Chronoforms & Almond Classified for J1.5

Hi i have a website with the Almond classified system for Joomla, Now my question is how can i create a form the creates new entries for my Almond Classified system.
I dont want to use their method to add ads due to the fact it doesnt take payment with Autherize.net.
I have used ChronoForms for all my sites that require forms and figure i just need to make some adjustments to my form to fill in the proper database table for this.

just a quick structure of form
part 1
Client Info (if registered user logged in would auto populate)

part 2
Ad Info
extra lines

Part 3
additional upgrades (color to bg for print version of ad)

part 4
Credit Card info for processing

part 5
Show Total price and number of weeks to run ad as well as submit button


here is a link to what i have so far

(just a warning this is a gay men's magazine website)

main issue is getting content for ad in proper DB Table
getting JS to do cart update on multiple insertions
splitting form into multiple pages (seen many posts on topic looking into them more I know i have the most recent version but don't see the plugin for multipage)


any help in the right direction would be much appreciated
we will gladly pay for the time if need be.
any other info needed i can gladly supply

cheers!

Hi hotryan,

A bunch of questions here, a few quick answers:

a) You can get info about logged in users here by searching on 'getuser'

b) You will need a little extra code to save to the Almond tables - but what this is depends on the Almond table structure - do you know what they use?

c) The multi-page plugin is on the left hand column of the Forms Manager (or should be). But I'd leave the form as a single page until you have it all working and then decide if you need to break it down into chunks.

d) The JavaScript you need is fairly simple - there are some examples here if you search on calculations. Or try Googling something similar.

e) You may find that you need extra security certification for your site if you capture Credit Card info; usually it's better to leave that to the payment geateway if you can.
