    We are currently using WordPress + Elementor Pro

     

    We need to build some pages which include forms

     

    Some of these forms will be ‘update’ forms, which connect to a mysql database and populate form fields with data from a table (using a querystring to identify the record to be updated.

     

    Some of these forms will be ‘insert’ forms which inserts the data from a form into a new table.

     

    Form field types will include text and drop down (where the drop down contents is defined by a separate query).

     

    I am used to VBScript using Dreamweaver (CD4).  However the site is WordPress which means that I have a steep learning curve.

     

    Can WPDataTables do all of the above.

    Hi Anthony

    Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

    Forms Integrations for wpDataTables can display entries of a form in a wpDataTable, and if you make that table editable, you'd be able to modify and delete existing entries, or to add new ones. Data from the linked tables resides on the linked source (Google Spreadsheet, Forms' database tables, Excel file, CSV file, etc), so the plugin doesn't store any data in the database. There is no was for wpDataTables to populate a form.
