Hi,

#1- check the user manager, can you see new account created there ?
#2- check the plugin config page (where you filled the fields names), there is 2 dropdowns to enable for the emails there!

Hello Max

thanks for your reply

1- i checked the user manger and there's no email created
2- i don't know which plugin page you mean plz clarify

Thanks

Hi,

#1- you mean no "account" created ? then you didn't follow the steps of the tutorial ?

#2- when you check the form then click the "joomla registration" link in the left side of the "forms management" page!

Cheers
Max

HELLO MAX

well i followed the tutorilas but i didn't make antispam part is this could me a reason?

also there's some thing need tell you about it

in my regstration form i added more filed like country,zipcode ,city,etc how can joomla registration plugin could read the extra fileds i'm sorry for my quest but i'm new here

Thanks

Hi Eng_shimo,

#1- no, the antispam will not change anything with this, you must have missed a main point, did you enable the plugin and make the config as I mentioned in #2 ?

to save the extra data you need to "create table" and connect to it through the form! create the table through the forms management page, while doing this make sure you choose all the fields you need!

Cheers
Max

Hello Max

ok #1 yes i enabled the 2 emails in joomla plugin page

but what do you mean with enable joomla plugin u mean when i lick the plugin with the page of the registration like the tutorial said or there's a plugin or mambot for joomla registration i should upload it to my site

2- for creating table i see DB connection tab which show the tables exit in the site and nothing more
mu quest is

a- which tab i can use to creat table?
b- how i can connect it to the table of the form i guess will use jos\-user right?

Thanks

Hi Eng_shimo,

#1- to enable the plugin this under the "plugins" tab in the form edit page!

#2- in the forms management page, you have an icon at the top right for creating tables! you will connect to this table, don't connect to the jos_user table!

Max

Hi, at the 2nd photo try to make it "after email", although it should work now, you don't get a new user added when you submit this form ?

Regards,
Max

Hi Max!

It seems the "after email" thing helped! I don't know why, but It is working now!

Thx

Wow! I was delighted to accidentally find this page... among my hunt to solve a missing "activation-link email" problem. I didn't know chronoform can solve 2 of my problems at the same time!
1. Customisable registration form (which I searched high & low. Installed CB & had to uninstall becos interface is complicated & not pretty)
2. I can use Chronoform to send an activation email

I am so glad to find this post by incident. If I have found it earlier, it could have spare me so much time & agony.

Thanks, Chrono team!

Oops, I am on Page 13 of the 14 pages tutorial. The second final step, I was not directed to "on the page that appears, put the input names you noted earlier on...".

Do you know what wasn't working properly? =)

Question number 2, will this login info be stored in somewhere? Do I need to create a table (database) like other chronoform I created?

Cheers!


(My version of Joomla is 1.5.)

Hi Purple Knight,

That's the plugin Configuration window. Do any of them open for you?

Bpb

Hi Bob, nice to see you again. 🙂

1. Missing plugin Configuration window
Very strange but its solved. The problem occurs when I use IE. But appears if I switch to using Safari.

2. Small suggestion for Chronoform Tutorial 4
Do you want to add one more page to remind users to link the newly created form with a new table? =)

3. Password & confirmation fields
Strange enough in the table, my password & password confirmation are text_5 & Text_6. However when I fill it accordingly. There's an error prompt. So I just change it to text_4 & text_5 and it works. It's a little strange as it is not following the info in the database. (For your info, I added 2 additional fields).

4. Can I customising the wording for...
"Your account has been created and an activation link has been sent to the e-mail address you entered. Note that you must activate the account by clicking on the activation link when you get the e-mail before you can login."

5. Didn't receive activation link email
After filling up the form, I get a confirmation on my page. But no email sent to the specified email a/c.

Ooops, looks like I have a lot of questions to ask... 🙄

Hi Purple Knight,

Good to see you too :-)

1) I just checked in IE 6,7,8 on my PC and can see the Plugin Config in all versions (though there's some JS error message in IE6 from the Joomla Admin page).

2) I'll take a look

3) I suspect this may be a mismatch between field_names and IDs - the validation occasionally works on IDs

4) This is a standard Joomla language file entry - for me it's in language/en-GB/en-GB.com_user.ini and is REG_COMPLETE_ACTIVATE= on line 89

5) No idea :-(

Bob

Good day 😀

Ah... Number 5 is my biggest concern. Registering users aren't able to receive the activation link email.

Do you have any suggestion or anywhere I can look under?

So far, I have tried
+ Email my provider and gotten the SMTP info
+ Mass email via Joomla & successful
+ Look around in JFusion <-- they say not their problem
+ Asked in PHPBB <-- but cant be theirs, as I turned the registration off there

Looking... looking... lightbulb

Hi PK,

#5, do you have "Email the user" option the plugin config set to "YES" ?

Cheers
Max

Hi Max,

Thank you for your kind reply. 🙂

May I know what is "do you have "Email the user" option the plugin config set to "YES" ?"?

Under the global configuration --> user setting --> new user account activation = yes
Under the registration chronoform --> plugin --> joomla registration (checked)

So far, I am able to send mass-mail. But unable to send activation link email.

Thanks a lot, Max.

Hi PK,

Forms manager > check the form > click Joomla registration on the left > there is an option to email the user, is it set to "yes" ?

Max

Hi Max, yes under "email user", it is set to "yes". 🙂

Actually, I realised it may not be my Chronoform issue. As I turned the Chronoform off, I am still unable to receive the activation link email. But can mass-mail. Do you have any tip where else I can trouble shoot?

Hi PK,

Does the Chronoforms usual forms emails work ? check your Joomla mail settings under the Global config screen!

Regards
Max
