# Announced ending database view

 * IN the database view an announcement is made that databse view will be disabled
   in version 14.15.
    As adviced I installed CFDB and tested this with my most complex
   form. I now have the following issues. PLease advice.
 * 1. Multiple forms are not supported in CFDB. Only individual pages can be selected.
   It’s not easy to handle a form with 10 pages this way. In the database view of
   CFormsII this was easy.
 * 2. The database view of CFormsII provides a nice vertical view. IN CFDB only 
   horizontal views are provided. This is also an issue that decreases the usability.
 * 3. I use anchors in my titles, whitch work out fine. IN the database view of 
   CForms the tekst is “processed” and easy to read. In CFDB is is absolutely not.
   
   example: Definition in CForms : Waar is uw kind zwak in, wat zijn bijkomende 
   risicofactoren bij de evt. dyslexie?<br />[(klik voor voorbeelden)](http://www.deleerwijzer.nl)
   Tekst in CForms view : Waar is uw kind zwak in, wat zijn bijkomende risicofactoren
   bij de evt. dyslexie? (Header) Tekst in CFDB : Waar is uw kind zwak in, wat zijn
   bijkomende risicofactoren bij de evt. dyscalculie?<br /><a href=”[http://www.deleerwijzer.nl](http://www.deleerwijzer.nl)
 * The step tot CFDB is in my opinion a large step backwards in user satisfaction.
   
   PLease keep the view alive untill CFDB can provide a more strcutural solution(
   or a simple way to manage the userinterface).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fannounced-ending-database-view%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I am removing the view because of general security concerns. It had a long standing
   SQL injection issue and I guess there are more issues with it. With the anchor
   being shown you actually point out something that could be a cross site scripting
   issue.
 * I am sorry, but I do not want to be responsible for such a rotten code base. 
   Actually there are many other areas in cformsII that look very ugly.
 * The next cformsII version will have to wait some time. Maybe it will happen as
   late as the WordPress 5 release.
 * And after all there is [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cforms2-old-tracking-db](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cforms2-old-tracking-db).
   
   If some PHP developer wants to take on the responsibility, he can build upon 
   it and provide the old user interface.
 * I will see what I can do about better user experience in CFDB.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. Sorry, i’m not a php specialist and therefore not
   aware of the rotten code base. Waiting for WordPress 5 is fine for me.
 * I hope the input fields are checked for cross site scripting. I asumed that what
   I am doing in the field discriptions is using standard html. If you are able 
   to provide a standard “link to info” with for instance an “info” image, that 
   would be marvelous.
 * I came across a discription to make detail pages ([https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=1389](https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=1389)).
   
   I think this can help me. Only selecting multiple forms is still an issue.
 * Do you have any idee’s?
 * Thanks.
 * Huub

 * What do you mean by multiple forms? CFDB has support for importing cformsII’s
   multi-part forms.

 * You should ask in the CFDB issue tracker.
