  3. Support for all CRUD operations on 1 or more tables, plus supporting basic features like pagination, search, sorting, data filtering...etc.
  4. Full users groups access permissions configuration.
  5. Tasks Control support using the Chronoforms Events-Actions system*.
  6. Auto or Custom data listing to save your time.
  7. SEO url support with the basic Joomla SEF support.
*With the Task Control feature, you can control when will any CRUD action will be executed, for example:
  • You want the user to confirm something before deleting a record.
  • Send an email when a record is updated.
Doing any type of processing before running any of the CRUD operations is possible using the Chronoforms-ChronoConnectivity combination.
Please let us know your thoughts on our forums.

Getting started

In order to create a 1st basic connection, you should:

#1- Enter connection name.
#2- Select a db table.
#3- Navigate to the "Admin list settings" tab and enter few table columns names in the "List View Fields" box.
#4- Go to the "Admin permissions" tab and set the "List Permissions" to "Super users" (or whatever group you have).

Now you can save the connection and display the table data through the "Admin list" link, for adding/editing you will need to connect a Chronoform to your connection, but your form's App should be set to "ChronoConnectivity", you can find the form App setting under the form's "Edit" page.

ChronoContact is out

Written
We have decided to release a new simple forms builder to meet all our users demands, the new extension interface is very simple and innovative, it does the main tasks of a contact script, and is using our new advanced PHP framework to achieve the best performance and stay platform independent.
 
In order to be able to run this new extension, your server should meet these requirements:
 
PHP5.3
PDO & PDO MySQL extensions enabled in PHP
 
Almost all servers today can meet these requirements, unless they are outdated.
 
Pay attention not to install this new extension with Chronoforms V3, it will overwrite the files since they are both using the same extension code name "com_chronocontact".
 
Happy forms building :)
