Hi I am new to GS CMS, can anyone tell me if we have a way of inputting user data fields, saving them to a database(mysql) and allowing user to view/edit/delete the data?

thanks

no

GS does not work with Databases, you can use and work with XML

What is the answer then? I think it's interesting.
You can check out dmmatrix plugin. But you would have to code the user input part

Yes I was afraid of that..
What would you be using it for and how would it be retrieved?

I've thought about this too. It would be cool to have a database-like functionality for storing whatever you wanted in a sudo xml-database.

But then I hit the wall and cannot decide how best to approach the retrieval of the information (in the sense that a plugin like this seems to be a fix to a problem that doesn't yet exist). I think of things like storing item information or page data, but there are already plugins that do these things well.
