Display form information on front end?

    Okay, I am desperate for some guidance here. I had gone and sought some help with all of this and have gotten to the point of having a form created that businesses can use to fill out their information on the site and the viewer in the admin. In order to get it to display results on a page, there were some custom scripts to create the business pages and their request for info forms written. When the scripts are inserted, the php works, but cannot seem to get the mysql to work.

    Basically, I am needing to select all of the business and display them by name from the data collected by gravity forms and then link to a page with all of the details. From there I created a new database to store all of the users request so that they can view them on their requests page.

    Is there some guidance someone can give me on this? Again, I am working with someone who is much more skilled with coding than I am, but we are now stuck, and could use some direction. Thank you so much for any help you can give me!! I really appreciate it. I'm in some desperation with this here!

  2. If you want to display data from Gravity Forms there are currently three ways to do this.

    1) Use Gravity Forms to create Posts out of the submitted data. Then display these Posts on your site. You do this using the Post Fields in Gravity Forms and configuring it the way you want it.

    2) Use the 3rd party Gravity Forms Directory Add-On that is available in the WordPress.org repository. This allows you to display Gravity Forms entries on the frontend of your site. We did not create this Add-On, it was created by a 3rd party and we do not support it.

    3) Write your own custom code to query the data and display it on the frontend. This is the most advanced of the 3 options and requires custom development.

    We do plan on providing ways of displaying data on the frontend as one of our goals for 2011 via an Add-On we plan on creating.

    Okay, yes. This is what I have been trying to do however I cannot get the program to access the database. The connection is essentially just entering in the user, pass, and hostname so I am at a loss as to why it will not connect. Any ideas what this could be??

  4. You will need to contact your web host for proper settings to connect to your database. I don't know that information.
