Hello all,
running PHPRunner 5.0 (though can upgrade if necessary), MYSQL
I have a large form with several fields need formated data. I would like to store these in a Medium Text field rather than creating seperate linked tables (it would add/edit much neater and there is no need to search these or report seperately). An example would be listing someones marital history, with data such as Name, Date Relationship Started, Date Relationship Ended, etc. Does anyone know of a good way to manage this?

Mike,
you can set up field as Text area on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab and choose RTE option for this field.

Then add or edit formatted text as you want.

Is there a way to load a template file in with the RTE option? I thought about this but would like to preload a table with headers in the RTE so that the proper format is always used.
Thanks.

Mike,
I'm not sure that I understand your question.

What template do you want to load? Please clarify.

I would load a template RTE file with a predefined table with headers to properly format the data. Might be asking alot.
I am probably just going to create sub-tables with multiple views.
Thanks Jane.

Hi,
unfortunately it's impossible to load template with data from database in the RTE field.
