How to copy and paste an existing formcode into Chronoforms?

Hi.

How to copy and paste an existing formcode into Chronoforms, and work from there?


Also ANY TIPS really, on the below subject would make my week:-)

"I've installed Chronoforms V4 into Joomla! 1.7.

I am now collecting text and figures into a DB via a multiform on the front end.

Now I want to manage the information, i.e. show the SUM of a figure calculation on the front end.

And having a submit thanks page, saying something like this:

Input 1= (name)
Input 2=(subject)
Input 3=(phonenumber)

Thanks (name), for submitting (subject), we will call you on (phonenumber)

And how do I make a Chart, based on figures from certain combinations of records in the database?

I just want some hints about how I easily can perform DB-record-management-tasks like this, without having to program evertything in PHP, as I am not a developer.

Chronoforms continued? Or another smart extension that make DB management easy?

P.S. I have already made a PHP script doing some of this, but have no idea how to perform the different functions within the concept of Chronoforms. I like that Chronoforms is using the template I've got for styling:-)"

Hi Morris2,

How to copy and paste an existing formcode into Chronoforms, and work from there?

Click the New icon in the Forms Manager Toolbar; give the form a unique name; Click the code tab and copy and paste in the Form HTML - without the <form . . .> and </fom> tags.

Save and Close, Click the Wizard Edit link; click events and drag a Show HTML action into the OnLoad event. Save and check the form. Add other actions as required.

Now I want to manage the information, i.e. show the SUM of a figure calculation on the front end.

Use PHP in a Custom Code action to do the calculations.

And having a submit thanks page, saying something like this:

Drag a Thank You page action into the On Submit event and copy in the text you have here but use {input_name} with curly brackets.

And having a submit thanks page, saying something like this:

Nothing is buil tin to ChronoForms to do charts - you can use external libraries quite easily. I think that Google has one that is quite flexible.

Hi GrayHead

Thanks for your reply!

Everything works now concerning my previous topic.
I even payed to remove the back link, and it works as well.
Cool ...

Now, how do I search only in my own custom DB table.
I can't find any search action in Chronoforms ...

Maybe I am missing something?

Any suggestion on a search extension, that is easy to handle for non programmers?

Best regards Morris
