Registration issues

Hi,

I created form using chrono forms for the purposes of joomla registration following the detailed instructions found on this site. A few issues arised on submission of the form.

Firstly,
When you fill in the form incorrectly, e.g. (passwords do not match or wrong image verification code) the information that was input on the form gets reset and you have to retype all your details in again, this can become very tedious.

Secondly,
I setup emails to be sent when the form is submitted, but the email only gets sent to the admin (which is me) but the registrant doesnt receive an email.

Thirdly,
A user doesnt get created on the joomla backend, the instructions were followed down to the T.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, here's a copy of the form code.

Hi bolo,

1) On the Form General Tab set "Republish fields if error occured" to 'Try to Republish"

2) What do you have in the Email Setup to send to the Registrant? (Also see 3)

3) Well, either the instructions are wrong or you missed a step. Looking at this with 2 It's my guess that the Joomla Registration Plugin isn't enabled in the Form Plugins tab. The bar should be green and show an 'x' icon if it is enabled.

Hi Greyhead, thanks for the quick response.

all issues have been resolved, i did infact miss the step of enabling the joomla registration plugin, my sincerest of aplogies.

Hi bolo,

No problem - I do it a few times every week :-)
