J4 URL-routing and CF7

dsimonse 14 Oct, 2023
I've upgraded my site to J4 and it seems as if CF7 don't really fit into the J4 "Menu assingnment function". I can't assign certain modules to CF4.
Known issue?

what do you mean by "can't assign certain modules" ? you mean a menuitem of type CF7 ?

Hi,
I have upgraded to J4 and a new template YOOtheme.
In our memberarea we have a new position "sidebar" where the menu for the memberarea is located.
The idea is that the position should be visible when clicking on any menuitem - and it is - for all exept the CF7.
These menuitems are CF7 "index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&view=form" and thte sidebar is not to be seen even if I put them in a article (plugin).

The URL looks a bit different compared to J3 (and the old template YOUGrids)
J3: "/anmalan-ungdomsgrupp.html?chronoform=anmalan_ungdomsgrupp&gpage=listing"
J4: "/component/chronoforms7/?chronoform=anmalan_ungdomsgrupp&gpage=listing"

if the URL is theme dependent then it's an issue with the theme

Hi Max,
Well, its just with CF7 that the URL gets like this, with RSEvent!PRO. Phoca Download and ACY-mailing the URL stays the same as the old.
So YOOtheme belives that the issue lies with CF7.

this should be fixed in the next update, but the error is dependent on your mysql installation, so most users do not have this error

the new update should be available by Monday I believe

Hi,
Created the "Simple Contact Form" and it seems to work.
And the URL seems to look OK.

Hi Max,
So no fix for v7?
//Dennis
dsimonse 25 Oct, 2023
Hi again Max,
I discovered that a "Sequential form" works in CF7 (public accessable) if I put it in the place with issues, and it is a "Standalone form" (logged-in users) that doesn't work.
The "Sequential" is for putting data into the DB, the "Standalone" is to list this data (and the "Standalone" alters the URL).
So I don't know how to test this in CF8.
Max_admin 26 Oct, 2023
v8 forms are sequential only at the moment

are you saying that v7 sequential forms urls are working fine but not the "standalone" forms ?

Hi Max,
Yes, I use the "Standalone" forms (listing) in the logged-in area where the "sidebar"-menu is present.

I didn't realize it before you asked me to test the v8-form and I tested my sequential forms in that position.

Hi Max,
If I get a email to you I can do a backup and send it to you?

How do I attach a file to the ticket?

//Dennis
Max_admin 07 Nov, 2023
Hi Dennis,

I was asking about a description of how your listing work, I do not need to have a backup

v8 has a "Table view" which can list records, but any advanced features like filtering or editing..etc will be available in Connectivity 8, which is not ready yet.

if you have J4 or J5 then please update your v7 to 7.0.12 and check if this helps ?

Hi Max,
Well, 7.0.12 didn't make it.
