Converting CF7 to CF8
Did you try v8 ?
I was trying to convert my CF5 forms to the new CF8 version. However some function are not available (yet?). Especially multiple field can not be made conditional (or I did not find the way to do it!).
So I went back to CF7 and I am still stuck with some problems. It would be really helpful to have a more comprehensive manual or the support that was available in the earlier days. The youtube tutorials are OK but only for some basic forms. As soon as some complex forms are needed, the guessing beginns..
I miss the great help that Grayhead provided us in the past.
Did you check the Events Triggers and Listeners ? you can enable/disable fields validations using a listener on the field you want to make conditional
Currently we are having to convert all our forms/connections to CF7 because CF8 can't do connectivity stuff yet .. (eg calling "Actions" in different views/pages).
I have tried myself to madness, but can not find the solution for the following attached form. always no data saved on the database table and no pdf file uploaded. Can you please help me out?
Form with dropdown selection and conditional multifields. Upload pdf and data to be sent to database. Confimation after completion.
v7 forms importer has been added to Chronoforms v8.0.27
Max,
So this means I can purchase ChronoForms 8.x and convert my ChronoForms 7.x forms without having to redo all forms from scratch??
I have not been around for a while so excuse me if I am repeating someone else's post.
Best regards,
Donna
Hi Donna
Yes, just download and install v8 on the same site (but you must have PHP 8 or later) and try to restore your v7 forms backup file
Most common settings will be restored, but some advanced settings will not be restored, so you need to retest your forms "carefully"
Max,
If you were closer, I'd give you a hug!!!
Thank you so much!!!
