Submit Article & Checkbox.

Hello!

I have two problems with ChronoForms.

1 - I added the action "submit article" in box "On submit", an article is created but it's empty.

2 - I receive correctly completed form by email, but two fields gives me the result: {input_checkbox_group_XX}

Sorry for my english and thanks for the support !

:)

Hi Rubiks,

1) The Submit article action requires that you use specific input names in your form to match the jos_content table. Do your form inputs have the correct names?

2) You need to drag a Handle Arrays action into the On Submit event and move it up before Email action.

Thank you! it works well for checkboxgroup.

but I dont understand the second point, I did not touch anything in the db.

Thanks for support.🙂

Hi Rubiks,

Do the input names in your form match the column names from the jos_content table: title, alias, introtext, fulltext, etc?

Bob

I put the title (the field "name" and its work), but I dont know what to put in the rest.
there are many field.

Thank for great support !

Hi Rubiks,

Looking at the plug-in again moost of it is done for you. You need to add four input names on the Fields tab: for the article Title, Full Text, Intor Text and Author Alias.

Sorry, i dont understand.😟

In "Submit Article" i put :

Article Title Field : input_text_9
Full Text Field :
Intro Text Field :
Author Alias Field : input_text_9

i can put only one field, If I put a single field, it displays only one result, but I wonder if the article is like email.

sorry for my misunderstanding.
Here is a screentshoot of "events"

Hi Rubiks,

You need entries for at least one of the intortext or fulltext boxes - that's where the article content comes from.

Bob

But, if i put, input_text_6 in intro or fulltext, it only shows the results of a field (input_text_6) how to display all the fields?

Thanks !🙂

Hi Rubiks,

You need to add custom code to join together all the informtion you want in the article into a single string to go into the introtext / fulltext fields.

There are several threads here on doing this with ChronoForms v3. The code is slightly different in CFv4 but the basic method is the same.
