getting cronoform working

Hi.

I created a form with a submit button and have it saving to a table that i made.
im using crono connectivity to read from the table but nothing shows up on the connectivity page.
im using a url to go to where connectivity leads.
for the form i dont have an action url, does anyone know if thats my problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ianshirm,

Does the form save the data to your table?

NB: the first few inputs all have name='subject' so they will not work correctly, only the value of the last input will be saved.

ChronoForms creates an Action URL so that shouldn't be a problem (you can check by looking at the page source for the form).

I can't tell what the ChronoConnectivity problem is from the info that you have posted. The first thing to check is that there are records saved that can be displayed.

Bob

how would i check to see if the form is saving it to the table?

Hi ianshirm,

Check with PHPMyAdmin, or the Joomla! EasySQL extension, or the ChronoForms Tables Manager, or just click the Table name link in the ChronoForms Forms Manager.

Bob

I edited the table and its saving now, but not reading..

Hi ianshirm ,

What is in the Body box of your ChronoConnectivity listing?

Bob

btw i also fixed the field names..

the body box is blank.

Hi ianshirm,

If the body box is blank then it's probably showing what you have specified. Try putting {uid} in there - or using one of the column names from your table.

There are some ChronoConnectivity tutorials here that may be helpful.
