Please replace the ??? with your data!
- Your URL:www.vtselect.org
- The browser used: Firefox
- cforms version: 8.4.2
- Your Wordpress version: 2.5.1

Hello,
I gather user information via cForms on my web site. The form has a hidden field, "Approved". I would like to create an easy way to go through the users and update which are 'Approved'.
I imagine dynamically creating a form that looks like a table, with the user's name and a checkbox, one row per user. Upon submitting the form, I would update the db with the relevant changes.
Is this possible? Is there a better approach?
(Of course, I can update the db via phpMyAdmin, but I don't want to give other manager's access to my hosting account...)
Thanks for any suggestions.

If you track your form submissions, and go to the tracking page, you can view all user submission details (& hidden fields). You can also change any of the data, e.g. set the 'approved' field to 'yes' etc.

Thanks, that's very handy, but I am trying to find a way to allow someone other than a site admin to make changes.
Two related notes:
-- Is there a way to allow a non-admin user to download the cformsdata?
-- There is a problem with the XML format; it is not well-formed.
Thanks for the reply.

cforms supports the RoleManager plugin. So you could setup a user who can only access the cforms tracking page (nothing else), of course that users sees all forms that are tracked.
-- There is a problem with the XML format; it is not well-formed.
I've just followed an example, but I'm happy to consider alternatives.

The Roles facility is great. I copied the Author role to 'Coach', added 'Track cForms' to the new role, and created a user with role 'Coach'.
Unfortunately, when I log in as my new user, Manage->cForms II->Tracking is available, but none of the data is displayed.
What am I dioing wrong?
Thanks for the help...

The actual (form) data is not being displayed and the page as such is?
Or do you get a white screen with nothing on it?

The page is displayed, with the Form Submissions control with the "View Records", "Delete Records" and "Download Records" butttons, but no data is displayed.

I think it is as simple as putting all the <entry> elements in another element. According to XMLSpy, this is well-formed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<entries>
<entry form="Player Information" date="2008-05-07 08:55:34">
<data><![CDATA[Xippy]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[xippy@gmail.com]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[555-555-5555]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[11/20/1889]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[Male]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[]]></data>
</entry>
<entry form="Player Information" date="2008-05-07 08:51:07">
<data><![CDATA[Sparky]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[sparky@gmail.com]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[555-555-5555]]></data>
<data><![CDATA[11/20/1989]]></data>

Ok, I think I know what's wrong. I'll send you an update via email.

Thanks for that, I'll compare and have closer look asap.
