Community Builder 1.2 with Chronoforms

Hello,

Now that Community Builder 1.2 has been released for a bit of time I am trying to get this working with a custom form for sign-up through Chronoforms 3.0

I have been trying to get the plug-in working but so far I have been unsuccessful.

I have applied the patch outlined in this thread: http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=9&t=12055 in the hopes that it would help.

I hope perhaps I may get a hint to find the answer to this issue to track this down.

I have the following configured:

1) The form has been configured and is sending its e-mail to me so I know this part is working with my custom validation code.
2) With debug turned on I do not get any errors that would say there is a problem on the screen but nothing visible about community builder (the _POST: Array is listed as well as the e-mail message on the screen)
3) I have the plug-in checked off as enabled



4) The plug-in fields have been configured as far as I can tell. If you see one missing please let me know:



So far the form posts and completes but nothing is being written to the community builder table.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I am replying to myself for any future users who have this problem.

I confirm it works just fine with community builder 1.2 when the patch is applied.

To be able to determine this I reprogrammed the plugin to add some debugging messages to help find out where my error was.

My problem hinged on the username. In my case I was building the username from several supplied fields in the php validation code area. This is a very useful area to be able to manage the data before completion of the submission.

I found the username was not being set correctly in my code which led to it not working (but with no error messages). Once this was fixed it started working.

I knew it was something small🙂

However, I am now running into an issue with the error message not being displayed to the user when this function is called within the JError function: JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_( $user->getError()));

With my debugging I can confirm the error message is being sent to the JError function.

JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_( $user->getError()));

Can anyone advise why this is not being displayed? Again I would assume it has to do with my template but I have not used this feature before. At the moment there is no feedback loop to the user that the username has been taken, etc..

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Starting from the next release, there will be a very handy API to let your grab errors and form/plugins variables/data inside the form or the plugin!

Hi Max,

That sounds great!

I actually reprogrammed the plug-in to pass the errors sent by community builder so they are now displayed as an error on the form and it stops the submission from continuing.

The plug-in was allowing the form to continue to submit (such as send out e-mails, etc..) for some reason on my install even if the community builder result was sending an error.

Cheers,

Paul
