Hi San,

Please will you upgrade to the latest version v2.2.1 as Max has fixed some earlier problems with the array support in this version.

Hopefully this will fix your problem but if not then I'll take a closer look.

Hi Bob,
thanks for your message..
do i need to make all forms again, if i update new version??

or how i can update new version without lossing old data??

please let me know
thanks
san

Hi san,

To upgrade, the easy way is to FTP the revised files and over-write the previous version. I've attached a little patch file that should upgrade your installation from v2.0 to v2.2.1

Note 1 for other readers, this is not a full install package, it should be OK to upgrade from either v2.0 or v2.1.4 but take care and back up first!!!!

Note 2 if you store form results to the database there are some changes in v2.0. Back up all your form tables before doing the upgrade. I think that you may need to use PHPMyAdmin to add an extra field to the tables. Proceed with great care and check each step.

PS Sorry, buggy zip file - trying again<br><br>Post edited by: GreyHead, at: 2007/07/08 17:33

Here's the revised patch file. Bob [file name=chronoforms_2-de0055cd32a70da90933d5da4222fec5.zip size=36982]http://www.chronoengine.com/components/com_fireboard/uploaded/files/chronoforms_2-de0055cd32a70da90933d5da4222fec5.zip[/file]

Hi San, Bob,

ASA I get back I will have a solution for the backup problem which became big in the last few days as much users like to upgrade!!

San, Can you wait about 10 days for the "upgrade with ease" new patch ?

If not then you can use Bob's solution OR if you just have 1 form then it wont take more than 5 minutes to copy your code and parameters from the ChronoForms admin then uninstall then reinstall and paste them in again, only 3 minutes per form if you have much configs!!

Cheers

Max

Hi San,

I'll try to re-create your form and see if I can replicate the problem.

Bob

Hi San,

Could you please make a new form and dont put any autogenerated code or onsubmit code ? just the HTML and then test when sending emails with "field names" and with "my template", what happens ?

Max

hi MAX
i have tried a new form and seen this error
----------
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class at offset 15 in
-----------------

Hi San,

This seems to be some unclosed bracket inside your HTML, plz double heck them all, I would help with this but have a very slow connection here out of town, hopefully will get back to normal soon!

Keep us updated on the status of it and double check all brackets please.

Cheers

Max

hi Max,
i have seen it.. but not found any open bracket,,

please help me out
thanks

Hi San,

I've had a go at re-creating your form and I think I have got it working. I found a couple of little bugs in the code for dealing with arrays in templates.

In chronocontact.php please find this code starting at line 152

foreach ($matches[0] as $match)
{
  $new_match = preg_replace('/name=("|\')/i', '', $match);
  $new_match2 = preg_replace('/("|\')/', '', $new_match);
  $name = preg_replace('/name=("|\')/', '', $new_match2);
  $emailbodytemplate = $rows[0]->emailtemplate;
  $pattern = '/({)'.$name.'(})/';
  if(strpos($name, '[]')){
    $name = str_replace('[]', '', $name);
  }
  if(is_array($_POST[$name])) {$_POST[$name] = implode(", ", $_POST[$name]);} else {$name_array = $_POST[$name];}
  $replace = $name_array;
  if ($i > 0) {
    $emailbodytemplate =  html_message;
  }
  $html_message = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $emailbodytemplate);
$i++;
}

and replace it with this code

foreach ($matches[0] as $match)
{
  $new_match = preg_replace('/name=("|\')/i', '', $match);
  $new_match2 = preg_replace('/("|\')/', '', $new_match);
  $name = preg_replace('/name=("|\')/', '', $new_match2);
  $emailbodytemplate = $rows[0]->emailtemplate;
  if(strpos($name, '[]')){
    $name = str_replace('[]', '', $name);
  }
  $pattern = "/\\{".$name."\\}/";
  if(is_array($_POST[$name])) {$name_array = implode(", ", $_POST[$name]);} else {$name_array = $_POST[$name];}
  if ($i > 0) {
    $emailbodytemplate = $html_message;
  }
  $html_message = preg_replace($pattern, $name_array, $emailbodytemplate);
  $i++;
}

I've changed a couple of variable names left over from the previous version and the preg_match pattern.

Please will you try this and see if it works for you. Thanks.

Bob

PS This is for v2.2.1 and you should not need the 'implode' code in OnSubmit or AutoGenerate. (If you do then we need to tweak the code some more.)<br><br>Post edited by: GreyHead, at: 2007/07/12 15:31

hi Bob & MAX

YOU DONE IT.. GREAT.. THANKS A LOT :laugh: :laugh:

ONLY ONE THINK LEFT ??

i want to disply customized message on redirect page..

when email sent, record in database.. form redirect on a other page.. i want to display a customized message on that page..

---------
like " Thanks "user name" ... we will revert back on your email "user email" ...
---------

please fix this problem also.. i will be really very think full..

till now you have done great job..

thanks in advance

Try using the Form Code : 'On Submit code - after sending email' field and put in something like

Thanks <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?> ... we will revert back on your email <?php echo $_POST['email']; ?>
