OK, so I set up a Chronoform to use for Joomla registrations. When I checked the database, the test users I created through my Chronoform show the passwords and they are not encrypted...
What should I do about this issue? Can I insert code within form manager to encrypt before sending and if so, where would I find this code? - I see that when users register using Joomla, passwords are encrypted within database.
Hi cicibar ,
Are you using the Joomla! Registration plug-in?
If so, what settings do you have for the password fields?
Bob
Thanks for your help, Bob.
OK, I believe you're speaking of the Joomla registration plug in left sidebar within forms management, yes?
I followed the tutorial and I believe that's how set jp plug in... didn't see many options... am I missing a plug in?

Hi Cindy,
Yes, that's it. There are a couple of password field names on the Field Names tab and a Create password setting on the Configuration tab. But none of these would normally permit a plaintgext password to be saved.
Do you by any chance have a DB Connection set to the jos_users table?
Bob
"...password field names on the Field Names tab...":
I set the field names to be the same as within the form (so name_1, user_2, email_3, password_4, etc...; then within config tab, I am not sure... I set the "create password" config to "No" since I'd like the user to create their own password and know what it is.
I do have a DB_connection, but I used the tutorial, created a table for my form name - registration - and then set the DB connection to that form, not jom users....
should I not include the password fields in my DB connection?

Hi Cindy,
That all sounds fine :-(
By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.
Bob
Hi Cindy,
I see what is happening. The simple answer is simply not to have the password columns in the table. You don't need to re-save this info (or the name or email, etc.) The cf_user_id will let you look this info up in the Joomla! User Object when you need it.
Bob
PS The {ReCaptcha} problem was caused by the order of the plug-ins. I've moved the ReCaptch plug-in ahead of the Joomla! Registration plug-in and now all is well.
PPS I notice that one of your test forms has a dash in the name - that should be avoided - use an underscore instead.
Super! thank you very much. So much to learn. May I ask what is the Joomla! User Object?
I have looked into database with PHPMyAdmin, and using the cf_id, found the member info, but how to use J. user object?
I appreciate your assistance.

Sorry, Bob,
Still not getting the ReCaptcha to refresh if user doesn't fill in form data correctly and needs to fix a field.
May I ask, what is the name of the ReCaptcha plug-in? Anything else other than plug-in I can check to see if that would correct issue?

Hi Cindy,
I can no longer see any of the forms I looked at yesterday so hard to check. I'm pretty certain that the one I edited was re-loading OK.
The ReCaptcha plug-in is called ReCaptcha Verification.
Bob
I created a new form, but previously my test using the form set up for Joomla registration was still having issues with the ReCaptcha code not displaying new words - just "{ReCaptcha}" code - this would happen not when I refreshed the page, but when I inserted incorrect words within the recaptcha field and got the error message to try again.
Also, I had instances where the form was filled in correctly and submitted successfully (I could see user info within Joomla user listing and within the DB), but the webpage itself didn't refresh - info within form fields remain as was submittted and the message that should appear after successful form submittal was at the bottom of the form - I do have "New Instance" set with form manager. So signee would not have known their submission actually processed. (This too is happening on occasion with the forms I have set up for the design packages, but not typically).
How do I check and/or change the order of the plug-ins - is this the issue? Should I reinstall Chronoforms? Best place for an online manual?
_Cindy
Sorry for the long entry previously, but still having issues -- had to create a sign-in form that worked for testing, so one without Joomla registration or REcaptcha.
web page sometimes doesn't refresh the fields (even with new instance turned on) after successful completion of form submittal.
additionally, ReCaptcha will refresh with a web page refresh or if user clicks within the recaptcha refresh for a new set a words, but not when the user has input wrong recaptcha words and tried to submit form.
How can I check order of plug-ins and change if needed? Any other suggestions?
