Hi

used chronoforms many times before but suddenly I am unable to drag email elements from the toolbox to build the email.

I drag the elements into the email box but no test box appears to enter the detail. (see attached image)

I have tried this in various browsers but no luck. Any ideas?

thanks

Hi brocars,

You probably have the MooTools Upgrade Plugin enabled. This is an optional plug-in that enables the MooTools 1.2 library on your site.

ChronoForms (and many other Joomla! extensions) use the MooTools 1.1.2 library that is installed by default. The ChronoForms Wizard, and other back-end code will not run with the plugin enabled.

If you disable the plug-in then ChronoForms should run correctly.

If you need MooTools 1.2 in the front-end of your site then there is a hack for the plug-in posted in the forums here that will enable the 1.2 library in the front-end only. However the ChronoForms validation code and some other features will not work with this version.

There's a fuller "How-to Document" here that includes fixed files that will let the front-end of ChronoForms work with MooTools 1.2.

Switching off the Mootools Plugin has solved the problem.

If I disable the plugin to build the form and then enable it again, will the form actually work (albeit with the validation not working)?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Mostly I think. Validation, republishing, maybe a few other odds and ends are JavaScript dependent. Other things on your page may break if there are JavScript erros thrown up by the form.
