I did the first step choosing boxes, now im stuck at the email setup, dont know what to choose/do.

Please help me out

Now I see this error:
Your Chronoforms install at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domainname.net">www.domainname.net</a><!-- w --> is NOT Validated, No limited features but for a small fee you get link free forms and help us continue the development and support

Hi curioustoknow,

Post 1- please check the Email tutorial from the Tutorials link above.

Post 2 - not a bug, if you haven't subscribed it's a reminder, if you have then you need to validate your installation. There should have been instructions in the email.

What happened to the old chrono form? it used to be free

Hi Curioustoknow,

It still is free. You just need a subscription to use it without the strap-line. It's been that way since I've been here. What's changed is that there's now a reminder in the admin and a formal process for validating that you've paid.

I ve never seen that error on previous version. what is up with the subscibtion now?

Hi Curioustoknow,

There is no error - just a reminder message. For more info please see the Subscriptions page.

From Email:

Hi curioustoknow,

Impossible to say without seeing an email or the actual Email Setup.

PS Best not to test with hotmail.

Hi CuriousTo Know,

That 'From Email' field is static, not dynamic so it will never have a valid email address in it. I'm surprised that your emails got as far as the hotmail spam folder.

YOu must ensure that there is a valid email address there and probably one with the same domain at your site.

Bob

oh im ao sorry, this form works well, I confused it with another application im using, the way i have setup go straight to my inbox and not junk! I apologize😟

Hi curioustoknow,

The 'From Email' box **only takes a valid email address**, you may not use a filed name there.

If you want to use a field name you must use a 'Dynamic From Email' box.

Hi,

I have just installed this latest version of chronoforms, and beside the red colour warning on component administration, I also cant access my form in frontend. I suppose this got something to do with subscriptions/validation.

This extensions is no more free? Does it need some payment now to use it? (or paied subscription)

Hi webrp,

No, the validation/subscription will change the colour of the message you see but has *no* effect on the visibility of your form (or at least shouldn't have).

What message do you see in the front-end? Or is it a blank page? Does the Demo form display?

Bob

Ok, I understand now. Theres something going wrong with my configurations.
I am gonna double check it, and come back to a new post if I need.

Thank you.

This was my problem: the form name or title contained a space

-When editing form in wizard mode you can save title with spaces
-The first time I edited form (out of wizard) and attempted saving I received the error message about the title space

I changed title and its working now.

Hi webrp.

Yes, that would do it :-(

With all variable names and form names best to stick with the convention: [a-z][A-Z][0-9] and underscore only, no dashes, spaces or other special characters and always start with a letter.
