so i got to open a new one.

"Please see this FAQ for a later version of the Loader code.
I've never tried putting this in a modal window but this FAQ may help."
http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/70-cfv5/5256-how-do-i-show-a-loading-image-when-the-form-submits-in-cfv5.html

Is this FAQ up to date i can not make it work into a very-very simple test form?
Also what is the Pure Code to Yes that i have to set in the Custom Code?

I uploaded the form if anyone needs to check it.

Hello Gatsman,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How do I show a 'loading' message when the form submits?
How do I show a 'loading' image when the form submits in CFv5?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Got the Pure Code to Yes
I was adding the Custom Code in the Setup tab.
But still the loading message will not show.

Hi Gatsman,

I've got lost here? Is the image not showing in a 'standard' form view? Or is this a modal window problem (it shouldn't make much difference provided that the modal window is loading the form JS.

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look (there's no attachment to your post).

Good morning Bob,
I was talking about your post suggesting to follow the tutorial
How do I show a 'loading' image when the form submits in CFv5?
http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/70-cfv5/5256-how-do-i-show-a-loading-image-when-the-form-submits-in-cfv5.html
Nothing to do with modal or anything else, I find the loading message as a very nice effect for the users so I tend to use it on almost every form I create.

I did a simple form to test this on my localhost.
I backed up the form made a zip and tried to upload it back it was blocked.

My form setup is:
Designer:
1 Textbox
1 File Field
1 Submit
1 Custom (with pure Code to Yes as the FAQ says and the code from the tutorial)

Setup
On Load
Load Javascript (with the code from the tutorial)
Render Form (added the data-gvalidate_success='showLoader')

On Submit
Debuger

But it won’t work no matter what. (with Joomla default template).

Hi Gatsman,

The settings all look OK, please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

PS You should be able to upload .cfbak or zip files here but you do need to upload the file before you submit the post.

Hi Bob,
Sorry for the late reply.
I got the form on localhost but this time i will upload it before submiting my post.

Hi Gatsman,

The problem I think is that the loader code is triggered off a successful validation event - and if there is no validation in the form that never happens.

If you have forms with no validation then you could change the JavaScript to run when the Submit button is clicked; or you can trick it by adding a form input element that is required, with a value pre-set and Initial display set to Parent Hidden. Then that input will be validated successfully and trigger the loading code.

Thanks Bob i will try it in the next days.
