Wizard does not save form

rmesman 21 Mar, 2010
Hi,

Maybe the answer is already being written somewhere.....

I've just upgraded CF from v3.0 to V3.1RC5.5. I've backup all forms before and restored them. I also upgraded SQL. After some small changes in the style-sheet and re-connecting with the profile-plugin again everything works fine. So far so good.

When I use the (new) wizard it does not save the form-code. The e-mail settings are saved. I can go into the form being saved after using the wizard, but the form-code is 'blank'.
I did made some forms with the wizard in V3.0 but they aren't recognised by the wizard in V3.1RC5.5. This means I have to make/change all forms by hand again.

Anyone knows how to solve this?

BTW: I use J1.5.15

Thanks, Robin

Some xtra info:

- When I just manualy edit a form and save it, this works.
- There is a basicDemo form: I can open this with the Wizard Edit but I can not make any changes to the existing fields; I can add a new field but then the save-function does not work, even if I change the name of the form. Is this demo-form locked in a way?

Are there some JS files involved in the wizard that may conflict?

Hi Robin,

Hard to diagnose but typically this is a JavaScript problem, it doesn't happen often and on the odd occasion when it's been pinned down it has been a JavaScript conflict with some other admin tool.

There are also problems with saving some forms with PHP in the Form HTML (we have a workaround for that if you have that problem).

If you have back-up copies of the forms they 'should' restore into the later version. If there is a problem then you can copy and paste the main parts of the code into the Form HTML tab baoxes pretty quickly.

Thanks Bob,
The restore of the old forms went well, althouhg the ones made with an older wizard cannot be changed with the wizard edit. I wanted to make some new ones with wizard, but this part doesn't work. I did made them manually for now, and they do work ok, so that is fine for now.

I will try to locate which js-files are being loaded in the admin part.
I use:
-CB (latest)
-UddeIM (latest)
-Mighty Memebership (latest)
-AceSEF (latest)
-AcyMailing (latest)
-Akeeba Backup (latest)
-Chrono Connectivity (not latest)
-Extplorer (not latest)
-JCE (not latest)

Maybe the Connectivity and/or JCE? I will test this week and get back later.

Hi Robin,

It shouldn't be ChronoConnectivity and probably not JCE :-( I've run CB and Extplorer without any problems -- I don't know the others. It tends to be little utilities that load on every admin page that cause this rather than full extensions.

As a workaround create a test Joomla site, use the Wizard on that then back-up and restore the forms to your live site. Not ideal but probably practical for the occasional new form.
