Hi GreyHead,

Great component, truly handy and definately a time-saver.

1. Not very handy is changing a forms code, clicking Apply, and find yourself back in another page (ie. the Forms Manager). Standard Joomla does not change page on clicking Apply anywhere. Could you give it a thought changing it, please?

2. Changing code (eg. the form code) in a web editor is, IMHO and I'am sure in that of many others, NOT ideal. Would it be an idea to be able to put in a statement in these fields like:
<!-- include file="filename" --> or,
<!-- include virtual="virtual/filename" --> ... ?

It is HTML-compliant, and allows the coder to use his/her favorite editor on the specified file (provided he/she has direct server file access, of course).

Tnx in advance ...

Hi Rene,

Glad you like the app. Just to be clear, Max is the developer and does all the coding. I just do some volunteer support here (I'm not quite sure why).

Both these are known problems. Apply works in teh Joomla 1.0.x version but not in Joomla 1.5 Max tells me that it's fixed for the next release but I haven't seen that yet.

I agree with you about form code inclusion. For anything but the simplest form I put something like:<?php require_once JPATH_BASE . DS . 'components' . DS . 'com_chronocontact' . DS . 'includes' . DS . 'my_form_name' . DS .'onsubmit_before.php'; ?>in the boxes. This lets me edit the form code using FTP which is much easier. BUT there are some downsides. This code will not be parsed by ChronoForms so you have to create some dummy fields to get the field names found. And the code will not be included in a Form Backup - maybe in a future release.

Thx for filling me in on the details, Bob ...
