How to make the simplest form that works?

Hi
I'm new to there
and I'm trying to build a simple form that works
(V2.0).
Therefore I put the following code inside the "Form HTML:"

<input name="Text1" type="text"></br>
<input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit">

That doesn't work. No mail was sent to the mailbox.
Could somebody show me a simple example?

By the way, I also tried to copy the codes from there

http://www.chronoengine.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,37/func,view/id,474/catid,2/

It doesn't work for me, neither...the browser gave me an error message indicating that something was missing.
What should I do with that?

Thanks in advanced.;)

hi, did you read the tutorial and watch the video ?🙂

There is other things must be configured too, you can post a screenshot for ur form edit screen ?

Cheers

Hi,

I'm not completely certain but I suspect that there is a bug in v2 that prevents it working correctly on a fresh install (upgrades work OK.

Can you try this. Add an e-mail field to your simple
table:

<input name="Text1" type="text"><br />
<input name="email" type="text"><br />
<input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit">

Then put {email} into the 'Email field' entry on the Admin | General tab (note: this must match the name of the 'email' text input).

Save and submit the form putting your own e-mail address in the email field.

If all is well this should send you an e-mail confirmation - this will at least prove that the basic mechanics are set up.

If I'm right, the bug is that the 'E-mail results' Yes option sends to a 'primary_email' field that is not set in v2 (but will still be there from v1.x if you upgraded). I'm not certain because my form code has been re-factored and I haven't tried a new install with the V2 code.

To Admin Max:
I've read the instruction there
http://www.chronoengine.com/content/view/28/
and followed the video step-by-step...I'm not sure what's missing
I'll post the screen later.

To Bob:
I'll try to install it all over again and establish a new form with your code.
By the way, what do you mean by "Upgrade"?
Directly overwrite an earlier version with V2.0?

:)

There the error message goes, using codes from there:
http://www.chronoengine.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,37/func,view/id,474/catid,2/

lines: 75
error: document.chronocontact_contactdemo.email is null or is not an object

trying to figure it out..:blink:

GTJ,

at the thread above, please copy my html code ONLY, put it at the HTML box and replace

<input type="button" value="Send" onClick="process_general_form()">

with :

<input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit">

then fill other requirements then open the form and submit, do u get anything in ur inbox ?

Max.

I still get nothing in my inbox after trying to replace the code above.

I also removed the "script" and "textarea" tags, but it doesn't work.

Looks like it jumps to the Redirect URL immediately after cliking submit.
(Unlike the build-in contact us page, it takes 5-10 seconds to redirect to a new page, and I can find new messages in the inbox)
Is it supposed to be the configuration problem?

can u put here a screenshot of ur first tab at the form edit page ?

Thanks

Max

There the screenshot is.
attached
I couldn't find out what's missing.
Could you take a look at this?
Thanks🙂

Hi,

Ok, Lets try 2 things now, I need a screenshot for your 3rd tab, and need you please to copy and paste here the code at the HTML code box.

#2- If your super admin account at your site has a valid email of yours, when you register new user at your site, do you get a notification email about the new registered user ?

Thanks,

Max
