Error: Name of the form does not exist

"There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management "

I try to link a menu item to a form using joomla 1.57

I am positive that the name exists, and that it is enabled.
Using the link as shown on the form does work index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=MyForm
but when go through the menu item it only does the following: index.php?option=com_chronocontact

What do I do wrong?

Additionally I could not install the plg package (not an xml file included).

Hi dakke,

#1- of which type is this menu item ? is it from type chronoforms ? do you add the fromname at the right side while creating the menu item then ?
#2- which plugin you are trying to install ? please don't mix between joomla plugins and chronoforms plugins!

regards

Max

Menu Type:

Chrono Contact
Create everytype of Forms with whatever features you like!!

Plugin:
http://www.chronoengine.com/downloads/folder/24-Chronoforms%20Plugins.html

Thanks

Hi dakke,

is this V3.0 stable ? please got to the menu and click new, then select "chrono forms" from the list and hit next and then write the menu title and write the form name on the right side parameters and save!

this is a chronoforms plugin to be installed with FTP, not the joomla installer, the chronoforms "joomla" plugin is under the folder mambots!

Regards

max

It is indeed 3 stable.

I did write the form name on the right side, but does not work. Is it allowed to have capitals as in 'MyForm'?

Do I need the plugin to let it work?

I am also not able to upload the example form.
error:

Restoring the whole form failed Failed, error : Unknown column 'extraemail' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO jos_chrono_contact (id,name,html,scriptcode,redirecturl,emailresults,extraemail,emailsubject,onsubmitcode,onsubmitcodeb4,attformtag,submiturl,emailtemplate,paramsall,titlesall,autogenerated,published) VALUES ('','test_form','Name:

I might have some issues with my upgrade to 1.5.7, I will check

Much apologies. It was an issue with the actual menu.

I use a menu that is not really a stable versions let's say. It looks good but does not work really smoothly. So I tried to move the menu to another menu system, I suddenly realized that there might be a problem with the menu instead of the component.
Adding the menu item to a standard menu did work! Problem solved and nothing to do with your component.

No problems, I was going to tell you that the link you get through the menu doesn't have itemid at the end and this is of course wrong!

the V2.x forms will not get restored on V3.x

there is a test form for V3.0 stable here somewhere on forums, the file is called TEST.zip to try!

Max

Hi udaydahale,

That's not the problem that you described in your first post. Please be clear exactly what is happening.

A link to the form would be useful now.

Bob

thx again for reply sir,

Uday

Hi Uday,

I'm still not clear but I notice that in one post the form name appears to be submitContent and in the other submitcontent. That capital C could be the problem????

Bob

thx for reply sir,

see the line 108 in the given image
and
<script type="text/javascript">
Element.extend({
getInputByName2 : function(nome) {
el = this.getFormElements().filterByAttribute('name','=',nome)
return (el)?(el.length)?el:el:false;
}
});
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
('article,textarea').split(',').each(function(field){
$('ChronoContact_submitcontent').getInputByName2(field).addClass('required');
});
});
</script> <script type="text/javascript">
Element.extend({
getInputByName2 : function(nome) {
el = this.getFormElements().filterByAttribute('name','=',nome)
return (el)?(el.length)?el:el:false;
}
});
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
('article,textarea').split(',').each(function(field){
$('ChronoContact_submitcontent').getInputByName2(field).addClass('required');
});
});
</script>
the line should be color and bold line
i also attached the form code back up file
plz give me the solution for this issue

Hi Uday,
It would seem your site loads two different versions of mootools, 1.12 and 1.11. That's usually not such a good idea. It further tries to load a third copy, which however returns a 404 Not Found error. There are also multiple copies of the same mootools library loaded.

The older library seems to originate from mod_flippingbook_book_list, and the not-found from mod_ja_contentslide.

I'm not sure why (though I suspect the multiple mootools to be part of this), but the Element.extend method fails to add the getInputByName2() method to the extended Form element. See if you can't prevent these extensions of yours from loading additional copies of mootools (regardless of version), and check if this solves the issue.

I try to disable javascript from my site and when i open the page source i found the following script

<script>document.location.href='http://kirreshgroup.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=129&lang=en';</script>


Please how to solve this problem

Hi msharab,

That's not anything I recognise from the ChronoForms code. But it would explain the problem you are having.
