validation lost after switch to easy mode

AleAste 06 Sep, 2011
Good morning,
I've seen the message that is shown by cf and that if i remember well in the 1.9 there was not...

Warning, switching to easy mode from advanced mode will simply reset all your current form's events set.


Why this thing? If I have to custom my code I have to switch to the easy mode and in this way I will lose all the changes to the server side validations...
🙄

Thanks,

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

Actually this has always been the case, but I just added this warning in Rc2.0, if you know your way at the advanced mode then you should just use it, its the more powerful and flexible, you can use all the extension capabilities there.

Hi,

I have a same problem with Chronoforms. When applying the new form in Form Wizard I see this message:
Warning, switching to easy mode from advanced mode will simply reset all your current form's events set.
and when click on the Frontend view in the Forms Manager I do not see anything.
Chronoforms is olny work when I use Easy Form Wizzard, but this do not send email.

Why is this happening? Thanks!

Hi swee,

The Easy Wizard Mode sends emails if you configure them on the Emails tab.

If you don't see anything in the Front End in Advanced Mode then you probably need to drag a Show HTML action into the On Load event.

In General switching from Easy Mode to Advanced Mode is OK (but you will see a lot of unused actions); switching from Advanced Mode to Easy Mode is not recommended as you will lose some of your form settings.

Thanks for your answer!
The Show HTML action is working, and I see my form in the Front End, but the page do not send email.
I set everything in the From wizard and Easy From Wizard according to the tutorials, But I have not receive the emails.

Do you have any idea about this problem? Thank you!

Hi swee,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.
