We are in the process of ChronoForms V3 creating forms for our church. As I was teaching my Tech Team how to create forms, we discovered we could not organize form fields horizontally as you would using a table in HTML, it only allows for vertical positioning. Is there a feature in either v3 or v4 we can use without going down to the HTML or PHP code level?
Thanks in Advance
Hi gilgantic,
If you want a table layout then you need to go to hand-coded HTML (or copy and paste from your preferred HTML editor).
There is a multi-holder element in CFv3 but it is of limited usefulness in creating table results. It's OK for grouping 2 or 3 elements into a single row.

Hello!
I have a similar question. I have created a custom html form in Dreamweaver and pasted it into "code" view. The form looks fine on the site, but it doesn't send the email to me for the reason that I have no idea how to add the email without using wizard which will remove my custom code.
Please help!

Hi Adriana,
In the code view set the type to Custom then the Advanced Wizard will work OK and allow you to add events.

Thank you, Bob, so much! You saved me from having more gray hair 🙂 I would never guess how it's done - I was afraid to open the wizard , so it wouldn't overwrite my code...
Come over to California, I'll buy you a beer! :wink:
Bob, maybe you can answer one more question. I'm trying to create a radio buttons group and the form email would not return the selected radio button - it just returns all their names... Do you know if it's possible to create a radio group in chronoforms? By default (in Wizard) it creates "yes" and "no" radio buttons, but they don't work as a group. What am I missing there?
Thanks so much for your help!
Adriana
I definitely owe you a beer.
Hi Adriana,
Do you mean a 'radio button' group? That would only return one value. Or do you mean a check-box group where you can make more than one selection?
If it's a radio button group it should return the value OK.
If it's a check-box group then they should all have the same array name e.g. name='checkbox[]'; you need to add a Handle Arrays action into the On Submit event before the Email action and put {checkbox} in the Email template.

It was the "radio button" group. I had to customize the form manually after I added the buttons in Wizard. By default, Wizard placed separate buttons into the form, not a group. So, went to the "custom" edit and fixed that by changing "name" tag to a same group name and adding "value". Took a while, thought, something wasn't working with processing form.
Thank you,
Adriana
