Good Day,

My asterisks are not showing on my require fields nor is my calendar sections working - they are not loading the calendar to select a date.

When I click view from the joomla backend on Chronoforms V6 they do show however on my front end they are not showing?

Hi DrSmith69,

That sounds like there is a conflict of some kind with your template. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi Greyhead,

The link is:

This is private content

while you are there, I am trying to pull data from a column attached to my users table (It is a new column I added in my DB) so i don't think {user:name} etc works, is there a way around it?

Hi DrSmith69,

There is a JavaScript Error on the page that is blocking the asterisks and date picker - "main.js:96 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined" - it comes from this code

    if ($("body.sticky-header").length > 0) {
        var fixedSection = $('#sp-header');
        // sticky nav
        var headerHeight = fixedSection.outerHeight();
        var stickyNavTop = fixedSection.offset().top;
        fixedSection.addClass('animated');

Have you defined $user in a Custom Code action? I have no idea if the Joomla! User Method will pick up newly added columns - in general it is not best practice to add alter the core Joomla! tables.

Excellent, removed the code and its working 100% - THANK YOU!

I will continue to play around with the PHP to pull the database,

I am able to echo the database content at the bottom of the form using custom code but I cannot get it to display in the actual text fields.

I am able to echo the database content at the bottom of the form using custom code but I cannot get it to display in the actual text fields.

Just use the var syntax:
{var:read_data_name.path}

Hi Max,

Please can you assist me where I am going wrong:

The label 'HRBAK' is returning based on PHP before display:

--See Pic 1

I have a standard text label that i need that HRBaK to go into - see under HRBAK in pic 1

My text label has the {var:php16} captured in the value tab - see pic2

Finally I have field php16 returning the resort from my DB - this works as it is displaying HRBAK above the form - see pic 3

Please can you assist?

I've the same problem with a template created on a framework.
Some suggestion?

Hi phimiu ,

Most likely either a CSS or JavaScript error. I suggest that you use your browser web developer tools to check the page.

Thaks for the replay.
Yes is a js error, I tried various ways to fix problem without success.
And, in effect, using with a "base" template or in plain mode, it's works.
So if i can't solve problem, maybe, i try other extension...

Hi phimiu,

It sounds as though it may be a problem with your template :-( Please post a link to the form so that we can take a quick look.

Hi,

The page is not working but the error means some variable is undefined and its not related to Chronoforms, if the error is not fixed it may affect other extensions too!

Ok. I tried to fix the problem about base_url variable, but i can't find any solution.
However there is some other extension in the website that works fine, only CF has the problem.
I can understand the problem about the datapicker, that probably uses JS o Jquery, and that can be affected by something in the Helix 3 framework.
But i can't understand the problem about asterisk near mandatory fields that doesn't appear.

Best regards

Hi phimiu,

The asterisk class is enabled by JS, so it will be affected by any JS errors.

In general, any JS errors will affect any JS code processed after them, so you better find and fix the error, the error is at the file main.js line 290, you should check the source of this file and find why there is an undefined var

Hi phimiu,

If you view the form without the template you will see that the datepicker works and the asterisks are visible.
