The new updates applies the following changes:

1. Fixes the table reader issue for the forms manager data links!

3. Designer layout enhancements.
4. Some fields have received new events like "empty" or "not empty" or "match regex".
5. Switch action values can now use regular expressions.
6. Blocks can be directly created and edited in the blocks manager, and they can be "referenced" in the form using the new "Stored Block" view/action, so it's possible now to use the same block in multiple forms, any updates to the block will appear in all forms directly.

Adding a contact form to your Joomla or WordPress website is a game-changer for user engagement and site functionality. Why choose a form over simply sharing your email address? A contact form, built with ChronoForms8, saves time, blocks spam, and gives your site a professional look that builds trust. It lets visitors message you without leaving your site or opening their email app.

Plus, ChronoForms8 can save and read form data to a database for easy tracking, auto-fill details for logged-in users to streamline submissions, and control access so only specific users (e.g., registered members) can use the form, enhancing security and personalization.

1. Categories -> Forums -> Topics -> Posts structure.
2. Lock/Stick topics or set forums announcements.
3. Posts reporting and topics manual activation by admins.
4. Posts attachments.
5. Global and distinct forums permissions.

Hello Everyone,

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 to the release of ChronoConnectivity v6, create and manage database data with extreme flexibility, read/update/delete data from any number of tables, one to one and one to many relations support, You can also search or sort the data to your liking, filter the data displayed, and export it easily to CSV.
