Joomla registration form returns 404

Hi all,
Firstly I am sorry if the topic is already on the forum, I have done my best to go through most of the topics to find a solution before I decided to post a new one.

I am new to chrono forms (using the latest version) and a moderate user of Joomla. I have created a Joomla registration form by following the exact instructions in the tutorial files. Also created a DB and connected the form.

It just simply doesnt want to work and keeps returning 404 (Not Found The requested URL /component/user/register.html was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request).

I need this working ASAP and this is the only thing holding up the entire website.

Any HELP is very much appreciated

Hi rizwan,

This looks like a problem with youe SEF URL settings, please turn them off temporarily and re-try.

/component/user/register.html doesn't exist - it probably should be index.php?option=com_user&view=register (or something along those lines).

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your reply, I have found that disabling the SEF does actually make the link to actually work. However it points to the original Joomla registration form and not the Chrono form I created. How do I get that happening and also I would love to use SEF option and have it enabled, so how do I get around it.

Thank you for your very much appreciated help!!

Hi rizwan,

Sorry, I don't know much about SEF URLs. I'd probably use SH404SEF to set up a custom link. Or add a redirect to the Joomla Registration form.

Bob

Hi Bob,
I would love to be able to redirect the from if that allows me to use the SEF option and be able to use the chrono joomla registrations form. I have looked around, inspected the redirection option in CF and tried different things to see if it works.

However, I am an amateur and cant understand everything well, is there a document/instruction I can follow that will guide me through the process, will be fantastic.

Basically from what I understand I need doing, but don't know how is
- I need to ask joomla to look for the CF registration form to handle user registrations
- Ask CF to handle the request and store the information in the table I created in the db
- Further I would love to create forms to change user information, handle forgotten username/pass and so on...

Really grateful for you help

Here is my friends website with a fully functional Joomla Registration form (http://zubiasthreading.com.au/site/register2.html) , that he got developed by someone else (hence he is not able to solve my joomla registration form mystery).

I have inspected to code/connection behind this form and it looks like this

I have then done my best to inspect most of the php file on the same website (http://zubiasthreading.com.au/site) to see if I could locate this code on the server but no luck.

I have seen the most of the suggestions made in re: is to change /public_html/site/modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php to reflect the db link of CF. So I checked this file on the server of website (http://zubiasthreading.com.au/site), and yet again nothing different found here [attachment=0]joomla registration2.jpg[/attachment]


I am now really desperate and very frustrated, I know I have everything in place I just need to locate the file with the db link and make necessary changes.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GUIDE ME WITH THIS FINAL HURDLE!!! and please consider me as an amateur and give your advice in detail.

Your HELP very much appreciated thank you!

Hi rizwan,

are you trying to force anybody tries to open the Joomla registration form at your website to get redirected to the Chronoforms registration form ? if yes then you may install and enable this Joomla plugin:

Hi Bob and Max,
We have a good news and a bad news

Good news- 🤣
Looks like we are getting somewhere, I was previously working on ChronoForms_V3.1_RC5.3 now I have uninstall it and installed ChronoForms_V3.1_RC4.11 re did the form following again the tutorial pdfs' and bang when I click the form link from CF it shows my form. GREAT SUCCESS!!! 😀 😀 😀

😑 image verification is not showing any image or a textbox, just the field title🤨 🤨



Bad news- 😢 😢 😢
- I still cant get to the CF form from my website via create an account.
- Registration completely doesnt work with SEF option on (I really want this option for understandable reasons)
- I have tried to install the redirect plugin and it doesnt allow me (if at all now this is still needed🤨 )

I have tried to install this plugin and it doesnt let me it gives me the following error
[attachment=1]plugin installation error.jpg[/attachment]

I have manually copied the chronoregredirect.php to the site directory but it still doesnt work. Is there a way to get around this error and get this installed?

Here is also another thing I spotted, is the following the actual plugin I am trying to install? If yes then have read in detail and looks like it is designed to redirect once the form is filled and my problem is first of all to get to the form.

I dont know why its not working when I have made sure I have done everything right according to the tutorial? 🤨 But I am very much willing to give it little more effort to make it work before I give up 😟

Hi rizwan,

Hmm . . . downgrading from RC5.3 to 4.1 is a bad move :-( it may have resolved one problem but it will cause you som others. In particular, there have been some improvements to the Joomal Registration Plugin.

I don't remember seeing the ChronoReDirect Joomla plugin before so can't comment on that - I'll maybe take a look later.

Bob

Hi Rizwan,

the plugin I pointed to should solve your issues, and please use the latest release, the error you get in installation is because of some permissions problem! not related to the plugin..

Regards,
Max

Thanks guys you have been a great help I found out that I have not updated the default.php as it shows in the instruction and hence all this drama. I feel very bad to have wasted everyones time.

But you always learn from your mistake and you can be sure I have from this instance.

Thanks again

Hi, I am new to Joomla and community Builder. I am trying to create an extended registration form with Chronoforms and use CB to be able to moderate the registration(allow users to access the site only after admin approves it). I already created a form with Chronoforms and installed CB. I followed all the steps in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOlpZQOrZ64&feature=related.

In the video it says that we need to activate the CBlogin, CB online and CB workflows modules by going Extension>Module manager>and clicking CBlogin, for example and select a position. The problem is that in extension there is no such thing as CBlogin so I cannot change the position nor I can see anything in my site. I have been trying to find this module and the only place where I can activate it is by going extension>Extension manager>manage BUT it doesn't allow me to open the component to select the position... What am I doing wrong?

Ultimately I will try to follow this steps to create a multipage registration with this two programs:http://back2dlab.com/tutorial/creating-multi-page-forms-for-community-builder-joomla-registration

I am using joomla 1.7, Chronoforms V.4 and the latest version of CB

Hi dasp16,

I'm afriad that I don't know much about Community Builder. You may need to ask questions about CB Installation in the Joomlapolis forums.

The Multi-Page tutorial is excellent, but it is for ChronoForms v3. There is no similar action for ChronoForms v4 yet.
