Can't create form with newly installed version

Postby ve6sar on Wed Nov 21, 2007 6:25 am

I've just installed Chronoforms for the first itme and went to work through the tutorial but I ran into a few problems.
1. No configuration option in Components>Chrono Forms
2. When I click the "new" icon in the form manager I get a Internet explorer can't display this page error.

I'm running Joomla 1.5 on a Unbuntu LAMP server and the Chrono Form version is 2.5 J1.5 RC1

Hi Sean,

1) Yes, apologies the tutorials haven't kept up with Max's new versions. It's on my to-do list.

2) Not sure about the IE error, I haven't seen that one before. Please can you post the exact error text. Do you have another browser (FF, Flock, Safari, Opera, etc) installed to test in that too?

I just installed Firefox for testing and it comes up with a blank page. I looked at the page source and their was nothing there. Here's the IE Error

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

I'll see you you have an old version and try that.

Hi Sean,

What's the link that is shown in the ChronoForms Form manager - the one you click to get to the blank page? Usually this works when nothing else does! I'm wondering if the paths on your site are configured properly.

Hi Bob,
Here's the link it should be going to
http://uhl.no-ip.org:6504/joomla/admini ... t&act=all#

But this is where it ends up

http://uhl.no-ip.org:6504/joomla/admini ... index2.php

I'm also running Joomla in Legacy mode to get anoth component running if that makes a difference.

Hi. I have installed the chronoforms v2.3.6 and am using joomla1.0.3 stable version. I have created a simple form in dreamweaver and pasted it inside html. but when i press the send button, following error message appears. Please help.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla1013\modules\mod_s5_quick_contact.php on line 46

Hi sean,

I think that 'administrator' in the link is the problem. I'm guessing that Joomla redirects any site url with administrator in it to the default admin interface.

You wouldn't normally have a ChronoForms form in the backend.

Hi themajiks,

That looks like an error report from another mod 'quick contact' not from ChronoForms. And I'd guess that as you are running on Xampp you don't have a mail server installed. Follow the Xammp docs if you need one.

I tried disabling Legacy mode, no effect I uninstalled and reinstalled with legacy mode disabled still nothing.... What is the url suffix that the browser should be going to when creating a new form?

Hi Sean,

The URL should be ending with : administrator/index2.php

but this is a submitted form so don't care much about this URL as it will show nothing, did u try to install ChronoForms for J1.5 on a Joomla 1.5 with no legacy mode enabled ?

Cheers

Just installed V2.3.6 for J1.0.13

The install appears ok and the result says Success.

Issue is that there is no configuration tab in the menu

Components > Chrono Forms > Forms Management is there but
Components > Chrono Forms > Configuration isn't

Have uninstalled and re installed, also tried on another server and no different.

Any ideas what's happening?

Hi yreg,

Thats fine with the latest few versions, the config page has been removed and all options there are now at each form page!

Cheers

Yes I did, I just tried installing Chronoforms for J1.0 to see if it would work since I need legacy mode for Fireboard to run and It came up with the following errors

JInstaller::install: There is already a folder called '/var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/' - Please initially check whether:
• the extension is already installed
• the file names in the XML file are spelled correctly
• there are no xml files listed inside the extension.xml file
• all of the files (not including xml files) are correctly listed in the extension.xml file and there are no duplicate entries
• there is an empty folder listed from a previous installation attempt

Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.

The directory it memtions doesn't exist I'm thinking there a registary file some where in joomla that I need to fix but so far I haven't found it.
