Hi

Just upgrade Joomla you 3.6.0 and I now cannot access the chronoforms admin area in the site backend.

Any ideas?

Paul

Hi brocars,
I can't say for V4.0.6 but V5.0 works fine with Joomla 3.6.0.
I would consider upgrading to V5.0 (might want to check your forms on a test site first)

Hi Paul,

Please check this thread.

Bob

perfect, thanks

Paul

Hi Bob

The form is now working fine apart from the date picker which is not popping up the box to choose the date from.

Any further help would be appreciated

Paul

Hi Paul,

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look. The datepicker appears to be OK on my test site with Joomla! 3.6.

Bob

Hi Bob

Thanks, link is http://www.west5web-demo.co.uk/staff-portal/record-of-absence-form.html

The code I used is:

<input name="date-from" type="text" class="cf_date_picker" id="date-from" style="border: 1px solid #577086; background: #ffffff; padding:5px;" title="" value="" size="16" maxlength="150" />

Hi Paul,

It looks as if I need a login to access the form.

Bob

sorry Bob, you should now be able to see the form

Paul

Hi Paul,

It is there but hidden behind the form display. If you add CSS like this it should show up OK

.datepicker_dashboard {
    z-index: 1000;
}

Bob

thanks.

Which file would you advise adding this code to?

I added to components/com_chronoforms/css/datepicker/datepicker_dashboard.css but still can't see the date picker showing up

Paul

Hi Paul,

I'd just use the Load CSS action in the form - but editing the file should work too. The CSS file in use on the page is components/com_chronoforms/js/datepicker_moo/datepicker_dashboard/datepicker_dashboard.css

Bob

great, all fine now.

Thanks Bob

I have renamed the folder, but I can reach the component in the backend anyway

Hi mariaclara,

I assume that you mean you can't reach the component in the back-end? What happens exactly? Are you using CFv4 or v5?

Bob

Hi Bob,

I am using CFv4. I copied the folders 3.5 and renamed in 3.6, but in the backend I get a white page, the frontpage is OK.

Hi mariaclara,

Please set your site error reporting temporarily to Maximum and see if you then see a more useful error message on the blank page.

Bob

Thank you, Everything works.
I deposited the file in the wrong place.

Hi Bob

Is there / will there be a new version of chronoforms V4 compatible with Joomla 3.6?

cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

As far as I know it is compatible apart from the missing version folder. Have you seen some other problems?

I may be able to update this but I'm not sure quite how Max manages the versions and downloads. When I have some time I'll see if I can work it out and add a new version.

Bob

Hi Bob

No additional problems when the missing folder is added.

I just seem to recall reading somewhere about new versions being released shortly after Joomla updates.

Thanks, Paul
