Can't add placeholder item to form

Hi,

I created a "Wizard Custom Element" but I cannot drag the placeholder to my form in the Form Wizard. I used the example to add the editor that Max provided in another post.

Any idea why I cannot drop it into my form?

Thanks.

Hi kpaskert,

I just created a new element and got the same result. Going back and adding a parameter and value to the element using the box at the bottom seemed to let me drag and drop it it OK. (I'm not sure what the parameter does though.)

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the quick response. I added a parameter of "NULL" and left the default value blank and it works fine.

Thanks again,

Kurt

It looks like it's a problem with the browser.

I can't drag and drop the custom elements using Firefox v3.0.11, but it works fine using Internet Explorer v7.0.6000

No need to add parameters to the custom elements 🙂

Having a look into the error console of Firefox shows me the following error, after I did try to drag and drop an element:

Fehler: [Exception... "String contains an invalid character"  code: "5" nsresult: "0x80530005 (NS_ERROR_DOM_INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR)"  location: "http://[my URL]/media/system/js/mootools.js Line: 38"]

Hi pat01,

I just checked with ChronoForms RC5.3 in FireFox 3.5 and this works OK for me and should also be OK in FF 3.0 (as Max was developing it with that version).

Please try clearing your browser cache in case there is some old code around.

Bob

Hi Bob

I did clear the cache, but still no luck. I use Firefox 3.0.11 on Windows Vista and CF RC5.3.

I'll install FF3.5 and see what happens...

Edit: No luck with FF3.5 Either... 😟

Hi Patrick,

If it's OK with you and the form is on-line, please PM or Email me a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a look.

Hi Bob

Thank you very much for your great support!
Yes, it is OK of course, but I have the installation at an offline development enviroment at the present. Once it's online, I'll pm you the necessary data.

Bob did have a look at it and he figured out the problem.
It seems to be a bug. But there is a workaround:

If you enter something e.g.'null' in the 'Insert New Parameter' box at the bottom, then click the 'Insert New Parameter' button and save the Custom Element then it will drag and drop OK. You don't need to use the parameter in the element, or set a default value, just create it.

Thank you very much Bob!
