Hello,

This is the first time that i am using ChronoForms and i am trying to figure out how to create my own registration form.

I have created a form exactly as the tutorial shows but it is impossible to save data on the database! Although in the email the fields are coming correct.

Hi PascM,

Are you using the Joomla Registration Plugin? That is designed to make this task easier.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Yes i am and i have placed the correct "field names" on the configuration of this plugin.

Hi PascM,

Thanks, what data are you trying to save into which database table?

Bob

I am trying to save (for start) exactly what the joomla registration form saves.

Hi PascM,

That's all saved in the jos_users table in the registration process.

Where else are you trying to save it (and why?)

Bob

With this form i am not trying to save anything else!

The problem is that this data is not saved as it supposed to happen😟 in the jos_users table.

When i manage to do this to work i want to save some extra fields on a new ? table ( i don't mind if it's on the same).

But i don't know how to do this. 😟

Any ideas what i might be missing and the data is not going into the database ?

Hi PascM,

I'm finding it very difficult to understand exactly what the problem is.

If there are no entries in jos_users then the users can't be being registered - but you don't mention that.

I think that probably the plugin isn't enabled on the Form Plugins tab.

Bob

PS Please see the Database tutorial for info on saving other data to a database table.

Hi Bob,

I have seen the tutorial (you mean if i sync the form with joomla plugin correct?)

Please see the attachment

Hi PascM,

I'm sorry but I have no idea what this means

you mean if i sync the form with joomla plugin correct?

You need to open the form in the ChronoForms Form Editor, go to the Plugins tab and enable the plugin there. When it is enabled you will see a green bar.

Bob

I finally found out what I was doing wrong!

That green bar you are saying confused me because i was watching a green (enable.png) and i though that the plugin was enabled!

THANK You very much for your help!

Best regards
Manos


Edit Now it's time to add a new table so i can add the extra fields i want to save ! can you point me the tutorial to follow ?
