Hi someone,

I manage the site <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.totalukfinance.com">www.totalukfinance.com</a><!-- w -->.
THere is a form and it was fine before. I was just looking throught and only yesterday I noticed the text allignments in the form are set to right and it look awkard. Have a look towards the bottom of this form.

I tried my best to solve it but i could not.
Can anyone help please.
Thank you

Hi Pragati,

Your template CSS sets table tags to text_align:right

label
{
width: 270px;
float: left;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 1em;
display: block;
padding-top:2px;
}

hi bob,
Hope you had a great festive season.
I still have not be able to sort out the previous problems.
I got new problem now.
I installed the chronoform into a different website that i am designing <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.investomind.com/lifeskill">www.investomind.com/lifeskill</a><!-- w -->
When i use the form wizard and use the drag and drop text, buttons etc. it does not drop in the box. I can drag it but it stays where i drop it in a background but can't write in it edit it.
Hope i managed to explain the problem... any advise?

Hi pragati,

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 bob,
I am a happy man now. I tried to log in to joomla admin ealier today and it kept on rejecting my username and password several times. I made sure There was no error on the spelling. I was about to write another post and saw your reply regardign chrono forms I tried to log in for the last time and it worked. The chrono form works too. But i am still confused why earlier I could not long in. Is this a common site problem?
THANK U VERY MUCH !

Hi Pragati,

Apart from the occasional 'session expired' or 'token invalid' message admin login isn't much of a problem with Joomla!

If you have a problem it might be worth trying a different browser, sometimes that makes a difference.

Hi Bob,
Ok thanks for that.
I have another questions.
Now that the form is working, I am trying to create a form. i am using the wizard. Under set your emails, there is email properties. There you have enable? the is set to NO by default and I cant change it to yes. I am sure this is an easy one for you.
Thanks,

Hi Pragati.

Please check the following:

a) That 'Send Emails' is set to 'Yes' on the Form General tab

b) That you have a valid Email Setup - if the box is green it's valid, red is invalid (see d below)

c) That you have set 'Enabled' to 'Yes' in the Email Setup Properties box

d) A valid Email Setup requires To, Subject, From Name and From Email elements (or the Dynamic equivalents) in the *same* setup box.

e) The element boxes must contain strings for the static elements or valid input names from the form for the Dynamic elements.

f) The To and From Email boxes must contain valid email addresses

g) The From Email address should match the Domain name.

h) The To email address should not be the same as the From Email address.

Bob

Thanks again Bob,
It seems to be workign fine. The from email was missing. But I am confused on what should go under from email and to email. i only have one [email]info@lifeskill.com[/email] as the website email.
Thanks,

Hi Pragati,

If the Form and To emails are the same then some ISPs will drop the email (why yould you be emailing yourself?)

Usually any email with the site domain is OK as the From Email e.g. [email]admin@example.com[/email] The only drawback is that this will be the address you use if you click 'Reply' on one of the site emails. If they are only sending notices to the admin this is probably OK.

Bob

ok, that makes sense.
I have learned so much from you.
Many Thanks Bob.
