I recently installed ChronoForms and ChronoConnectivity on my Joomla website and have been going through the tutorials and forums to try to set up a very simple display. I have a MySQL table called Newsletters that contains the file name (FileName) of the newsletter and the title (Title), for example newsTDW2009Q1Spring.pdf and 'Spring 2009 TDW Newsletter'. This information is displayed in the backend when I click on "Show Data", but is missing when I click the Link (index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&connectionname=TDWNewsletters). I left the Header block empty, and just have {pagination} in the Footer block, which appears to work fine. The Body contains the following:
{FileName} - {Title}
According to the tutorial, this is all I need to show a list of the file names and titles for my newsletters. Under "FrontEnd Settings"/"FrontEnd Groups Permissions", I selected everybody under "View user Groups". Everything else is pretty much default settings. I don't want to be able to add/edit/delete information, just show a list of the file names and titles to the public. If I can ever get the display to work, I'll change the body to just display titles and have them linked to the file name, so that clicking on a title displays the newsletter. But first, I have to get something in the Body to display. I even tried just putting words, no variables or field names, in the Body, which should have just repeated the words over and over again. No luck. Does anybody know what newbie mistake I'm making? I've been at this for days and am at the end of my rope.
