[SOLVED] Mambot Validation Mess

Gekko23 15 Sep, 2008
Hi!


First of all i want to thank you for your absolutely amazing component..it is a real lifesaver for a whole couple of demands, thumbs up!

But.
There are some issues, that i keep on wondering about.

For instance, take your Plugin (My config: Joomla 1.5 / ChronoForms v3.0 Beta 2 / Plugin Bot v0.6):
When testing a form by selecting the path in the ChronoForms overview, a frontend page will be generated with everything working perfect. I activate a lot of verifications in the "Validate" tab in the backend and as i said, everything works fine when clicking on the direct link for frontend testing in the forms overview.

As soon as the form is inserted into content and generated through the bot plugin, nothing works anymore.
1. The whole ChronoForms CCS is not embedded by the bot. Yeah, of course i can put it inside the template_css, but with 2 forms on a whole site this CAN'T be a serious solution. And browser verifications allow a whole bunch of possible error possibilities. And i don't understand this as the generated code by direct link in the backend embedded everything and it works perfect, so why do you change that for the bot when it leads to that mess? No mouseover tooltips where shown, etc.
2. By direct link the scripts where embedded (and not linked to) in the HTML source. Not so by the bot, rendering every scripted validation useless. Once more: why does the bot change the complete script handling, when it works like a charm using the direct link? In the directly embedded script i can see browser verification toggling different methods, but the content bot leaves you to solve this problem by scratch although it was solved by you absolute perfectly. i really don't see any sense in crwaling through your code to reproduce the script handling that your component already rendered inside the direct links.

Could you please tell me how to get rid of that script/CSS mess that the bot leaves in content mode ? Could you please tell me how to switch the behaviour of the bot to render exactly in the same way as your component renders the direct links from inside the ChronoForms backend ? I'm really stuck here inside that mess spending hours for hours for solving something that obviously does not have to be done from a logical point of view.

Thanks in advance,
Gekko

By the way, the bot creates references to files, that do not exist anymore: it tries to link to a mootools-release-1.11.js, that is part of the J!1.0 v2.39 version, but not included in the v3.0 anymore. i really don't get the sense of it all.

Thank you for your quick reply!

OMG!
I really had installed a wrong bot and spent literally HOURS in modifying it to deliver the same results like the one you posted!
Thank you very much for that hint, i can't believe it!
