Hi,

I installed Chronoform1.5V4-RC1.9 in a Joomla 1.5.23 site. No problems during installation and I have the plugin 'Systems - Mootools Upgrade' enabled. When I try to use the Form Wizard or the Easy Form Wizard none of the drag-and-drop functions seem to operate, nor any of the tabs on that page. When I hold down the left-mouse button I just seem to select the item I roll over.
I probably fotgot something, so I realy hope someone can help me on this.

Hi Frits,

Double-check that the plug-in is enabled. Look at the page headers to see which MooTools files are loading.

If it isn't the plug-in then something else may be messing with the MooTools file loads.

Hi Bob,

thank you for your quick reply. I dubble checked the plugin enabling.

when I inspected the pageheader I found this:

</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/plugins/system/cdscriptegrator/libraries/highslide/js/highslide-full.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/js/joomla.javascript.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/mootools.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">


Is this what I was supposed to see?

Hi Frits,

That's what you see when the plug-in is *not* enabled :-(

When the plug-in is enabled the MooTools entry looks like

<script src="/plugins/system/mtupgrade/mootools.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hi Bob,

slowly i'm loosing my mind on this one 😟

once again I double-checked the plugin and it really is enabled. But when I look in the map: plugin/system/mtupgrade I'm seeing the next files:

behavior.php
index.html
mootools-1-12.js
mootools-uncompressed.js
mootools.js

Is this correct?

Hi ftuijn,

That looks correct to me.

mootools-1-12.js <-- the 'old' MooTools 1.12
mootools-uncompressed.js <-- the uncompressed version of MooTools 1.5 (used when site debug is on)
mootools.js <-- the compressed version of MooTools 1.5

The problem is that the right version isn't being loaded :-(

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

I just installed Chronoforms J1.5_V4 for the first time. I have the MooTools upgrade installed and enabled. It does not work! I can't drag and drop the elements onto the form page? Not a clue!

Hi ftuijn,

I took a look at your site and although the plug-in is enabled it doesn't appear to be doing anything. The old version of MooTools is still being loaded. I poked around a little and don't see any obvious reason for it not working :-(

Hi FodorTheMagnificent,

I am having the same problem.

Joomla 1.5.23
Chronoforms 4.0RC19
Mootools 1.2.4

Chronoforms was working splendidly until we updated mootools - at least I think that's what broke it.

The plugin is enabled, but here is the interesting part of the page header:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/joomla15/media/system/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/joomla15/media/system/js/modal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://docrel.psc.edu/joomla15/plugins/system/flowplayer_r/javascripts/flowplayer-3.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://docrel.psc.edu/joomla15/components/com_chronoforms/js/formcheck/formcheck-yui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://docrel.psc.edu/joomla15/components/com_chronoforms/js/formcheck/formcheck-max.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://docrel.psc.edu/joomla15/components/com_chronoforms/js/formcheck/lang/en.js"></script>

Any ideas where to look? Many thanks.

Hi dnigra,

<script type="text/javascript" src="/joomla15/media/system/js/mootools.js"></script>

This is the location of the standard MooTools 1.12 library, not the MooTools 1.2.4 library so the Plug-in is not working on your site. Some other extension may be blocking it, try changing the plug-in order so that it is the first system plug-in in the list.

I finally took a closer look, and the solution was easy, and exactly what GrayHead said. I'm posting this in case someone else is as befuddled by this as I was.

Yes, the mootools plug-in needs to load first.

I had looked at the plug-in order column in the plug-in manager. The mootools upgrade was listed as "-99", lower than any other plug-in. I assumed - wrongly - that this meant it would load first.

Once it entered my thick head to actually edit the mootools plug-in to take a look around, I saw that the mootools plug-in was SECOND in the list. I dragged it to the top, and voila! Chronoforms is back in working order and I am able to edit existing forms and create new ones.

Thanks again, GrayHead, for a great component and for great support.

Sorry to poke an old thread, but I'm having the same problem and changing the MooTools Upgrade order didn't work for me. I'm using ChronoForms 4.0 RC3.21 and MooTools upgrade 1.5. The upgrade is number 1 in the order. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ChronoForms several times. What else can I try?

Thanks,
Zach

Hi Zach,

Please use your web developer tools to check which version of MooTools is actually loading in the admin area.

Bob

Looks like it's 1.2.5. I figured it out. I had several plugins enabled from RocketThemes, which also uses MooTools. Once I disabled those, drag and drop worked fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi zachashley,

If one of them was the RokGzipper then that's probably the culprit here.
