Hi there,

Upon returning to the backend of Chronoforms a few weeks after setting up a form successfully, the form wizard appears to be broken :/
When I try to drag an item to create Text or a Header or anything it only drags a piece of text and doesn't create the item/dropdown/textarea. The list of items available to drag and drop from is also now appearing at the bottom rather than on the right hand side.(See attachment)

Please help - I don't understand what could be causing this.

Kind Regards,

Hi MatrixDonna,

You probably have the MooTools Upgrade Plugin enabled. This is an optional plug-in that enables the MooTools 1.2 library on your site.

ChronoForms v3 (and many other Joomla! extensions) use the MooTools 1.1.2 library that is installed by default. The ChronoForms Wizard, and other back-end code will not run with the plugin enabled.

If you disable the plug-in then ChronoForms v3 should run correctly.

Note ChronoForms v4 requires MooTools 1.2 and need the plug-in enabled.

If you are using ChronoForms v3 and need MooTools 1.2 in the front-end of your site then there is a hack for the plug-in posted in the forums here that will enable the 1.2 library in the front-end only. However the ChronoForms validation code and some other features will not work with this version.

There's a fuller "How-to Document" here that includes fixed files that will let the front-end of ChronoForms v 3.2 work with MooTools 1.2.
