Can ChronoForms do this?

Hi,

I am looking for an add-on in Joomla that can do the following basic things for me. Is ChronoForms a good choice to do this and how?

1) a form at forntend to add new entries (name, title, division, etc)
2) a table list for these contacts, can sort by column, can filter the view by division.
3) can delete the entry from the frontend with the table list.

I know ChronoForms can do #1. I have no idea how to do #2 and #3? Please advice.

Thank you.

Hi batmon,

You can do 3 with ChronoConnectivity easily, for #2, you can do it with ChronoConnectivity too but it will need some fair PHP knowledge and managing the things to get it working! this feature will be added later to Connectivity!

Hello,

After play with ChronoForms and ChronoConnectivity, I think they should work for me! However, I haven't figure out how to edit/delete from the frontend yet. After I configured my ChronoConnectivity, I can see it from the front page. In the backend, under ChronoConnectivity's form manager, if I click on "Show Data" link, I can see a list of my table entries and I can choose to edit or delete entries. This is what I want on the frontend. How do I make that work?

Thank you.

I see... so I think the "show data" link is based on what I entered in the "admin config", "Record Edit Template", right? I follow the how-to and it works. There is a tag called "front permissions", and it also has a "Record Edit Template:" block. I copy/paste the same code over but I don't know what URL I need to go to at frontend to see this page?

Please help. Thank you.

btw, great tools. If this works then I will buy both. :-)

Hi batmon,

add "{edit_record}" and "{delete_record}" to the body code and add some text for the edit and delete links at the general tab near the bottom ?

I've added the "{edit_record}" and "{delete_record}" to the body code but I've no idea where to add the text for the links in the general tab. There are the following options: List View Fields, Front view fields, Edit Field(s), Binary Fields, Fields Limits, Linkable Field(s), Sortable Field(s).

Hi manofstyle,

This is a 2008 thread and the reply refers to the 'old' ChronoConnectivity v2. I don't see any equivalent boxes in the new version 4.
