Form Not Published

Eclectic 16 Dec, 2008
I've created a form using the forms wizard, it is published and linked to a menu item. When clicked it displays: Form not published....

How do I fix this problem?

Hi Eclectic,

What happens when you click the form link in the Forms Manager - the form url, not it's name?

Where the form should appear it reads: Joomla Professional Work

Under the sidebar it reads: Chrono Forms: There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished.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

When I unpublish the module, the text under the sidebar does not appear. I'm not sure what the module is for?

Hi Eclectic,

So, have you published the Form in the Forms Manager - over in the right hand column?

Hi Eclectic,

there is some misunderstanding here, if the form is not published then you should not see that link, do you have the form at 2 places ? like a module and a page too ? can I see your site ?

The form is only in one place, I have deactivated the link and am using CK forms in the interim. I wanted to use Chronoforms because it has more fields and the CK form capcha is not working. The form is a "contact us" so if I enable it people will see the error.

I could enable it briefly, but the form does not display so I'm not sure what good that would do. It just displays what I wrote above. Maybe this link will work:

I see you have not added any fields to your form and so this is the expected result!🙂

I will move this thread to the Chronoforms questions forums!

I have 6 fields added to the form using the forms wizard. When I add the 'submit' button to my form using the wizard it takes me to the menu with all the tabs, it doesn't let me finish the form... I haven't found in the tabs where the fields are. So the 'submit' button is acting as a confirmation that the form is completed.

I went through the wizard process again (AVOIDING TOUCHING THE SUBMIT BUTTON) and was able to save the fields, the form appears now:

But the captcha is not there and the title Joomla Professional Work still appears, how can I fix this? Also, how do you use the forms wizard once the form has been saved if I want to change some fields?

Also, I've try testing the form by entering the contact information and it does not email the contents as instructed. Not to the "dynamic to" or the BCC. I've enabled "email results" in the general tab.

Hi Eclectic,

Regarding the email issue, please look at Download/Chronoforms tutorials/ setup email tutorial!

The submit button issue is a bug to be fixed!

did you add a captcha to the form ? did you enable it in the "anti spam" tab ?

The wizard feature is one step in creating the form, you may need to edit your form code to reach to the final result you really need, editing form in the wizard is not available in V3.0 stable but will be in V3.1, the wizard was added to V3.0 only and I didn't know that alot of people will like to rely on it only, so very soon we will have a new better approach.

do you have a license to remove the "professional...etc" link ?
