Trying to get 3.Stable to work.
When the submit button is clicked... the redirect takes them to the thank you page....but the email never shows up.
Looking on the back end... what happens is that Chronoforms creates a copy of the form under Forms management and names it whatever was in the first field of the form as the 'Name' of the form that was just created.
Any ideas about what I'm missing?

OK... I believe this is a permissions thing, because even though the forms admin page can be changed to "yes" (enabled) on the 'email properties' (second tab) and 'saved'... it still shows 'no' when you go back into the forms manager. So... what config file is this saved in?

Hi Mags,

there is a global email enable at the general tab, please take a moment to read the ChronoForms tutorials on our downloads area!😉

I cant understand this :

what happens is that Chronoforms creates a copy of the form under Forms management and names it whatever was in the first field of the form as the 'Name' of the form that was just created.

We spent over an hour looking thru tutorials last night, but didn't see anything to do with 3.0? I will head back over there now though...

Edit--->
Found it... Downloads.. tutorials. Not the obvious 'Tutorials" link on the right hand side of your site.

No matter what order I attempt to "enable" email under the email properties tab, I can't. I can enable the general tab.. but not the one under "Email Properties".

I have deleted that form and started over... and this no longer occurs

This is resolved... Tutorial is useless...

Hi mags, why you think that the tutorials is useless ? it has a numbered step by step for how to create the email and get it working!

let me know!

If it actually worked using the steps that you outlined... that would be great. But it doesn't. I had to change the order of the steps to get it to work on my installation. If i performed the steps in the order you outlined... it fails.

Hi mags,

which steps was confusing for you ?

NOTHING was confusing to me.

You said

So, which part of that statement is confusing to you?

Hi Mags,

I've just stepped through the tutorial and I see where the problem may be - at steps 6 & 7 you can't actually enable the email. The text below covers this

Notice that when the container opens it is coloured red.
This means that ChronoForms doesn't yet have all the information it needs to complete the email.
The Email Properties box has also opened at the bottom right and you can see that the 'Enabled?' option is greyed out.

but perhaps not clearly enough, I'll add some red Xs in the next version.

Apart from that everything seems to work as described.
