Unable to create even the simplest form

Hello,
there must be something wrong with my installation, although my chronoforms interface displays as shown in the tutorials. However, when I have finished creating a form with the wizard, the form does not show the fields properly and displays this error msg:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$dbconnection in D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\components\com_chronocontact\chronocontact.php on line 40

Further errors include, in the forms properties window: submissions limit in seconds: <br /> <b>Notice</b>: Undefined property: stdClass::$submissions_limit in <b>D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\administrator\components\com_chronocontact\admin.chronocontact.html.php</b> on line <b>1268</b><br />

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Piero

Hi pieemme,

These are PHP notices that are 'warning' rather than an error - though they do get in the way. Usually they can be suppressed by setting Error Reporting to 'System Default', 'Simple' or 'None' in your site Global Configuration | Server tab. Which setting is best will depend on the way your site is confugured. If none of these work then ask again and we'll show you the php configuration fix.

PS Hopefully these will be fixed in the ChronoForms 3.1 due shortly.

Hello Bob,
thanks for the prompt reply. I still have an error in the form management window, in the General tab, with the Submissions limit (in seconds): instead of displaying a numeric value, it returns this error : <br /> <b>Notice</b>: Undefined property: stdClass::$submissions_limit in <b>D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\administrator\components\com_chronocontact\admin.chronocontact.html.php</b> on line <b>1268</b><br />

Moreover, the form fields don't appear: all I see are the field labels. Well, after having retried various times, I see an odd behaviour in that some of the fields, athough invisible, appear to be editable (which may depend on the css template). In another attempt, I noticed that the field appeared to become editable if I submitted the form, with the validation message coming up (which may be due to the javascript code?)

I have set the server handling of error messages to none. As I would like to gather data from the registrations to an event, I haven't included any anti-spam capchas: could this be the reason for the errors?. All I really want is to store such data as phone nr, email address, location, company, etc. Should I rather be using some other registration form?

Kind regards,

Piero

Hi piemme,

If 'None' doesn't remove the error messages please try the other two options. It has nothing to do with captcha.

If the form fields don't appear but the labels do then most probably your template is giving your white fields with white borders on a white background. See if you can type in them even though you can't see them.

Bob

Yes, you are right as to the white borders, being due to my template. Yet, as I mentioned in my edited message above, some fields become writeable only after trying to submit the form.

I have been trying all combinations, but I can't get rid of the following error messages:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$imgver_error_msg in D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\administrator\components\com_chronocontact\admin.chronocontact.html.php on line 1843

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$plugins in D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\components\com_chronocontact\chronocontact.html.php on line 302

Still checking. I just thought the appearance issue might be due to Firefox 3 and I was right. All is ok with IE7, while I still get the error msg:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$plugins in D:\Siti\Agroenergia 3\Joomla_1.5.7_ita-Stable\components\com_chronocontact\chronocontact.html.php on line 302

Hi piemme,

Please try the new V3.1 and you should have no notices or errors by default!

Cheers
