Forms and Connectivity Example start to finish!

djemmers 26 Mar, 2009
thank you for this great tut, you can see all kinds of examples in it...
only, when I publish my submit form,log in and try submit it,
I get following warning message:
"U dient minstens één ontvangers e-mailadres op te geven." in orange/yellow
In english that means: you need to give at least one recepient email.

But there are no email fields?
Is it something that is forgotten in the tut?
or is it because it is a fresch install and as first time user I forgot some setting somewhere ?

edit: oh yes, the entry isn't put in the table.

Djemmers,

Forms management -> select the form you want to change -> then in tab emailssetup you should have entered:
From name
From email adres
To email adres
Subject

The box then will appear in green.

tnx for the reply, fixed it.
I don't see how it was off topic as it was about the tutorial (http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=5&t=12324&start=15) but nevermind.
I wanted to post the following message under that tut but I'll post it here then:

ok, now my "problem"

I also think I followed the tut to the letter 😲
only thing I didn't do was fill in the sample data.
everything goes nicely first
I can surf to the scr_AWARDS form
hit add_entry , fill in the fields
hit save
and then it doesn't get saved and I get the following error:
Tablechronoforms_src::store failed - Unknown column 'ordering' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO `eve_chronoforms_src` ( `cf_id`,`scrnum`,`lastname`,`firstname`,`middlei`,`city`,`state`,`date`,`time`,`ordering` ) VALUES ( '0','123','vanmolkot','fdqsjm','fdjkqs','fdsqklmfjdsq','fjmklqsf','17/09/1979','08:00 PM','' )

and indeed, there is no field ordering in the db (went to have a look with phpmyadmin) and I think there shouldn't be.
Where does the sql get formed?

extra info
php 5+
forms:V3.1 RC3.zip
connectivity:v1.2 plus updates in tut

Hi Djemmers,

well, your first question was off topic, and it would just break the topic ideas flow!🙂

now to your problem, the ordering field i used when ordering is enabled, do you have the ordering enabled in Connectivity ?

where can you see if ordering is enabled?

I only found one place where it is mentioned:
I go in the backand to connectivity,
click on the concernig form
then on admin config
there the ordering field name is empty.
or do I need to set it somewhere else ?
Max_admin 27 Mar, 2009
Hi Djemmers,

if its empty then ordering should not be used but for some reason its, may be its something missed in the config or a bug, so for now, please manually add an ordering filed to your table and add "ordering" in the empty field you mentioned!

Well, the topic you posted tells that this is a bug and so its better to add the word "ordering" and a field to the table with the title "ordering" (INT(4)) too!

ok did that and works like a charm.
I continued with the search tut and that also works!
(now I have all the functionalities that I want!) and I will start making my own forms. tnx for that!

One other thing is the validation fo the connectivity forms, the example tuts don't have validation.
and of course they are needed.
I know I have to use javascript for that and that it probably goes in: connectivity->the form->front permissions->JS code
but i don't know where to look for info about that?

I am planning on getting the example "Forms and Connectivity Example start to finish!" to validate when submitting/editting a form and then writing a how to to be attatched to the src_awards example in the tut.

so any help (pointers) would be great

Hi djemmers,

Great, right now I'm very dedicated to Chronoforms to finish a new better release which I want out very quickly, I can't remember if what you need is possible with Connectivity :? I'm doing all the support alone now too because Bob is off for a few days so I'm afraid I will not be able to help you with this issue for few days too! 😟

Hey,

The support here is great!
Much better then the support on 80% of the other extentions.
So you won't hear me complain.
