Dynamic reload error on CC6 for PHP8/J4

webbusteruk 15 Jul, 2023
Hi Max,

This is our last hurdle stopping CC6 from working with all functions on PHP8/J4.

When a field in CC6 uses a dynamic reload, it attempts to send a GET request to chronoforms instead of chronoconnecitivty. In the console, the error shows as:

XHR failed loading: GET "https://www.website.com/component/chronoforms6/?chronoform=demo?event=test&id=151".



The correct URL to send the request should be:

https://www.website.com/component/chronoconnectivity6/?conn=demo?event=test&id=151



Can you please let us know how to fix this? We'd greatly appreciate this.

Hi, zest96, webbusteruk,

As a dedicated CF6 and CCv6 user for more than 8 years  - and thus, delightfully annoying Max ever since CF7 was introduced 😆 - I strongly recommend switching to CF8!

I’m just starting to use it myself, and while there might still be some bugs, so far, I’ve found it much better than my beloved version 6!

Trust me. 😉

Thanks Elita,

My friend's website is in J3, and CF8 installation returns an error , so now i'm struggling with CF7.

I think that Max should add two more demos that could kick CF forward:

  1. Creating an article WITH joomla custom fields
  2. Reading article WITH joomla custom fields
  3. creating 2 dynamic drop downs that are filtering each other.

these are the most common needs in my work for the last many (too many) years with joomla.

  • if you can help me, I'd be grateful and maybe we could find something I can help you.

my email is zest96 at gmail...

Hi zest96,

You should strongly advise your friend to upgrade their website. Currently, using Joomla 3 with PHP lower than 8.2 makes it highly vulnerable. To prevent hacking, they should at least implement some security measures. However, upgrading would be the better option.

By the way, upgrading is not as painful as it used to be in previous Joomla versions. Joomla 4 includes a built-in compatibility check for everything - templates, plugins, etc. - to make the transition smoother.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by the first two list points, but I believe it should be possible with the existing CF8 functionality.

Additionally, I didn't fully understand what kind of help you need.

Regarding the third point, I haven't tested it yet, but I believe the latest version already includes that feature.

Sincerely,

Elita
