Hi
I'm new with Chrono and I wonder how I can write new custom element with php code, just like codes we can write in Chronoconnectivity.
I mean something like this:

<select>
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<10;<$i++){
  echo "<option value='".$i."'>".$i."</option>\r\n";
}
?>
</select>

and I really appreciate if someone helps me in order to make user list from joomla
thanks indeed

Hi padideh,

I'm not sure if you can put PHP in a custom element. You can add this code to the Form HTML though.

The user list answer has been posted here a couple of times recently.

Hi GreyHead
thank you for your answer
I'm afraid I don't know where the "form html" is however I couldn't find the topic that you mentioned.
what exactly I need is to make user list from joomla database
I think it should be simple for powerful form maker like chronoforms and I just don't know where to look for it
thank you

Hi padideh,

Here's one example I found:

<select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection" id="cf_user_id" size="1" title=""  name="cf_user_id">
  <option value="">Select</option>
<?php
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "
  SELECT *
    FROM #__users ;
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$data = $db->loadObjectList();
foreach ($data as $d) {
  echo "<option value='".$d->id."'>".$d->name."</option>";
}
?>
</select>

thank you so much
it worked perfectly
there is one more thing and I really appreciate if you could help me
assume there are 3 persons in my website (one manager and two customers)
manager wants to upload a file for one of them.
manager can upload files and simply select user just like you said.
and I made a page with chronoconnectivity for the person who wants to see the files.
this is where sql in chronoconnectivity:

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$id = $user->get('id');
echo "where cf_user_id = '$id'";
?>

and this is body in chronoconnectivity:

<tr>
<td>
{text_1}

</td>
<td>
<?php echo "<a href='components/com_chronocontact/uploadsew/";?>
{file_3}
<?php echo "'>"?>
Download
<?php echo "</a>";
?>
</td>
</tr>

it works but my problem is that this link exhibits the directory path and if someone knows the file name, simply can use the address bar and download it, I mean files are available for everyone
it was what I've done so far.
so is there any way to make this links indirectly?
thanks

anyone ?

Hi padideh,

I don't know; I'd probably add a random string to the file name to make it hard to guess.

thank you so much.
