Hi,
I created a form that looks fine, but is not working.
The form can be seen here: http://www.o-line-webs.nl/salsafran/cursus-aanbod/algemenen-aanmeldingsformulier.html (website login.. user: guest pw: Pass1n)(Joomla admin login: guest pw: Pass1n)

Goal:
The form is meant to submit data an an eventual upload
The form name is sf_aanmelden

Done:
I have read the manuals / tutorials and created the form accordingly.

Symtoms:
1) the form does not submit data.
2) the form (when in debug mode) does not generate debug info (it's as if the form crashes)
3) The only output the form generates is a partially pink rectangle containing the number 1.
4) The data in the e-mail field gets replaced by (php?)code.

Can anyone recognise this problem? i can not figure it out!
Thanks in advance.

environment:
Joomla 1.5.23
Chronocontact v3.2

Hi obrowne,

You have a dash '-' in some of your input names. Dashes give ChronoForms and MySQL problems. Please rename the input using only [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] or underscore '_'. No dashes, spaces or other special characters.

<input class="cf_inputbox required" maxlength="150" size="30" title="*!" id="text_6" name="gb-datum" type="text">

Wow!

could it be that simple?
I will try this solution and advise...
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Bob,

I'm sorry to say that the above proposed soution did not work.
I changed all field names containing a dash [ - ] to underscore [ _ ].
But sadly the problem persists 😟

Question in this case...

Does Chronoforms generate any other code that relates to the HTML-form-code that is generated?

The reason why i ask this is, that when rechecking the html-code that was initially generated i discovered a fild name as follows: check2[]. Which i found to be odd. so i manually changed it in the html form-code to check2. Could it be that by doing this i broke somthing in the code-structure?

Hi Orlando,

Names with [] are array names - that is they can return multiple results in an array. They are most often used with checkbox groups and multi-select drop-downs. I don't think that changing it would break the form though - you'd just get a single result instead of the array of results.

I'll take another look in a few minutes.

Bob

PD You don't need the [] for a single checkbox - e.g. one used for 'I agree to xyz'.

Ok Bob,

thanks for that info.
I will put back the [].
Because i do need multiple results for that particular field.

Hi Orlando,

Is this the latest ChronoForms version 3.2?

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

Bob

Hi Bob,

That did it! Thanks!

I still need to test if i can really upload files, but the form is submitting now!
is there a debugged version 3.2 on the site at the moment? If so, I will upgrade immediately so i do not run into this challenge again.

Hi Orlando,

No there isn't, at least not that I know of. I don't have access to Max's master files so can't reliably post a full fix.

Bob

Hmmm..

Form data submission is a-ok now.

However the attachment of an uploaded file is no success!.
In the debug it is said that the file uploaded crrectly! (see debug syntax below)

hi all,

Disregard last comment.
Found the mistake!
Which was this:
..\httpdocs\salsafran\components\com_chronocontact\uploads\sf_aanmelden\
SHOULD BE:
../httpdocs/salsafran/components/com_chronocontact/uploads/sf_aanmelden/

All works wel now 😀
