Form Wizard does not work

Hi got a copy of the recipe book and am trying understand Chronoforms before I use it on my web site. I have a trial site where I have been able to create forms using the wizard. But when I try to use the wizard on my site it does not work. When I grab any field to place it into the working area it just places the name but not the field. I tried to search the forums to see if others have reported similar problems but have not been able to find it. The problem is very simple, I cannont use the wizard to create a form. If I write the html code and try to set up the email part, it does not work either. Is Chrono forms conflicting the other extension?

Hi manicho,

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.

Thanks, that was the problem. I needed the MooTools Upgrade Plugin for another extension but I can figure out how to work around it.
