HEADER

I love the simplicity of chrono, much nicer than another form I was trying to use. And, it appears that you provide great support (unlike that other form).

I've read through all of the similar issues, and it seems to usually be that the plugin isn't enabled or a problem with the template. That is not the case here. I've installed the component and plugin. I've enabled the plug-in. The form successfully displays as a component page. I've also successfully displayed other plugins on the page.

This is what I have in my content:
{chronocontact}correspondence-course{/chronocontact}

And that is what displays on the page. I've done everything but delete & reinstall., but that is next.

Here's the page with the plug-in:

http://www.grantstreetcoc.org/correspondence-course

and here it is as a component page:
http://www.grantstreetcoc.org/chrono-component


Any suggestions?

Hi johnkjennings,

Try putting a space before and after the mambot entry
<p> {chronocontact}correspondence-course{/chronocontact} </p>

Joomla seems unable to find mambot code that's right next to otehr text.

You don't need the <p> tags actually as nothing is displayed.

Thanks, I should have told you that I had already tried that as well. I had to change to the plain-text editor to do it, all the wysiwyg editors were sticking the paragraph tags in. But I did it, and the problem still exists. You can see if you look at it now.

Hi johnkjennings,

Bizarre, I have no explanation to offer.

If you like, do email me an admin logon and I'll poke around and see if I can spot anything that might be causing it.

Bob

what's your e-mail? is it info (at) greyhead.net?

yes it is!

I have exactly the same problem as John. I noticed his site is working now. Can you tell me what you did?
Thanks for your help

welcome to the club, same issue here... Would be great if somebody has a solution to it...

Hi all, I'm not sure what was his problem exactly but, which Joomla version do you have ? which chronoforms file installed ? which plugin/mambot file is installed too ?

Cheers,

Max

Hey Max:

Thanks for jumping in, issue with me is as follows:

Joomla 1.0.15
Component Version 2.3.8.1
mambot Version 0.6

I did a little bit more testing on my issue. The form shows perfect in the content item as long as it is published to the front page. It works as well perfect f you call it with the standard URL from the Form Manager.

However as soon as you call it via a menu item (within a section or directly linked to as Content Item link) the form stalls and all I get is a blank page.

That's all the source can show:

Code: Select all

<form name="ChronoContact_Search" id="ChronoContact_Search" method="post" action="https://book.genares.net/planSearchResults" onSubmit="return ValidateForm();">
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
         <tr>
            <td>

I thought maybe it had something to do with the Search Engine Friendly URL's so, I disabled everything and went back to the standard, but still the same.

Same issue with breaking when trying to create the form is when I use the mod_content Module to show my form in a Module position.

But as said, for whatever reason if I link directly to the URL from the Form Manager or publish the content item to the Frontpage it works like a charm.

Strange....

Hi Max. I am running Joomla 1.5 with ChronoForms_Bot_V_0.6 and ChronoForms_V2.5_J1.5_RC2.1
It works fine when linked directly as a component but doesn't do anything when I try and add it to an article.
using {chronocontacttest_form{/chronocontact} I have tried it like that and leaving spaces but it just prints the code.
Help!!

Wow, at least I know I'm not in it alone.

We did not get it to work. I even gave Bob an admin password to see if he could figure it out - no dice.

I ended up with two potential workarounds. One was to split it to two pages, the content on one, with a link to the component on the other. The second was to include all the necessary html inside the form tag in the custom html section. Either will work. The latter would not allow a novice content contributor to maintain the content, however. That's something I needed, so I'm staying with them split into two pages.


I'm on the latest version of your component & plug-in. Here's my system info:

PHP Built on: Linux
Database Version: 4.0.27-max-log
PHP Version: 4.3.11
Web Server: Apache
Web Server to PHP interface: cgi-fcgi
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.0 Production/Stable [ Khepri ] 21-January-2008 23:55 GMT

Well that's shame. I really like it but this kind of makes it worthless. Can you recommend any other types of form plugins?

Honestly I think I tried all of the other From components, and I got either none to work decently (without having to code a huge amount of stuff, or it could not do what I wanted to do. Even spend some money on RSForm (which is absolute crap and a huge scam to get money). The only form component which made it easy to get the form I want done and works (except this isue) is actually chronoforms...
