    Hello Michael,

    we are professional Filemaker developer.

    Is it possible to customize the plugin?
    We need to have that every form-input is written in only one record with several, specified fields for every form-field.

    In our old website this fields where named from 1 to 20 (typo3).
    We need this kind of behaviour, because we want to integrate this data from the website to our own workflow-database on FileMaker Pro.

    Thanks for your answer

    What might work best for you is to create a DB View, then have your other software read from the view instead of the actual table (assuming you don’t want to update the data from that software).

    In the plugin’s Options page, you can turn on an option to display the query it uses to get data for a form. This query will appear at the bottom of the admin page showing the form data. Try taking that SQL and make it into a “CREATE VIEW” statement.

    I haven’t tried this myself.

    Hello Michael,
    thanks for the fast answer!

    I didn find the SQL for the query.
    Do you have any hint for me?
    I am sorry to be no SQL-specialist.

    Anyway are we happy to use your great plugin and your support.

    Best regards

    Let me be more specific.

    – http://[YOUR-SITE]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CF7DBPluginSettings
    – Set Show the query used to display results to true
    – Save Changes button
    – http://[YOUR-SITE]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CF7DBPluginSubmissions
    – Choose a form
    – There should appear a Query section at the bottom of the page.
