Contact Object Load from Database  en

In Website X5 the only object available of creating an interactive form is the Contact Object which works fine for capturing and updating information in the database. It would be a simple matter of enhancing this object or cloning it with new functionality to populate the fields from the database table it populates. For example, it has been used to create a user profile of which the website user is able to update their information and preferences, however currently when the user re-enters the page all fields are set to blank. This request would see the functionality of when the user re-entered the page that the fields are set to the information in the database or blank if there is no corresponding database information.

This seems to be a simple request and probably one asked about frequently as it relates to the Contact Object and not so hard to implement by extending the generated pages HTML with a value and php scripting to retrieve the data.
