Hi everyone,
I have couple of question regarding Chronoform, it is such a fantastic product and I know it does these things but not sure how to enable it.
My client needs simple contact form but:
1. This form needs to have an email field with "confirm your email form".
2. Needs to send an email to the visitor once they have filled the form to confirm their emails.
3. Do not send anything to my client, instead record the submission in a database table so every week my client
can download them and take action.
Are these possible? the 3rd one is the major concern of mine.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Hi mehdi.b,
Yes you can do all of those. If you are on Joomla! 3.3. and this is a new application I suggest you use CFv5 rather than CFv4.
1. There is a Confirm option in the Validation settings
2. You can do that using the Dynamic Email settings
3. You can add a DB Save action and use a separate 'admin only' from to download the required records as a CSV file (or you can add them directly to a Google SpreadSheet if your client uses Google Apps).

You are the best. After a toughweek this Friday this solved some of my issues. Thanks a lot mate.
Oh one more question which another newbie like me could have, do I need special Databases or other stuff installed for me to be able to save this as a data base or Joomla takes care of that and I only need the commands on the Chronoform?
Hi mehdi.b,
You need to create a table - usually in the Joomla! database - to save your data, and then link the DB Save action to it. Please check this video.

Hi Bob,
I did all the above and I have the table, the form and everything.
There is only one small issue not fixed yet, I was hoping you could help me.
form page is this: www.unimed.co.nz/emailsignup
I have set the email verification both sender and response. It sends the verification email but
the link takes me to the form page without the form and does not send the verification code with the email but adds it to the end of the URL that it sends.
The verification link path is: http://www.unimed.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=37&event=verify
I also have Verification response on a separate event.
Please help me with this issue
Cheers
Mehdi
