STRANGE behavior blank front-end view

I have been trying to understand whats going on.
This is in j1.7 and ChronoForms 4.0 RC2.0

I first try and setup a custom form.
front end view shows blank.. WHAT.

So I create a brand new form, wizard... add a couple text elements. save and then go to front-end view. still blank.


If I create a new form with the wizard, in easy mode. things seem to work.

If I take a custom code form, change it to wizard, I have to edit the form in easy mode, save it and then it comes up. If I change it back to advanced. the form still works. If I go ahead and change to custom and put custome html in. it shows now. What is going on??! any ideas.. this is very strange behavior!!

Hi leeburstroghm,

In Advanced Mode you need to drag a Show HTML action into the OnLoad event box. Please see this video.

Thanks grey head.

I did not get my head wrapped around this new version yet. It makes sense now.
you still need to go into wizard edit to apply your other options. and easy mode already applies alot of these things. In the wizard, with custom form set, you just cant add elements to the form.. kewl..

This makes much more sense.. thanks!

Hi leeburstroghm,

You got it :-)

The good thing about the Easy Wizard is that it does a lot of the work in adding actions for you. The bad thing is that it adds a lot of actions that you probably don't need.

yea. it adds, Alot, file uploads, captcha and then some..
good to know though.. for ease of use, creating the easy form and then removing un-necessary actions is the quickest way to get the custom form up and working.. very nice BTW.. Big improvements over previous versions..
