Hi,
First off, your extension rocks!
I am making a form as an application form, users put in some information, it gets sent back to me on my email and then using those informations i contact them further.
Now for some technical issues i ran into:
- i cant seem to get the form to appear in article, i have installed the plugin, enabled it, made the form, published it, inputter the {chronocontact}prijava_plan_osobnog{/chronocontact} command in article body, but all i get on the article display is "There is no form with this name" (as you can see on this link on the bottom of the article --> http://www.koenigsavjetovanje.hr/hr/nasi-programi/plan-osobnog-razvoja-karijere.html)
- i have a field with desirable date for which i used the "date/time picker" in wizard, but on the actual form i dont get the calendar to show? (as seen on the actual form --> http://www.koenigsavjetovanje.hr/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=prijava_plan_osobnog)
- is there a way to make the form url a bit more search engine friendly?
- i have checked the validation checkboxes in wizard for most fields, but when i fill out the form inccorectly there is no error message (i.e. "you havent filled the email field" or "you havent filled the name field")
- and last and least important --> how do i put the "send me a copy of email" checkbox, so the applicatn gets a copy of the mail i recieve (but only by choice)
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi JohhnyV,
1) I don't know. It could be a side effect of Joomfish - try going to the direct article link.
2) Your template is loading jQuery and it looks as though it is blocking MooTools. ChronoForms requires the standard MooTools library to be loaded.
3) I think that ChronoForms works OK with standard Joomla! SEF URLs.
4) There's been a recent thread on that toic if I remember correctly. Basically use the OnSubmit code box to check if the box is ticked and, if it is set the user's email into a Dynamic To element in the Email Setup.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Ok so for the calendar I have turned to the guys that created the template i am using as you say it is a jquery - mootools conslict issue.
- I still cant get the hover hint when I go over the (i) icon with my cursor
- I still cant get the form to indicate if some fields arent filled in (even though i have set the "required" option in the wizard). And stop the sending. It sends the form even though it is empty.
- and I cant seem to get the captcha to show.
- i asked about url friendliness because i get url for my form like this http://www.koenigsavjetovanje.hr/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=prijavnica_planORK, when all my other links are much more straightforward and simpler.
- regarding "Basically use the OnSubmit code box to check if the box is ticked and, if it is set the user's email into a Dynamic To element in the Email Setup.". I am ashamed to say i dont understand what you are saying here, I did find the Onsubmit code box, but dont know what i must put in it to get the "send me a copy of message" checkbox (basicly I want them to be able to choose as it is in the native joomla contact form).
- also, one more noob question. In the email setup, TO is the mail i want the filled out form to come, and if i made dynamic from (linked to the email field in the form) it will show from which email was filled in the form?
I know these must be stupid issues, but please bear with me as i am a total newcomer to joomla and website building in general.
Thank you very much in advance and best regards.

Hi JV,
The validation and tooltip issues are the same JavaScript problem as the datepicker.
I thought that the ImageVerification image was showing OK in the previous version of the form? The image seems to be completely missing now.
I'm not sure of the answer about URLs, if you search here on SEF URLs you may find more useful info.
To make the copy of the email a user option does require writing some PHP code. You may need to find someone to do that for you. It's not terribly difficult but it's not a beginner's task either.
I strongly recommend that you do *not* use the Dynamic From Email element in your Email Setups. Using this often results in your emails being marked as spam and dropped into a spam filter. Instead use the static From Email with an address that matches the site domain name and use Dynamic ReplyTo Email for the user email. The result is the same but with a much better chance of good delivery.

managed to solve everything..it was indeed a conflict..reloaded all the libraries and configured them as they should have been and now everything is working like a charm.
Still to find out how to generate a simpler url for the forms.
Thank you for your support.

Hi,
Your site looks nice. Could you please let me know what template you used?"

Hi,
I used a template from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.joomlabamboo.com">www.joomlabamboo.com</a><!-- w --> called Rasa. Mine is a slightly tweeked version. From what I have seen, they offer one of the best supports in the template market. 3 months membershig for 40$ buys you all the support you need, access to all of their great looking extensions and 1 template to be used on your site for as long as you want.
Hope it helped.
