Output Phatform content submissions to tables

[Thomas]

I posted this RFE to phpWebsite then I found phpwsListings, and it seems quite similar, so I'm posting here as well to get feedback.

I would like to add functionality to the Phatform module, or create another module (phpwsListings?),  that takes advantage of the Phatform module so that the  contents of the form submissions can be outputted to a table list.

Currently we can list the individual submissions of a
form and we have to click on "view" to view the
contents of a form submission. It would be great if we
have the ability to list or output the contents of
Phatform created forms in a table that we can configure.

If I have the ability to list the contents of all the
submissions in a table, then I can possibly create a
directory, classifieds, guestbook, maybe even a
shopping catalog, or anything where we can use Phatform to create a form, add content to the database, and then output the contents in a table listing.

If the fields of the Phatform form could be listed
horizontally across the top of the outputted table and
the user submitted content, or content that is created
by the admin, can be listed below, then we could create a directory or anything that requires a list of content items.  Using this format, we should have the ability to sort the table by making the fields across the top of the table clickable.

If the fields of the Phatform form could be listed vertically, one on top of another, then we could create guestbooks, classifieds, or anything that has fields like a title, author, and a little blurb.

Finally, we should be able to add permissions to the forms so that we can choose who gets to view the table contents, whether they are anonymous, registered, or however restrictive we make the content.

I don't know if this is functionality that can be added to phpwsListings or if the Phatform module could be modified to be able to list the contents in a table.  Thanks for your great work.

I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for without a RL example. You can cusomize the views in phpwsListings 0.3.0 to appear as a table of data. In the settings, you can choose custom layout in the advanced settings area. There is a howto in the docs that explains how to modify the templates.
