Overriding Table Name Prefix in New Form Wizard

Hi,

The New Form Wizard in v6 appends the current site name to the table name of all new forms. We had a naming convention in v5 that we want to continue using. Is there a way to override this behavior? Why was this changed. I get forms from many developers so I would end up with all different table name prefixes for Forms.

Thanks,
Scott

Member	scott_hancock-urmc.rochester - 10/19/2012 7:48:05 AM RE:Overriding Table Name Prefix in New Form Wizard Do you know why they changed this? I understand wanting to avoid naming collisions but it seems odd to use the site name and to force it on the users. Scott


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 10/22/2012 3:22:51 AM RE:Overriding Table Name Prefix in New Form Wizard Hi, The reason is to make the forms available to be used on other sites wihtin the same installation. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Overriding Table Name Prefix in New Form Wizard

That makes sense. I've found a workaround for us. You can override the default prefix with your own by doing the following:

In the file:
~\CMSModules\Bizforms\Tools\BizForm_New.aspx.cs

Change line 25 from:
private string mFormTablePrefix = null;

To:
private string mFormTablePrefix = "<Your Prefix>";

Thanks,
Scott
