Hi,
is it possible to load a registration form (created with chronoforms) in on simple joomla-article?
How can I do this?

Mac

Hi mac,

Yes, you can do this with the ChronoForms Mambot/PlugIn - usually availalbe from the downaloads area here but we're currently waiting for Max to publish the latest version for ChronoForms 3.1 (the previous version will not work correctly with the latest release).

Hi Bob,
the (ChronoForms Mambot_V0.9_V3.1RC2.zip) chronocontact was installed but there are no Parameter http://www.formfalt.net/chronocontact_plugin.gif to select.
I don't now how to contain the registration form into a article 😶
Mac

Hi Mac,

From the FAQs here

Joomla mambots are small plugins that scan Joomla content pages before they are published and are used, for example, to add images.

The ChronoForms mambot can be used to add a form to a content page. Make sure the mambot is installed and published, create your form as usual, then insert {chronocontact}my_form_name{/chronocontact} in the content page where you want the form to appear.

Bob

Hi Bob,
the link to my article (there is this code placed {chronocontact}registrierung{/chronocontact})
shows a new page with this text
{chronocontact}registrierung{/chronocontact}
and not the registration-form with the name 'registrierung'
checked:
The plugin chronocontact ist active.

Mac

:?: anyboy an idea, how I can loose this problem?
Regards
Mac

Hi Mac,

Please double check that the Plugin is published - this is the cause of this problem 95% of the time. The rest of the time there is a typo in the form name or some conflict with another PlugIn (that's very rare).

Bob

...okay, I'll test all.
Regards
Mac

Sorry, I must ask again.

I want to uninstall the chronocontact plugin - than this error was shown:
Plugin Uninstall: Manifest File invalid or not found

In the folder on my server I can't found any file in the plugin/content folder.

When I want to install the Plugin 'ChronoForms Mambot V 0.8 - CFV3.0 Stable.zip'
this message is shown:
Plugin Installieren: Plugin "chronocontact" existiert bereits!

Where is my mistake?
Mac

Hi Mac,

It sounds as though the files have been deleted but there's still an entry in the jos_plugins table in the database. You may need to delete this by hand.

Bob

Hi,
in the joomla database I cleared the
jos_chrono_contact_plugin
but the same error message is shown.

In the database there are now this two tables:
jos_chrono_contact
jos_chrono_contact_emails

I think they must be there?!

Mac

Hi mac,

Yes, those are ChronoContact tables - nothing to do with the plugin.

Bob

Oh, have I cleared the wrong one?

I looked at the database again - there is a jos_plugins (you said that) 😶
Now I don't know - have I killed with 'jos_chronocontact_plugin' the wrong one??
Must I kill the jos_plugins??

Thank you for help
Mac

Hi mac,

Fortunately I have no idea what you have done. There is or was one record for the chronocontact plugin in the jos_plugins table. That's all that you need to delete assuming that, as you say, all the files are already deleted.

Bob

Hi,
the combination Registration-form (chronoforms) with the plugin Joomla Registration
need the database table 'jos_chrono_contact_plugins' is missing. (I eliminate this table :-( )

TableChronoContactPlugins::store failed - Table 'usr_web361_1.jos_chrono_contact_plugins' doesn't exist SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_chrono_contact_plugins` ( `id`,`name`,`event`,`form_id`,`params`,`extra4`,`extra5` ) VALUES ( '','cf_joomla_registration','ONSUBMIT','6','name=\nusername=\nemail=\npass=\nvpass=\nemailuser=Yes\nemailadmins=Yes\nonsubmit=after_email','','' )

Is it posible that i can attach this table per hand into the database?
Or is it better I uninstall the whole chronoform component?

Regards
Mac

Hi Mac

the SQL to load the table again is at administrator/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.xml

if you can load the table again with the code then that's fine, otherwise you need to uninstall and reinstall!

Hi Max,
I installed the component 'chronoforms' new.
Before I had saved my forms with the backup function and now I will restore the .cfbak files.
I load the .cfbak files with the restor forms function but my forms are not shown in the chronoform manager.
Must I do anything else?

Regards
Mac

Hi Mac,

if you try to restore forms and it doesn't work then you have a permissions limits on the "cache" folder under the joomla root, make sure its writable! the problem has been posted here before!

Cheers
Max

Hi Max,
the folder 'cache' in my joomla root is writable
in this cache folder must there be an folder 'com_chronoforms'?
or must also the folder 'com_content' be writable?

Mac

only the cache folder, how do you know its writable ? is it joomla writable ?

Max

Hi Max,
I had a look at the server and there are the power on 777 - but is this not the right thing what you mean.

Mac

Hi Mac,

Look at it under the joomla admin site info, its the last menu item on the right side, it should be listed as writable in green!

Regards
Max

Great!
Thanks Max,
only the 'cache' folder was writable and not the 'administrator/cache'
Now it's done and the backed form is upload again 🙂

One problem with the url:
my link from the menue to the Menutype 'chrono forms' is generated:
http://my url/index.php?Itemid=110&option=
but I nead
http://my url/kontaktformular.html 'kontaktformular' is the form name

Which settings are wrong?

Regards
Mac

Hi,
the problem with the wrong url is detached. 🙂

Mac

great! 🙂

Max
