form editor not functioning

How to fix a broken ChronoForms editor interface.

Overview

The form editor loses formatting and functionality due to a PHP error caused by non-extension files in the CF directories.
Enable maximum site error reporting to identify the specific error, then locate and remove any non-essential files, such as Dreamweaver _notes folders, from the CF actions or events directories.

Hi-

I am not sure what happened, but the form editor on the admin side on a test site of mine has gone wacky. It has lost all formatting and functionality (see attached image). It probably is due to some conflict with some other extension, but I need some pointers as to where to look.

If access to the site admin would be helpful, let me know.

Thanks.

Hi kgriffin,

This can happen if there is a JavaScript or, more likely, a PHP error in the page. Please try setting Site Error Reporting to maximum temporarily,. then view the page source (it will be long) and look for a PHP Error towards the end of the ChronoForms code.

I just did this and I have the following:

Fatal error: Class '\GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforms\Events\_notes\_notes' not found in K:\wamp\www\venicedogclub\administrator\components\com_chronoforms5\chronoforms\views\edit.php on line 1462

Answer

I just deleted all the Dreamweaver _notes directories and everything works now.

Hi kgriffin,

Well found - ChronoForms could do better, it assumes that anything in the actions or events folders must be an action or an event and you get errors when it isn't.
