Hi Justin,

Do you have the imageverification enabled ?

Cheers

ok.. i deleted this form and recreated it and it works fine and i can view the data that has been posted from the form..

however if i enable the antispan image verification.. i get..

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /administrator/index2.php could not be found on this server.

and have to delete and recreate this form again..

is there anyway round this.. and by the way.. thanxs for the quick reply.. Justin

also.. is there anyway of limiting the number of characters when u view the forms data table because i have one field called message and this can be quite long.. if it was shorter it would fit nicely in the table and u could view the rest of it when you click through on the redord id..

max.. in one of ure posts u said..

"just take care the Antispam image and the mambots will not run fine yet at this beta release, everything else should be fine unless somebody face some bug we didn't found"..

I had a lot of problems getting mambots working with this release.. and i think u have just answered it..

if I put {jumi}code goes here{/jumi} into an article all I see is that as text, there is no output.. is this the reason.. and is there anything i can do about it..

Hi Justin,

the issue is that at the Chronoforms for Joomla 1 you can for example add media to the form code...etc, however this feature won't work yet for you the J1.5 version!

the image verification also wont work fine unless you have the session handler set to NONE at the global config of joomla!!

Do you mean limit the number of characters a user can submit? If that's what you mean, then you should be able to use JavaScript for that. Just find some JS coding online that would limit the max number of characters you want to set it at.

It's been a few years since I wrote JS and it has since all left my mind.

Hi krackerjax,

I think in this case Justin was asking about the display in the data viewer. JavaScript might work here but simpler to edit the display code. At the moment you'd have to hack the ChronoForms code to do this.
