install error

Hi,
Joomla 1.7 (Chronoforms files for Joomla 1.6 and Joomla 1.7) - i try to install the Chronoforms zip-file (Chronoforms_J1.6_V4_RC2.0.zip) by Joomla Backend Extensions, but Joomla! error: there is no install-packet.
Can somebody tell me, what i can do?

thank you, maggie

Hi maggie,

It should be simple. Maybe the file was corrupted in the download?

The video here shows the normal installation process.

Bob

Hello!
The Module and the plugin is now installed (not enough authority was the problem) but by install the component there is this Error Information: Error building Admin Menus

😶 now again my question - what can i do?

Thanks for help!
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

We saw this problem with an early release of Joomla! 1.6 / ChronoForms v4 but not with the current one. Which Joomla! version do you have.

Bob

Hi Bob,
my Joomla! Version is:
Joomla! 1.7.0 Stable [ Ember ] 19-Jul-2011 14:00 GMT

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Should be OK. Are the menus working? It's possible that the records were already there?

Bob

Hi Bob,
by Komponenten look therehttp://www.m-mnet.de/component.gif is no ChronoForms
:( Maggie

Hi!
The question: 'Are the menus working?' Meens that, by the menu components must be a menu ChronoForms?

Hello,
my install problem is not resolved. All rights to install are on '777' an by install the component 'Chronoforms_J1.6_V4_RC2.0.zip', the error is shown 'Error building Admin Menus'(see this img)

has someboy an idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Maggie

Hi, now I installed the ChronoForms component in Joomla1.6 and there, in the component menu, is ChronoForms integrated. When I show to the files on the server (Joomla!1.7 administrator/components/com_chronoforms / Joomla!1.6 administrator/components/com_chronoforms), by install the zip-files, the same files are installed, but by Joomla!1.7 in the backend, is no ChronoForms Menu there.

Must I install a file manual, or is ChronoForms not working in Joomla!1.7?

Thanks a lot for your helping.
Maggie

Hi mac2,

I don't know what to suggest to fix this. The Menus use some language files that are needed: they are administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_chronoforms.sys.ini and administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_chronoforms.ini The contents of both are the same

COM_CHRONOFORMS="ChronoForms"
COM_CHRONOFORMS_FORMS_MANAGER="Forms Manager"
COM_CHRONOFORMS_WIZARD="Form Wizard"
COM_CHRONOFORMS_EASY_WIZARD="Easy Form Wizard"
COM_CHRONOFORMS_VALIDATE="Validate Installation"

It may be that if you don't have an English language installation that these files aren't being found. You could try adding copies in an your main language folder.

The other part of the menu installation are some entries in the Joomla! #__menus table. I have posted the MySQL to create these in the forums here

Bob

Hi Bob,
thank you for your special trouble to help!

The administrator/language files are correct and completely installed by the automatic installation from ChronoForms.

But now I want to control the entries in the Joomla menus table, but I don't know where I can found this site 😶

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

That's one of the Joomla! database tables, you can see from PHPMyAdmin from your Site Control Panel (or by installing the EasySQL extension on your site).

Bob

Hi Bob,
...do you have link for me, where I can find the EasySQL extension?
Thank you!
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Please Google "Joomla! easysql"

Bob

Hi Bob,
sorry, for my 'dau' questions 😶

Is this the right way?

SQL-Befehl(e) in data base usr_web361_1 to do:
and here your code: INSERT INTO `#__menu` (`id`,`menutype`,`title`,... and so on

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

If you aren't sure what you are doing with the database tables . . . !! don't do anything !! You may damage your site.

For the moment just look to see if the ChronoForms entries are there.

Bob

Hi Bob,
in my database are this two entrys:

jos_chronoforms
SQL:
SELECT * FROM `jos_chronoforms` WHERE 1


jos_chronoform_actions
SQL:
SELECT * FROM `jos_chronoform_actions` WHERE 1

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

No, I'm afraid that you aren't looking in the right place. Those are just sample queries.

Do you have anyone nearbye with some technical knowledge who can help you here?

Bob

Hi Bob,
with a little help I found this _menu
http://www.m-mnet.de/_menu.gif
Is this the right place this/your instructions:
INSERT INTO `#__menu` (`id`,`menutype`,`title`,`alias`,`note`,`path`,`link`,`type`,`published`,`parent_id`,`level` ...and so on

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

First click the Anzeigen link to Browse the table and see if the records are already there.

Bob

Hi Bob,
no, there are no
com_chronoforms

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

OK, then backup the table in case something goes wrong (use the Exportieren tab at the top).

Then use my SQL statement but change the table name from #__menus to jos_menus

Bob

Hi Bob,
thanks for your answer :-)

The table name is jos_menu, not jos_menus - I chanced the '#__menus' in 'jos_menu'
Now this error is shown:

SQL-Befehl:

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Sorry about the mistake - my memory isn't as good as it might be :-(

The error could be because the MySQL I gave you has an error - see the revised version below, Or because the entry already exists.

Here's the code without the ID already set (i;ve removed `id`, and '465',. It's not needed to insert the entry.

INSERT INTO `jos_menu` ( `menutype` , `title` , `alias` , `note` , `path` , `link` , `type` , `published` , `parent_id` , `level` , `component_id` , `ordering` , `checked_out` , `checked_out_time` , `browserNav` , `access` , `img` , `template_style_id` , `params` , `lft` , `rgt` , `home` , `language` , `client_id` )
VALUES ( 'main', 'COM_CHRONOFORMS', 'comchronoforms', '', 'comchronoforms', 'index.php?option=com_chronoforms', 'component', 0, 1, 1, 10000, 0, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 1, 'components/com_chronoforms/CF.png', 0, '', 277, 286, 0, '', 1 ) ;

Bob

Hi Bob,
thanks!
The result is now this http://www.m-mnet.de/menu_2.gif
but in Joomla there is no menu Chronoforms in the component-menu 😢
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Hard to tell, my best guess is that the entries are already there :-(

I can only suggest that you try uninstaling and re-installing ChronoForms.

Bob

Hi Bob,
the table: jos_chronoforms is there (I write in post before)
http://www.m-mnet.de/menu_3.gif
but not com_chronoforms in the table: jos_menu

Do you mean the table: jos_chronoforms?
