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?
