Hello,

Background
I have a manually installed the latest version of Joomla on a server with a company called Smartyhost.com.au. I had to manually change the permissions to be writable for Joomla (to allow upload of plugins like Chronoform) as they were automatically set to un-writable by the hosting company.

I have also had to insert this line of code into the folder.php to be able to upload plugins:
if ($test=='VIRTUAL_DOCUMENT_ROOT') { $test = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; } // MOD HERE!!

Issue
I have a form in chronoforms on the site which I have enabled and set to 'yes' yet the form still remains disabled in the forms manager. I just wondered if it's an issue with congfig.php or something to do with the hosting company. What needs to be changed for this to work please.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Neil.

Hi Neil,

Is this a IIS server? They do seem to be a bit more touchy.

I can think of no reason why the server should affect Publishing a form though. As far as I remember the code is a very standard update to a database table.

Hello Bob,

Thank you for your reply. It was actually my fault CF wasn't working.

I created the form in Form Wizard. When I reached Step 2, I had filled out all of the correct details such as to email address, name, subject, from email and address. The box turned green and I thought that was it - next step.

But it wasn't - what I needed to do was actually click on the now green highlighted box so that the Email Properties tab displayed the options (as these were not visible until I clicked the now green box).

I'd just like to say thank you for answering this post and another post I put up ages ago I never thanked you for. Your info helped me out last time when I was trying to install CF and I had to create a php.ini file with more memory.

Kind regards,
Neil.
