We are thrilled to tell you that we have begun the Beta one public testing phase of the new ChronoForms7, you are invited to join by downloading the beta1 installer from the link below!
Make sure to UNINSTALL beta1 before installing beta5, if you have beta2, beta3 or beta4 then you may download a form backup and restore it on the new install, OR you may uninstall the ChronoG4 plugin only at the Extensions Manager then install the new package, but few changes have been made, any Data action should be reconfigured, global form settings and some fields events will be reset and need to be reconfigured, you may copy previous settings before the update then use them after updating.
We are pleased to announce the release of Chronoforms v6.0.18, the new release has the following changes:
Few minor fixes.
Admin interface improvments.
You can now use the {chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6} shortcode anywhere, either inside an article or another extension, the shortcode will be replaced by the form, additionally the form will be unaffected by the Joomla cache and there is no ndeed to install the Chronoforms6 content plugin.
We have updated the website to fix different issues we had with the old website including low performance.
After the update, we found that existing login passwords are not working, which was not expected, so please use the "Forgot Password" link to reset your password using your existing email address.
The update has also caused the ChronoForms validation to fail, so we rolled a dummy update for ChronoForms v7 in order to fix this issue, the update just makes the validation compatible with the new website and does not add any new features, another update is planned for the near future.
The forums area has been improved but is not yet 100% functional like the old one, so please give us sometime to fix this.
Please do not hesitate to send us any thoughts or comments.
We are pleased to announce the stable release of ChronoForms v7, many fixes and changes have been added since the first beta release!
ChronoForms7 simplifies the form creation process, minimizes the configuration options, enhances the forms interface and performance, along with many new added features which we hope that you will enjoy!
