Chronoform ==> Vtiger

Hi,

I wrote a web form. It seems to work because I get a mail with all information.
My problem is that these information are not transmitted into "vtiger".
The plugin "CURL" is activated.

Does anybody knows a solution ?

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

That all looks OK - what do you see when you turn debugging on in the Plugin?

Bob

Hi GreyHead,

i see this after turn on debbugging:

CURL OK : the CURL function was found on this server.
$params: JParameter Object ( [_raw] => debugging=0 target_url=http:// header_in_response=0 onsubmit=before_email [_xml] => [_elements] => Array ( ) [_elementPath] => Array ( [0] => /var/www/vhosts/felix-systems.de/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/html/parameter/element ) [_defaultNameSpace] => _default [_registry] => Array ( [_default] => Array ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [debugging] => 1 [target_url] => http://m2m.felix-systems.com/modules/Webforms/post.php [header_in_response] => 0 [onsubmit] => before_email ) ) ) [_errors] => Array ( ) )

best regards
Joerg

Hi Joerg,

When you submit I'd expect you to see something more like the info at the end of this post.

Bob

Hi Bob,

i see the following code after submit:

CURL OK : the CURL function was found on this server.
$params: JParameter Object ( [_raw] => debugging=0 target_url=http:// header_in_response=0 onsubmit=before_email [_xml] => [_elements] => Array ( ) [_elementPath] => Array ( [0] => /var/www/vhosts/felix-systems.de/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/html/parameter/element ) [_defaultNameSpace] => _default [_registry] => Array ( [_default] => Array ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [debugging] => 1 [target_url] => http://m2m.felix-systems.com/modules/Webforms/post.php [header_in_response] => 1 [onsubmit] => before_email ) ) ) [_errors] => Array ( ) )

I can´t see any change there.

Hi Joerg,

All I see after submitting is a 404 page :-(

Bob

Hi Bob,

i turn off the redirtect url.

Now you can see the debugging informations..



I´m sorry about my english 😶

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

So that tells us that we are connecting OK but the CRM is saying that the data is invalid.

The data that is being sent is in the $curl_values line at the top.

It looks as though something important is missing?

There isn't any account name or id there to identify the CRM account. Should there be?

Bob

Hi Bob,

the account id are in the webforms.config.php in vtiger.
The original Vtigerforms works fine....

Any other idea?

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

So what is in the original vTiger forms that isn't here?
(This is now a vTiger question not a ChronoForms one).

Do you need to include 'assigned_user_id' ?

Bob

Thanks for your help

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

I would love to know if you get this working. Maybe you can post a link to other forums where you are pursuing this?

Thanks

Gert

Hi Gert,

it is not working at the moment:

look here: http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=107195#107195

Do vou have an idea?

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

no idea at present, and don't have time right now to play with it, but would love to get it working!!

Regards
Gert

It's very likely I have a solution for this. Still interested?

Combine the info at this link:
http://www.digitalbuz.com/2010/02/04/joomla-vtiger-crm-integration-using-chronoforms/

With the following information from vTiger/me:

Secure posting of form from CF CURL to vTiger needs the following:
1. Check your variable ]$application_unique_key under the vTiger CRM root directory file: config.inc.php

2. Add appKey=youruniqueapplicationhere to the CF CURL Extra field (see point 7 in the link above) on a new row

3. Activate the security by setting vTiger WebForms config file correctly:
$enableAppKeyValidation = true (this is set by default but please check...)


These infobits together form the solution you're looking for. Somehow both CF and vTiger failed to mention the need for the "appkey" when posting... many seems to just switch off this security and posting unsecure. (only found one note on this after hours searching...)

I recommend to post securely, especially if you set this in a client environment.

(PS there are issues with CF CURL posting and Arrays (One filed - multiple values) I will address this in another posting)

Hi, this link

isnt working, can someone help me as i followed everything else through, but i might be missing something about the curl setup.

thanks

Hi gavner,

it works fine.
See the Atachment.

ok cool, what does the "lead source = website" refer to?

it shows you in crm which source the contact is using

for example: from website, newsletter, mail, phone....

Hi gavner,

it works fine.
See the Atachment.

One more thing, what changes did you make to the vtiger files for example, webforms.config.php? or any other. Mine is set to

$enableAppKeyValidation = false;
$defaultUserName = 'admin';
$defaultUserAccessKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$defaultOwner = 'standarduser';
$successURL = '';
$failureURL = '';

is that right?

<?php
$enableAppKeyValidation = false;
$defaultUserName = 'admin';
$defaultUserAccessKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$defaultOwner = 'admin';
$successURL = '';
$failureURL = '';

/**
* JSON or HTML. if incase success and failure URL is NOT specified.
*/
$defaultSuccessAction = 'HTML';

$defaultSuccessMessage = 'LBL_SUCCESS';

?>

Ok, i must be missing something, no joy yet😟 are there any other vtiger files or cf settings that need updating ?

hmmm, i have no idea...

Is your vtiger 1.5?
Is CURL activatet in your form?

see attachment

Im on joomla 1.5
vtiger 5 1 0
curl is green, yes😟

Hi Akerman - I am hoping you can help me🙂 I have tried following the directions and the URL you gave plus your additional info. But the problem I'm running into is that we don't have vtiger installed on our server. We are using the online version of vtiger. This means I can't get to the config files that you mentioned to change some of the settings, etc... But surely there's still a way to get this to work?

The info I have in my CURL action on my chronoforms form is the following:

Target URL:
https://davewilliamsministries.od1.vtiger.com/modules/Webforms/capture.php

Header in Response:
No

Params/Field Maps:
firstname=vtiger_firstname
lastname=vtiger_lastname
organization=vtiger_company
phone=vtiger_phone
email=vtiger_email
street=vtiger_lane
city=vtiger_city

zip=vtiger_code
country=vtiger_country

I've gotta be close, eh???
