I installed version 4 to test it out. I was able to add stuff on the first tab "General" but not on the last two tabs. I click on the last two tabs but nothing is happening.
* General
* Code
* JS Validation
I'm using FF. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!
Hi LikeStuff,
It looks OK here, though I've only had time for some very limited tests so far.
You do need Joomla! 1.5.18 or later with the MooTools Upgrade plug-in enabled.

Oh I did not have the MooTools Upgrade plug-in enabled. It's fine now. Thanks!!
1. Sorry me again. Where do I add the email information? You know that form where you enter the To, Subject, From Name, From Email, etc... I don't see that anywhere.
2. Plus when I enter the HTML code and save it, if I click on frontend view it's blank.
3. Also I don't see where the email template code should go.
Thanks!!
Hi LikeStuff,
The new version has a very different Admin setup and a very different underlying structure.
Everything is linked to 'Actions' and 'Events'. An Action does something; an Event fires the Action.
So far there are two events: onLoad and OnSubmit. To create an Action for your form you need to drag it across to the corresponding Event box.

Once it's in the Event box you can click the second icon in the group at the right to open the Action Settings box in the left hand column. The Action Settings will relate to the current Action.
So for example: [list]
drag a 'Show HTML' Action into OnLoad to display your form HTML.drag a 'Show Thanks Message' Action into OnSubmit to display a Thank You page.drag an 'Email' Action into OnSubmit to send an email.. . .[/list]
You can drag and drop Actions to change the order in which they run.
You can see the Email settings in the image below.

Thanks for the info. it's helpful. I assume there isn't any documentation on this yet so I can stop bugging you?
I clicked on the form and entered my HTML code in the HTML box but everytime I open the form to edit the HTML, the code is erased?
Also, I still can't see where to add the code for the HTML template...
Hi LikeStuff,
I'm probably half a step ahead of you (if not behind).
If you go to Forms Manager, click the 'form name' link, then the Code tab you'll see a Form Type drop down with Custom and Wizard options. This setting seems to have some fundamental effect on what you can edit where. I wish I could give you a clearer answer but I can't.
If it is set to Wizard then the Wizard code will over-ride any hand-coded HTML (I think); if it is set to Custom then the hand-coded HTML is preserved - but I also found it made a difference when I tried to rename inputs in the Wizard.
For the HTML Email template you have to click the 'Wizard Edit' link in the Forms Manager; then Drop + Events; then drag an 'Email' Action over to the OnSubmit Box; then click the 'Edit/Hide Template' text in the new Email Action. (The click 'Add/Remove Editor' below the box to turn the Rich Text Editor on and off.)
