hi, we're now trying to get forms working, so issue seems to be:

does this cms store textfiled value in database?

e.g. there is a field say email I have entered an email then when I submit the form where should that email value (text) go?

Hi,

Yes, this CMS stores every bit of data saved into its editable regions in the database.

The database scheme used by it, though, is EAV (Entity Attribute Value) so you won't find a table (or even a column) named 'email', for example, where you can find the value contained within an editable region named 'email'. Everything goes in two fixed tables - 'couch_data_text' and 'couch_data_numeric'.

That said, it should be only rarely that you'd require to go looking for the data yourself from within the tables - the cms:pages tag does this job for you abstracting away all the complexities.

Can you please let us know (in detail) what exactly you are trying to achieve?
Perhaps we can find a solution that won't need querying the database directly.

Thanks.

thank you for the information
