making multiforms work

I think I've tried every permutation of the possibilities in the multiform box (there aren't many), to no avail. Two simple test forms, test" and "test2." Test 2 is first on the list.
Here is the url of form test2
http://lionscamphorizon.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=test2

Here is the debug
params: JParameter Object ( [_raw] => debugging=0 onsubmit=before_email stepscount= formsnames= stepsnavigation=0 [_xml] => [_elements] => Array ( ) [_elementPath] => Array ( [0] => /users/lionscamphorizon.org/htdocs/libraries/joomla/html/parameter/element ) [_defaultNameSpace] => _default [_registry] => Array ( [_default] => Array ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [debugging] => 1 [onsubmit] => before_email [stepscount] => 2 [formsnames] => test2,test [stepsnavigation] => 0 [finalbuttonname] => submit both foms ) ) ) [_errors] => Array ( ) )

I'm not knowledgeable enough to determine my error from the debug.
All 3 forms have the plug ins enabled for multiforms ; no other plugins are enabled.
Am using version 3.2

Any assistance would be appreciated.'

thanks, Jon Wilkin

Hi jon,

You need a mother form with no Form HTML, plus one child for for each step.

Configure the multi-page plug-in *only* on the mother form, add the names of the child forms in a comma separated list in the "Step form names" box: test,test2

Bob -
I think that's what I did. The motherfotrm "pap" is empty, # of steps is 2, forms are test2,test
Doesn't work with 'enable stepa navigation' on or off.

Hi jon,

Have you fixed this?

All 3 forms have the plug ins enabled for multiforms

Bob

Yup, all 3 have multipage plugin enabled.

now I have a new unrelated problem. I had previously purchased a 3 domain subscription which installed without on 3 sites hosted by Siteground. I just bought a 5 domain subscription and can't get to install on a site hosted on a different host company.

Hi jon,

Enable the plug-in on the mother form ***only***.

For any question about licensing or validation of any of the ChronoEngine products please contact Max directly by using the Contact Us form from the link above. I don't know how Max has the product validation set up.

Bob

Well, only mother's plugin is enabled. Still no luck.
Mootools upgrade is disabled - I just checked.

jon

Hi jon,

OK, by all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

Hi Jon,

Took a look and the forms appear to be working OK except that it's a little unusual to use the same input names on both steps as the second one over-writes the first.

What problems are you seeing?

Bob

The two forms were test2 and test.
So I changed the second to play.
Now mother is "pap", children are "test2" and "play"
Child "test2" is still misbehaving, not passing the baton to "play", just sending me an email.
Can I spank this errant child? Oops, not in the US, it isn't PC

jon

Hi jon,

When I looked the values were being passed on to the second form OK.

Posted: Array ( 
  [text_0] => tttrtrtr 
  [text_1] => trtrtrtrtrtrr 
  [button_2] => Submit [6cefb6543bf6b12250098471ba173dea] => 1 
  [1cf1] => 6656b60ef8bfe5cc46090d4df24ac1a8 
  [chronoformname] => pap 
  [text_5] => sffsfsfsdf 
  [select_6] => option 1 
  [button_1] => Submit 
  [cfformstep] => 
) 

There was an error on the second step because you had File Uploads set to Yes but no file input in the form (and an invalid specification string). There is a bug in thes version of ChronoForms, you will need the fix (see below) if you want to use file uploads.

Bob

Is this the latest ChronoForms version 3.2?

If so there's a bug in the File upload code. Please see this post.
