Chrono Forms 4 - How to set up emails?

cb1 04 Feb, 2011
For the life of me - I can't see where to set up emails in CF 4.

ALSO - when I fill in label text and hit apply - nothing happens.

But as of yet - I still can't save a form in CF4.

Should I just uninstall CF4 and go back to the latest V3 version?

I'm a big fan of chronoforms now that I've gotten to understand it a bit. But the new version is sort of confusing.

Hi cb1,

The admin for v4 is very different from version 3. I have had some success - other people have got forms that fail or won't save. I'd suggest that you treat v4 as a beta for the moment unless you need MooTools 1.2 in the admin area.

To create an email you need to click the Events tab, drag an Email Action to the onSubmit Event. Then click the center 'spanner' icon to open up the Email configuration.
Lastly click the 'Edit/Hide Template' link to open up the Template editor (there doesn't seem to be a default template here yet).

I also had the labels problem. If the Form Type is set to 'Custom' on the Forms Manager | Code tab then you can't edit any of the Form HTML using the Wizard - even though all the Wizard options are still apparently working. Either edit the labels manually in the HTML code box there or switch the Type to Wizard.
