Hi Folks,
I've just downloaded Chrono Connectivty 2.0 RC1 (six hours ago) and just can't get it to work.
Its no installation problem (got no error) it's just that I cant save any new connection.

I started with creating a chrono form, added some content to my database with it (just three fields: 'who' bring 'how_much' of 'what' to the party next week) and now want to show that list. But I just cant get it to work.

Is there anybody who can give me just the information on how to start working with this great tool? Allready tried this tutorial (http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=5&t=12324 // about 15 times) but as you know, its not for the 2.0 version. So, what do I have to do?

Hi philino,

It's probably this problem

no, that was not the solution.

I can't select the "Data View Fields Names" in the Admin-Settings-tab. It's just says "Please select a table first " what I think I've done by selecting my data table in the general tab.

Hi philino,

That's how it should work, try clearing your browser cache in case some script is corrupted from the previous problems.

If the site is on-line you can email of PM me a superadmin logon and I'll take a look if you like.

Hi philino,

There's a 406 error being shown when ChronoForms tries to use Ajax to read the table field list:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>406 Not Acceptable</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Acceptable</h1>
<p>An appropriate representation of the requested resource /administrator/index3.php could not be found
on this server.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p>

FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at de.igw.edu Port 80</address>
</body></html>

I think this can be cleared by changing a mod_security setting in the webadmin.

I have the same problem of philino

I can't select the "Data View Fields Names" in the Admin-Settings-tab. It's just says "Please select a table first " what I think I've done by selecting my data table in the general tab.

I didn't have errors during the installation and I tried the workaround suggested by Greyhead.

After the table selection in the "general" tab I can't select the data field in the "admin settings" tab

I tried locally on my machine and it worked like a charme, but online it doesn't.
I already tried to unistall, flush, cancel cache, change name, etc

Sorry for my english and for my previous post.
Thanks in advance

Update.
I try digging a little the apache log and I found this


[Tue Jun 30 15:28:48 2009] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 400 (phase 2). Operator EQ matched 0 at REQUEST_HEADERS. [file "/etc/apache/modsecurity/modsecurity_crs_20_protocol_violations.conf"] [line "52"] [id "960012"] [msg "POST request must have a Content-Length header"] [severity "WARNING"] [hostname "xxx.xxx.xxx"] [uri "/administrator/index3.php"] [unique_id "SkoTEH8AAAEAABh9w2UAAABK"]

So seeing that the error are the data field not viewable I digged the chronoconnectivy code and I found this function, that should be responsible of the error

function loadfields(fieldname)
{        	
	var url = 'index3.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&task=ajax&format=raw&tablenames='+$('tablenames').value;
	var url = 'index3.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&task=ajax&format=raw&tablenames=jos_chronoforms_Fotovoltaico';
        myAjax = new Ajax(url, {
        	method: 'post',
        	onRequest: function(){
			//test = $(fieldname+'_ajax').getParent();
        		//test.setHTML('<div id=\'field_name\'>Loading . . .</div>')
    		},
        	onSuccess: function(req) {
			var data = req.split('#####*****#####');
			$('allfields').setHTML(data[0]);
			$('publishedfield').setHTML(data[1]);
			$('orderingfield').setHTML(data[2]);
    		}
    	}).request();
}

I can't modify the mod_security of apache, it is possible to modify the POST message?
It isn't urgent because by chanche I tried from another machine with IE and it worked, but not from firefox (i didn't try other browser).
