plugin for storing user input to a database - ddjen11 - 2012-10-25

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
DJ

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

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.
