Again : validation from wizard form does not work

robdriessen 03 Dec, 2009
Very excited by all the good reviews I read from the internet I installed Chronoforms on my site.
But... validation on a form created with the form-wizard doesn't work.
Validation is not enabled under the validation-tab
Load Chronoform JS is ON
What am I doing wrong ?
I've read a lot of posts on this forum about this problem, but none of them seems to help.

Also the 'thank you'message doesn't show up, except in debug-mode.

Hi,
It appears your system loads two different versions of mootools (1.11 and 1.1), most likely due to your template's menu layout (at_menu according to the source path). This will usually cause some issues with various scripts depending on mootools.

If you load the form without the template (add &tmpl=component to the URI), you'll see that the second mootools (the 1.1) is not loaded, and that the LiveValidations now works fine. Short story, there's an incompability with your template and chronoforms.

See if there's any option to not load mootools in your template setup.

Hi Fredrik,

first of all, thanks for your quick reply.
It was possible to turn off the mootools loading in the template, and the validation worked, but ofcourse, then some functionality of the template didn't work.
I tried CKForms instead, and this does the job just as well, and I didn't have to turn off mootools loading.

So, Chrono-engine is a great tool, but not for me, this time.

Hi Rob,

Great, but Chronoforms is using the Joomla standard mootools version, if you are going to use more and more extensions which may use the same Joomla standard mootools 1.11 then you may have this problem again, try to pick your templates carefully or ask the template designers to use the correct mootools version, its a very easy task to make their code work for 1.11
