External database connection not working after update

neotrend 05 Mar, 2019
After the last update, the connection to the external database was lost. Opening and saving database connection, disable and enable again did not work.
Opening the database gives the following error: 1146Table 'dbname_joomla.2' doesn't exist.

In the settings, the name of the database is dbname_joomla, not dbname_joomla.2. Where does the number cames from?

Have this same problem.

It seems that the latest version of CC is not reading external database table names correctly.

Instead of the name of the table, it calls up the id of the table instead. So if you are reading from the first table (increment id from 0) called db_users in the database, it results in the error:

1146 Table 'dbname_joomla.0' doesn't exist.


When it should be trying to read table 'dbname_joomla.db_users'.

Hello,

That problem was fixed in the latest Chronoforms 6.0.24, so please make sure you install the latest Chronoforms after Connectivity and the problem should not occur!

Please test and confirm this!

Installing CF 6.0.24 did indeed fix the issue, however this causes other problems with CC instead.

On another post Max said you can email him using the Contact button up top to get a temporary patch, while waiting for the next version.
