Servoy Forum

We want to allow our customers to do a html form submit from their website that will place the submitted data into a fieldname/fieldvalue table that can be accessed by our Servoy solution. The html submit form must be within their own html file (not a Servoy form).

What would a Servoy method look like that can receive the data, parse it, and place it into the fieldname/fieldvalue table? We will not know the field names, nor the number of fieldname/fieldvalue pairs to be submitted in advance.

Hi Dean,

So the form is hosted on their own website?

You could use the Velocity plugin for this.

Your HTML form would be something like this:

Code: Select all

<form action="http://my.server.domain/myWebformProcessor/" method="post">
    <!-- all your fields and perhaps submit button -->
</form>


Your method would then look something like this:

Code: Select all

function vr_getContext(request) {
    if ( request.method === 'POST') { // sanity check
        // Get an array with all the parameter names (which corresponds with the field names in the web form)
        var _aParamKeys = Object.keys(request.parameters);
        for (var i = 0; i < _aParamKeys.length; i++) {
            foundset.newRecord();
            // I guess you want to add some identifying value here as well
   
            // store the key/value
            foundset.fieldName = _aParamKeys[i];
            foundset.fieldValue = request.parameters[_aParamKeys[i]];
        }
   
        // return a response (see Velocity Wiki)
    } else {
        // not a POST, handle accordingly. For example return a 403 (not allowed)
    }
}

Hope this helps

Thank you very much.
