Change a form

I made uniform by the wizard except that now I have to add a field, how can I do?
Thank you

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

in the forms manager, select your form and click "Wizard edit" at the top right!

Cheers,

Ok thanks 😀

Where is the Wizard Edit? There is only an Edit button on the toolbar on mine, and it goes into a menu with several tabs from General, Setup Emails... Extra Form Code. Is Form Code the only way to edit the form? Because it would be helpful if there was a way to automatically edit the form without having to alter the HTML directly.

Hi Apocryphon,

For the more recent releases - the last six months or so - Yes there has been an icon for Wizard Edit in the Forms Manager Toolbar.

Ah, I see. Should I upgrade then to be able to edit the form automatically with that? If so, how can I upgrade? I'm just leery about incompatibilities that might accidentally appear with my old forms when I do.

Hi Apocryphon,

Upgrade from recent releases (I think 3.0 onwards) is fairly painless and for most of them you can install over the existing version. If you have simple forms this should be OK.

If you have an earlier version of ChronoForms, or forms that are complex or use some 'clever' PHP or some Plugins: then you may have more problems and you should test on a development site first.

The Wizard Editor ***only*** works with form html that has been created with the Wizard and has not been changed by hand since it was created.

Okay. It seems like my original forms were not created by a Wizard, or if they were the latest version of CF (3.0) does not recognize that. How should I edit my form, then? Is there any tutorial for that?

Hi Apocryphon,

You edit the form by opening the Form Code | Form HTML box and editing the form html.
