Session Group and Save to Session action in CF6

How to save data to session in ChronoForms v6.

Overview

The "Save to Session" action from earlier versions is not available in the CF6 actions menu.
Use the Data Builder action under Logic. Set the Type to "Session", specify the variable name, and enter the data source (like {uuid:}) in the Data Provider field.

Hi Gents,

I´m really new with Chronoforms, so please sorry (in advance) for this newbie questions 😀

I´m looking at the example of joomla user registration form and I can see that is applied a "Save to Session" action (2) in the Submit area to keep the activation code. The problem is that I cannot find this action in the actions menu (1).

Why is this action missing? Was it removed for this new version? If that so, what is the substitute for this action?

Once I´m still working on localhost, I´m working with a unregistered version. Could this be the problem?

Thank you very much.

Hi Orlando,

Use the "data builder" under Logic, set the Type to "Session" and the var name to "activation_code" and the "data override" to "{uuid:}"

Hi Max,

Thank you for the quick answer.

That´s right, it works that way with a small difference, the "{uuid:}" should go into the "Data provider" field instead of the "data override".

Than you very much once again.

Kind regards,
Orlando
