewing or editing it on a web page could possibly do that.
However, if it were to put the data in a .csv file which I could access, or a table in a MySQL database on my host (Hostgator), that would be great.
Steve
Background: My current website (non-WordPress) does that but I don't have the source for it. Its shortcomings require a rebuild. I program in Visual Foxpro, but my php/html knowledge is limited so I'm trying WordPress with Gravity Forms, hoping to "capture" the data entered.
Hello Steve
Gravity Forms (along with all other form plugins) store data in multiple tables as serialized arrays. Pulling that data into wpDataTables is done with an SQL query that runs in the background, and is generated programmatically.
This means that wpDataTables is not storing the data in the database or anywhere else, but is just displaying the data from Gravity Forms' entries in a wpDataTable.
Kind Regards,

Thank you Aleksandar, for explaining how that works. My next question is where does that wpData Table lie? And is it possible to access the table (or the data IN the table) from my Windows PC, particularly from my Foxpro program?
Steve
Hi again Steve
The table's structure exists in wp_wpdatatables_columns database table, where only the configuration of columns and options are stored. The data itself is still in Gravity's database tables, and it's being pulled into wpDataTables using a programmatically created MySQL query.
Unfortunately, you can't see the query nor the actual data anywhere else other than in the wpDataTable.
Kind Regards,
