Hi!
I'm quite new to the world of getsimple CMS. What I need to do is to create a tiny, 3 max pages website. In one of them there should be a form with following fields:
- name,
- surname,
- email,
- contest answer
- data processing checkbox
how can I create it? One thing is important - i need a possibility of exporing all inputs to an excel file (xls would be great). Any ideas?
thanks!
are you a programmer, do you know php ?
We do not really have any great form plugins, but there are some in progress.
exporting to csv would be fairly easy for someone to write for you.
and excel can typically import xml also, so not a huge deal.

I built a Facebook scraping tool a while back. Nothing special, except I exported the data in Excel XML (SpreadsheetML). It worked really well, you can find more info here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library...e.11).aspx. You do need a local XML schema file so that Excel can properly parse it; for an example of how all of this should work: see below the JS I used to convert data to Excel XML, and in attachment the XML scheme.
Code:
var options = {
appName: 'FB Wall Scraper',
docTitle: fbTimelineScraper._pageOwner + ' Facebook Posts',
cols: [
{header: 'Date', width: 600},
{header: 'Text', width: 100},
{header: 'Links', width: 40},
{header: 'Likes', width: 40},
{header: 'Shares', width: 70},
{header: 'Comments', width: 90},
{header: 'Hashtags', width: 50}
]
}, wnd, data = fbTimelineScraper.get(), type,
output = '<?xml version="1.0"?>'

I'm not sure this code was the latest version, but it should give you enough of an idea of how to make it work.
