How to use a CC connection into a CF form

shiluba 04 Jan, 2022
Hi,I'm trying to use a CC6 connection as part of a CF6 form. I can insert it by using {connection:connection_name} but it add a nested form after
the opening <form> tag of the Chronoforms. Obviously that does not work. The CF elements that are placed after the connection's closing tag are not submitted and the closing </form> tag of the Chronoform gets removed.
Is there a way I can tell CC6 not to add its <form> & </form> tags to the connection ?

Hi Shiluba,

I don't know of any way to remove those <form> tags. You could include the form as a part of the listing, or display the listing immediately before or after the form if that will help solve your problem.

PS CFv7 includes a ChronoConnectivity like listing if that helps?

Thank you Bob.
Too bad it's not doable right from a CFv6. But I found a way for doing what I wanted : allow selecting a Joomla user form the ChronoForm. Instead of using a connection, i have set an autocomplete dropdown list.

I did not know about CFv7 including a CC like listing. Does this feature fully replace ChronoConnectivity, or will there be a CCv7 someday ?
Actually that's the main reason why I did not migrated my forms to CFv7 yet. Many of them depend on CF/CC interactions.
Best regards,

Hi shiluba,

My understanding - which may not be correct - is that the listing feature is intended to replace CCv7.
