Custom PHP On SP PageBuilder Form Submit
interstorm
First off, thank you for such a wonderful framework and tool -- I love Helix and SP Pagebuilder!
I'm hoping you can help me solve something -- I have a form that needs to write to a database other than the default MySQL one used by the site (my client prefers a MySQL database to power the site but then a separate, often MSSQL database instance, to store a lot of the data and be used for integration with other applications). How could I best achieve that with SP PageBuilder's form builder -- writing to an external database? For reference, JoomlaShine's Uniform extension could do this well with custom PHP execution after the form was submitted. I'm hoping SP Pagebuilder can do the same since your extensions appear more capable that JoomlaShine's!
I appreciate your thoughts!
