HEADER

Hi Bob,
Thank you for getting back to me. My site is going live on May 31 and I really want this form to work so that the kids can register for summer soccer games.
What I did was:
• Created the form
• Pasted the form code into the html code section
• Created the link for it by going to menu->component link and display it on my home page using a module.
• Completed the form, clicked submit button but nothing happens – no data submitted no feedback.
I suspect I need javascript function for submitting and validation?

Thanks
John

Hi John,

You don't need any JavaScript for submitting (and probably not for validation).

In the ChronoForms Forms Manager, open the form and turn DeBug to ON in the General Tab (and remove any ReDirect URL temporarily).

Save the form, then click on the Link for the form to display it in a new window. Put some data in and Submit the form. You should then get a screen-ful of debug info. Please copy and post that here for starters.

Bob

I can see something get recorded when I checked on the Saved Dataview. I have attached the screen shot. Even though I completed the form, the data is not recorded properly - no names of people registered show up.

sorry the image was too large to upload so here it is now.

only uploaded the output.
thanks

Hi John,

Thanks for that. There are two - probably separate - things going on here. First off nearly all your fields are named 'text'; what web forms do is to create a results slot for that name and write the results into it, when they find a second field with the same name the results from the first one are over-written. So all that's being returned in the $_POST array is the value of the last, empty text field. (Also 'text' is a not a good field name as it has other meanings in html.)

You need to rename your fields with either (a) different names text_1, text_2, . . .is fine, or (b) use an array name like text_resulti John,

You need to rename your fields with either (a) different names text_1, text_2, . . .is fine, or (b) use an array name like text_result[], you can put this in all your fields and the web browser will add each result to the array instead of over-writing. This would probably be good for your roster fields.

Second, there's a problem with the email being sent. ChronoForms is sending it to Joomla and something is going wrong after that - hence the 'Email not sent' message. Please check the FAQs here and look for the one about emails not being sent as there are several possible causes.

Hi Bob,
I can't thank you enough for your help. I made the changes to name = text to name =text_1, 2 etc. Is this what you recommending me to change right? For example, see below but it didn't make any difference. please see the debug output at the bottom. By the way I didn't make changes the email yet though.

Code:

<legend><strong>Roster</strong></legend> <p><label1 for="name">1</label1><input name="text_4" type="text" size="40"> <p><label1 for="name">2</label1><input name="text_5" type="text" size="40"> <p><label1 for="name">3</label1><input name="text_6" type="text" size="40"> <p><label1 for="name">4</label1><input name="text_7" type="text" size="40"> <p><label1 for="name">5</label1><input name="text_8" type="text" size="40"> </p><br/>
