 Description   

Hi. During our work with For2DB we found few things, that maybe can be improved:

  • fields order in application does not reflect fields order in exported excel document. Maybe fields should be ordered like in front-end form?
  • when file is uploaded, there is no name for it - if we would have few file upload fields we wouldn't know which file is which
  • when we do export to excel, we don't have any reference to uploaded file - maybe at least information about file is possible there?

Regards
Mariusz

Hi Mariusz,

i would like to answer on your questions:
1. i thought a lot about sorting that data. But i had some trouble resorting the entries in the database if someone changes order of elements in the form. Do you have an idea?
2. Do you mean the file should be named like the fieldname in the form?
3. Would be possible. Maybe i can add this in future releases.

one tipp: If you use attachment form with my module i recommend to update the module to 1.0.8 (5.3) or 1.1 (5.4). I fixed the bug with attachment size which makes it actualy unpossible to use assets with an assetprovider or imaging functions.

Regarding ordering, it might be a good idea to give the user a possibility to change the ordering in the xl export. You could show a dialog with a standard ordering (or the last used ordering) before exporting the file- Just a thought...

I created an update on version 1.2 you have the order of fields in the form.

I have the same challenge raised by the 2nd point above.
I've logged it separately here: https://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/FORMDB-18 to be more easily trackable.
