Chronoform V4 not showing

Hi!
I have a question. I have the component chronoform V4 installed in Joomla 1.15.19 but the form is not showing. Please can somebody help me. I can give some screenshots if necessary. thanx a lot.

Hi srecko_marielle,

I have very little experience with v4 yet and personally I am treating it as a 'beta' release to be used for development and learning.

To get the form to display you have to add a 'Show html' action to the OnLoad event. That's not obvious but it is required :-)

Bob

Thanks for directing me to this post, Bob. I just moved the Show html to the OnLoad Event, but my save button seems to have stopped functioning. If I click save, it doesn't change the screen, so I click on Form Manager and then on the Wizard Edit for that form and when it brings me back to the wizard, the Show html is no longer in the OnLoad Event box.

Hi fullfusion,

Hmmm . . . I can only say that it seems to work OK here. Not very helpful I'm afraid.

Do you have v4 RC1.2 from last week?

Bob

Yes, RC1.2.

Hi fullfusion,

I don't know much but . . . by all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

Hi there!
I have also another question. I placed the folowing form but the spaces between the text boxes is very large. Can somebody help me how I can change this. The template I am using is created with artisteer. Thank you..

Hi fullfusion,

I couldn't find the fault with your form. I created a copy and deleted and altered various bits but it stubbornly refused to save.

I was able to creat a replica using the Form Wizard and then Wizard Edit. Not all the inputs are there but one of each type is and this one displays OK in the Front End :-)

I have no idea what the difference is though :-(

Bob

Hi srecko-marielle,

I think I answered that query here.

Bob

Shoot. I just tried to add more fields to your test form, which I renamed, and it won't save again. I've got to have these forms up by Monday so it looks like I'll have to go back to version 3 for this project and wait for version 4 to get a little further along. Is Max notified of specific bugs like this so that he can address them, or do I need to notify him some how?

Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the update, I can see the JavaScript error but it's one of those vague ones that isn't very helpful unless you know the code inside out.

Max will probably read this but no harm in dropping him a link to the thread through the Contact Us form.

Bob

Hi!
Now everything looks good and the layout is perfect but the form is not send to my email. Can you please help me again.

Hi srecko_marielle,

Sorry, I've no idea. I can only say that it seems to be working OK here. Is it Enabled on the General tab?

Bob

LOL slightly major feature missing from the wizard, to say 'IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE THIS THEN YOUR FORM WON'T SHOW, NOOB!'🙂:)

Just spent ages troubleshooting why my form wasn't showing to find this forum post \o/

Hi RCheesley,

I agree, I think that a couple of things should be set by default and Show HTML is top of the list.

Having the Form Name field somewhere visible would also be good.

Bob

:oops: Wow. I'm glad I found this before posting a new topic. Stupid mistake.
For some reason even after enabling everything I can't get it to send to my email.
Am I missing something?

Hi freezeframe,

Am I missing something?

Probably but hard to tell what. There's a 'sticky' tutorials post in this form where you'll find one pdf by Max and links to a couple of useful video tutorials. Hopefully they will give you some clues.
