(Dutch) help wanted for making content

Hi I'm new and try to make a form to create content. The start (from the example) is ok and the normal fields I find back in the content and the d-base. I'm having trouble with the validation of the select boxes. Example: I have a selection of red, blue and green (sections). In the d-base the sections are having numbers. How do I make the connection of the sections with these numbers.

For the Dutch members: "Is er iemand die mij hiermee een beetje op gang kan helpen?

Hi casperb71,

If you are trying to use ChronoForms to create Joomla articles then you should take a look at the submit content form from the Downloads area here.

The usual way of linking select-boxes to numbers is to set the values of the options to the numbers.

Thanks for your answer and I think I understand it not enough. I made a testform on http://www.bedrijfsopvangteam.nl/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=58
I validated the select box "section" and select box "category". I named the fields correct like the d-base required. I made a Table and made the selections green.

When I fill in the form, there is content with a title, fulltekst and thats it.
No section, no category and the article is disabled.

Hi casperb71,

The values of the Options for Section and Category probably need to match the IDs that Joomla is using.

You may find it useful to get someone who knows more about how Joomla works to help you with this.

Hi GreyHead. Tnx for the answer but my knowledge of Joomla is sufficient.
It is not clear why Chronoforms only takeover in the D-base the normal text fields and not the boxes. I think it has to di with the configuration from the boxes in Chronoform. So I ask again how to configure the boxes value? With regards. ps is it not possible to upload a file in these Forum?

When I create the table and after make the selections green, there is the following message:

Error while creating table :Table 'jos_content' already exists SQL=CREATE TABLE `jos_content` (`cf_id` INT(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `uid` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `recordtime` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `ipaddress` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `cf_user_id` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `title` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `fulltext` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `sectionid` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `catid` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`cf_id`)) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

I think that hasse to do with the valuation problem I have.

Could anyone please help me?

Hi casperb71,

The message "Error while creating table :Table 'jos_content' already exists" is correct. 'jos_content' is a core Joomla table and you shouldn't be trying to mess with it :-( You may severely damage your site if you over-write or alter the Joomla core tables.
