Dragging Form Elements just moves Text

rowby 05 May, 2011
HI

Using ChronoForms V 3.2.

I'm experiencing a weird behavior with ChronoForms that I've never seen before. And it is only happening on one of my sites. The other sites are working fine.

Using the Wizard to create the form. In Step One when I drag the form elements from the Toolbox to the design box all that moves are the words of the element. Not the complete dialog.

It's easier to show than explain, so please look at my screen capture. Having a similar problem with the email settings. Just the name of the Email element shows up when I drag it to the Email Area.

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling ChronoForms but the same behavior continues. Perhaps it's some conflict????

BTW the forum's form attachment limit has been reached (which I found out when I tried to attach a file to this message), so here is a link to the screen capture:

Hi rowby,

You probably have the MooTools Upgrade Plugin enabled. This is an optional plug-in that enables the MooTools 1.2 library on your site.

ChronoForms v3 (and many other Joomla! extensions) use the MooTools 1.1.2 library that is installed by default. The ChronoForms Wizard, and other back-end code will not run with the plugin enabled.

If you disable the plug-in then ChronoForms v3 should run correctly.

Note ChronoForms v4 requires MooTools 1.2 and need the plug-in enabled.

If you are using ChronoForms v3 and need MooTools 1.2 in the front-end of your site then there is a hack for the plug-in posted in the forums here that will enable the 1.2 library in the front-end only. However the ChronoForms validation code and some other features will not work with this version.

There's a fuller "How-to Document" here that includes fixed files that will let the front-end of ChronoForms v 3.2 work with MooTools 1.2.

PS I increased the attachment allowance, thank for the heads-up.

THanks! TUrning off the advanced mootools plugin did it.

I had a feeling it had something to do with that!

Appreciate your help!
