not able to cope with new chronoforms

Beata 01 Nov, 2009
I had your old Chronoforms component in other my website and managed it easy. In old version I could paste my form html codes and it worked

Now I have created a form with your wizard succesfully, it appears on the website
http://www.anre.lt/index.php/en/usakyti-kambar-3
I tried to fill in but it doesn't work. After submiting I get this:

"There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management "

I have read other threads, it was written about form naming and thought maybe my isn't ok with Lithuanian characters.
So I renamed it from Užsakymas3 to uzsakymas. Did links from my mainmenu - It don't appear at all. Than I have renamed like previuos to show you

Could you help me?

Hi beata,

ChronoForms creates a URL using the form name so you can only use characters that are allowed in URLs. option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=Užsakymas3&Itemid=61 is not a legitimate URL query string.

The only characters you should use in a form name are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and underscore '_', no spaces, dashes or other special characters.

Renaming the form to uzsakymas should work OK. But check the link from the Forms Mananer to make sure that the form submits OK.

I tried to fill my form and this time I got this:
1. You have entered an incorrect verification code at the bottom of the form.

What I should do else?
I checked "Use Image verification:" but it didn't appeared in the form....

Hi Beata,

You also need to include {imageverification} in the Form HTML to show the image and check field.

Yes, I got it, - thanks.
I am looking for email now....
and I will try to do these forms in 4 languages

Hi Beata,

The Multi_language plugin may be useful.

Hi Bob,

1.Should I install it? which module. How to do translation?

2. I have still a problem: I don't get some email and notification from my submitted form yet. Any sugestions?😟 😟
I did everything like in basic form...

I have read FAQ: Second: "In the ChronoForms Form Manager | General tab set 'Debug' to ON (and in the Anti_Spam tab set ImageVerification 'OFF') and save. Open your form in a second browser window and complete some of the fields as a trial. When you submit the form you should now see some debug information, a dummy e-mail, and a message telling you if the e-mail was sent or not."

I got such :
Form passed first SPAM check OK
Form passed the submissions limit (if enabled) OK
Form passed the Image verification (if enabled) OK
Form passed the server side validation (if enabled) OK
$_POST Array: Array ( [text_0] => a [text_1] => m [text_15] => [text_2] => [text_12] => [date_6] => 02/11/2009 [date_8] => 03/11/2009 [text_9] => 1 [text_10] => [text_23] => email [button_20] => Užsakyti [8f8d80a1b4d31a3982dffa5fba4e13de] => 1 [1cf1] => 533773b7760fe7b5a9f8fb6bfdcf71fd [chronoformname] => uzsakymas )
$_FILES Array: Array ( )
Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
Debug End


P.S. I can send email from my website - verified

Hi Beata,

It looks as though you don't have the emails enabled. Please check the Emails tutorial from the Tutorials tab above.

Hello,

I did enabled acording tutorial, thank you.
I got email

The question 1: I tried to write 2 emails with coma in section To:
but I din't get email to second email

Than I tried to add CC below, - but this didn't keep after APPLY

The question 2:
When I created form it seems I did required for email text, but my form was sent without filling email, this isn't ok
What I can do now, how to improve - java scripts? How?
GreyHead 02 Nov, 2009
Hi Beata,

You should be able to put two email addresses in the To field, [email]user1@example.com[/email],user2@example.com

And CC should save OK - did you add an email address?

Bob

PS CC & BCC do not work with the PHP Mail Function as your site mailer.
Beata 02 Nov, 2009
Yes, I did
CC worked now
Thank you

What about my second question
How to improve my form to not alow to send without filling email? Maybe I didn't required ?


P.S. I looked to HTML and added under email this:
I found date time required and added to email box this:

<div class="form_item">
<div class="form_element cf_textbox">
<label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">El.paštas</label>
<input class="cf_textbox required" title="" size="20" id="2" name="text_2" type="text" />

</div>

is it possible to do improvements in other way?

P.S.2 IT WORKS !!!!

Hi,

How to improve my form to not allow to send without filling email?



you do this by setting your email field as required, nothing to change in the email template field!
