Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #general-{N}

Do not load edit form.

Syntax error, unrecognized expression: # general- {N}

It does not work to create new forms.
The error is similar.

Hi bugsmafia,

Where exactly are you seeing this? If it is in the Forms Manager then there may be a JavaScript conflict with something else on the site.

backend\administrator edit
/administrator/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&act=edit&id=1

I disable all plug-ins.
The problem persists.

Hi bugsmafia,

By all means PM me the site URL, the form name, and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Hi. I see this issue is still open. I recently upgrade a site from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.5 and reinstalled the Cronoforms5 extension. I receive the same error as bugsmafia. From Joomla 3.* I know they gave up at Mootools and replaced it with jQuery. Cegcore library also makes use of jQuery so now, jQuery is loaded twice and as I know this situation usually causes problems.

Hi pictoru,

I see this message too but it doesn't appear to cause any problems.

If you want to tidy up jQuery then I recommend that you install the jQueryEasy extension - that works well for me.

Bob

I experienced the same problem after an update to J3.5.

The Frontend part works as far as I can tell.
But in the backend the above described behavior wont allow to edit or create new forms.

Hi Jackprince,

Please see this FAQ

Bob

Thanks, worked like a charm, the template doesn't seem to be finished a 100%. But It works fine enough.

Hi, I'm having the same error. I have updated Joomla! to 3.5.0 just yesterday, updated chronoforms from 5.0.9 to 5.1.0, and my php version is 5.4.45. I have applied the fixes I have found in the FAQs page but the erroor persists. any help is very welcome.

Hi albian,

I think that the error is harmless - it appears to be fixed in the latest CFv5.0.11 if you upgrade to that version.

Bob

Update: I could address the problem. It's with chronoforms5 and the isis template in joomla! 5.1.0 .in the isis's index.php in line 23

$doc->addScriptVersion($this->baseurl . '/templates/' . $this->template . '/js/template.js');

replace the route:

$doc->addScriptVersion($this->baseurl . '/templates/hathor/js/template.js');

this calls another jquery version for the isis template to use.

note, this still has to do with chronoforms. I would appreciate a lot a better solution than this, which I have done in order to be able to continue working in creatinng the forms the website I'm in needs.

thanks in advance.

Hi albian,

I had assumed that your problem was the "Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #general-{N}"

If it with the template I suggest that you try using the Isis3 template linked to from the FAQ I mentioned earlier.

Bob

Thanks a lot! I will apply these solutions.

thank you! I applied the two solutions and it worked like a charm!
