DB Save - No tables selected

U Can Drive 26 Nov, 2015
Love the potential for this app but I'm already having problems.

I'm using a test form to figure out how to use this thing, I have set up a simple form just asking for a Name.
Upon submit I've added a "DB Save" function. I've set up a table using the "Create Table" button.

The problem:
I fill out the form click submit.
Go back to Chronoforms and click the down arrow under the "Connected Tables".
Select the table which I created and saved to.

There is an error message that says "No tables selected"

Please, what did I miss?

I've added a selection of image grabs in a single file which I hope helps.

Hi U Can Drive,

The images didn't make it - you need to click Upload before Submit in this forum,

Have you added the table in the DB Save action settings? And enabled the DB Save at the same time?

The Connected tables drop-down will only show you the tables that are linked into a DB Save or DB Read action.

Yeah, I noticed the "upload" button just after hitting "Submit", lol

I believe I have done what you suggested there, the images should confirm that.

Hi U Can Drive,

I don't think you can have a MySQL table name that starts with # - if you have, please rename it in PHPMyAdmin to say cf_test_form

That was it, the # was in db's auto created name, I thought it was a necessary part.

Thank you

Hi U Can Drive,

Ah now I understand - Joomla! uses #_ as a 'stand in' for the database prefix. That way you can write code that will run on any Joomla! site even though the prefix may be different. That is ag7_cf_test_form and pq3_cf_test_form will both work if the code refers to them as #__cf_test_form (notice the double _ there).
