Hi all.

I've paid for my licence so I figured it would be OK to ask a question. 😛 (Great component by the way)
I have looked for an answer before posting, so apologies if this has been asked before.

Anyway, I'd like to use image verification for obvious reasons on my site, but I have a long form. If someone messes up the verification they lose all of the data they typed.
Is there a way to keep this data so that it's still there when they return for another attempt.

My form is here: http://www.theploughharborne.co.uk/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=JobApplication

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve,

at the anti spam tab there is an option called "try to republish", please enable this one!

Not on my installation there isn't.....😟

Just on/off and with/without fonts.

I'm running Joomla 1.15 with Chronoforms 2.3.9

Is the option of which you speak perhaps only on V3 for Joomla 1.5?
If so, I wonder if it could be included in the next version for my Joomla.

Hi budfox,

I'm afraid that the feature is only in v3.0 and, given the relatively small number of new users with Joomla 1.0.x, Max doesn't appear to be doing any more development for the old version of ChronoForms.

You can get the same effect though with a bit of work. You need to set the values of each of your form fields with the corresponding submitted value from $_POST

<input type='text' name='form_field' value='<?php echo $_POST['form_field']; ?>' />

If you have radio, checkbox or select fields the code is a little more complex but does the same thing.

PS Out of curiousity what stops you upgrading to Joomla 1.5?

Hi Bob.

Well I have about 30 sites that I manage running 1.15 (mainly pubs in the UK). I'm happy with it, it does all I need (until now 😢 ) and upgrading isn't a 'one-click' process.
I also prefer the 1.15 interface and am very comfortable with it.

The other thing that kept me on 1.15 was the huge amount of templates available for free.
Now that I understand templates a bit more I just hack good ol' SolarFlare to do what I want, so the free template issue has gone away.

My end users (the licencees) aren't very demanding (most don't even look at their sites as Enterprise Inns pay for them). It's just this one that has quite an 'interested' client.

Finally, I suspect that anything malicious in future might be aimed at 1.5 and above, so I'm hoping that 1.15 is *slightly* less prone to assault.

Hi budfox, I understand, using Bob's code and searching the forums for this issue will bring many results and should do it, as Bob said our solution is just new and there was another one done the old way!

Thanks.

I tried Bobs solution but didn't get it working yet.

I'll keep trying though.

show me a piece of your form code and I will try to help!
