Chronforms V6 $form->data

Just taken my first look at CF6 & CC6. Impressive but different to CF5/CC5 but looks like CF6 & CC6 are much more alike. It will take me a while. 😲

Two quick questions
[list=]Do I need to pay these to validate? OK if I do - just need to know.[/list]
[list=]In CF6 what is the equivalent of $form->data? Something in $this - but what 😶[/list]

I suspect from a quick look at the forum that $form->data approach in pho code is either obsolete or not necessary.

Thanks

Thanks Max - manual in your spare time???🙄😀. I look forward to it - in the meantime I think the demos will give me a kick start wit that piece of information.

Hi

thanks for the tip, this helped me a lot as well.

{data:fieldname} or {var:fieldname} seems to return an error message if used as a variable inside a custom php code block:

$result={data:input};

using it inside a double quoted string however, seems to work fine:

print("you typed: {data:input_number}");

So I guess the php code is executed first, and the {data:...} blocks are filled in afterwards. The following statement will display the content of the 'input_number' form field:

print(":{data:"."input_number}");

Also, returning data out of a custom php code block seems to be not working. instead of:

return $result;

and using it as {var:result} or {data:myVar} later on in a confirmation email, I had to set it as

$this->data['result']

in my custom php code in order to use it.

Great stuff Max - well on the way.

Thanks

Some questions now pop up no doubt. I can't find an example for including CSS. I have found where to define some CSS and have included this

form#history-list{
background-color:aqua !important;
font-size:10px !important;
width:90% !important;
}

and named it

historyCSS

Three questions
[list=]How do i reference that on pages/events?[/list]
[list=]How can I include reference to a CSS file or files? Using the CSS @import?[/list]
[list=]Can one use a php require command to include css files - similar to CF5??[/list]

Hi Nick,

This is a Chronoforms or Connectivity question ? in Connectivity you need to call the view or function, but in Chronoforms its enough to place the code in a custom CSS element.

You can include a CSS file using a Custom HTML element, you may also require a CSS file that way since the HTML element supports PHP.

@stijnst, please check this FAQ:

Best regards,

Hi Max

Sorry - it was Connectivity related. Thanks for that info - and those FAQs.
Making more progress.
