Hello...

I am hoping The RS Community can help me with a slight problem I am having:

On our site we use RS Forms to collect data about our users... Each time a user fills out an rsform on the site it back-fills / maps the fields info to their JomSocial profile fields so we have their complete information.

Currently we just replace the information in their JomSocial profile fields each time they fill out a form... This is fine... It keeps their information current....

EXCEPT WE HAVE ONE SMALL PROBLEM:

We would like to be able to have an additional hidden field that we just append information to... NOT REPLACE!

For Example... I will add a JomSocial field that is just for internal use... It will be used to track SKU / Source numbers from our users....

When a user fills out a form there will be a hidden field that populate with a SKU / Source number in the URL (I do this with a script in the default value field)
//<code>
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->get('id');
if ($user_id != 0)
{
$user_id = intval($user_id);
 
$rez = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT value FROM jos_community_fields_values WHERE user_id=".$user_id." AND field_id=23"),0);
return $rez;
}
//</code>

HERE IS THE PART I NEED HELP WITH...

That SKU / Source field must APPEND the JomSocial field... Not replace it each time!

So say a user fills out forms # 1 through 3 with corrisponding source numbers 1, 2, 3

The JomSocial Field would show a record of that like 1,2,3

And any additional forms they fill out would just add to the list.... So if the same user filled out form #20 a month later the JomSocial field would read:

1,2,3,20


Basically I need a SELECT query in order to get the values that were previously submitted.

After this, I need to generate the new values that I wish to add in the tables and with an UPDATE query, add the values to the tables.

I would like to use this in the "Scripts called after form process" section?!?!
