ChronoForms 3.2 / Joomla 1.5.23 Plugins Not Working (Kinda)

jeremykiveo 02 Sep, 2011
I have a form that I built in ChronoForms 3.2 on Joomla 1.5.23 on my local machine for a client. I exported the form and imported it into the client's server (same setup) using the "restore form" functionality. After uploading the form, I re-created the "Redirect" plugin settings and enabled the Plugin in the form's Plugins tab.

When I clicked save and went through the form online, everything worked as expected. The customer needed me to change something with the wording on the form and I did so. When I went back through the form, the redirect did not work. I went back into the Plugins and the Redirect Plugin was disabled. So I reenabled it. Then I saved everything and went back in to make sure the plugin was enabled and the plugin was not present in the list (I even checked the HTML, not there - see screenshot). Upon save, the plugin reappeared and was disabled.

It looks as though Plugins enabled states are not being saved with the form. Is there a known fix for this? Sorry, even though I've looked through the forums, I'm not sure I can find anything similar.

Hi jeremykiveo,

There's no good fix, there is a workaround.

The Plug-in settings are not included in the Backup and restore :-( They ae saved in a separate dtabase table and, assuming that you can access both tables you can do a copy and paste to move them over. The only changes needed are to the record id (just to the next in sequence) and the form ID = to match up to the ID of the new version.
