PLEASE HELP! Saving user inputs for all users

Hi there,

I am currently working on a website that would enable users to select options from the dropdown menus itself and not having it reset if the user leaves or refreshes the browser. In other words, I would like to save the data locally, however, I would like to have all users to be able to see the inputs made by other users. The inputs made by the users include text inputs, dropdown menus, and other various features. Someone suggested that I save user inputs by presetting it form the database field. I am not familiar with this, can someone help me with the coding? I am so stuck right now. Thank you.

Hello Michael,

what you need is something like this…

In this example, a database is used for saving all the switch-button-options of each users. Imagine that each user has an switchbutton which they can toggle and save. No matter what they do, refreshing the site or leaving the site, when they come back to see the switch-button status, it will be always the last saved status, saved by the member.

I think this is exactly the behaviour you are searching for.

The whole process has a good description, just take a look.
