Hello, I trying to use dynamic dropdown (from database) to add and edit records using chronoform and use Chronoconenctivty to list the records.
1) how do I call chronoconnectivity6 from Chronoform6? I am using the redirect and hard coded the url to be http://localhost/Joomla/index.php/form1 and it works. But i am wondering if there is a better way to link the two.
2) How do i call Chronoform from Chronoconnectivity for editing the DB record?
Hi 4Summit,
#1- You can redirect to the list anyway you want, you may use {url:index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity6&conn=connection-alias}
#2- You better do everything using Connectivity, if you have installed the newest Chronoforms update then Connectivity should have all the basic Chronoforms fields under the "Views" section and you can call them inside form view.
BUT if you prefer to have a complex form built in Chronoforms6 then you can call the form section inside a Connectivity form view:
{chronoform.section:form-alias/section-name}

Thank you, Max.
is Connectivity able to support dynamic drop down from DB? i could not find it, hence i am using Chronoforms.
Hi 4Summit,
Do you have the latest Chronoforms6 updated installed ? if yes then this will enable a new "Fields" views tab in Connectivity which you can use to add a dropdown field just like the one in Chronoforms.
