[Q] ChronoForms J1.5 V2.5 RC1 no longer opens....

TheEdge 25 Feb, 2008
G'Day,

All was well with this version and then I came to make a change to a form today and when I clicked on Components.Chrono Forms I got an error back from IE saying it could not open the page. I tried again with the same result. Then I tried FireFox same deal. Then I did this all again on a non Vista box just to make sure it wasnt that particular box.

I get no errors and literally a blank page. No HTML at all. The form still works in the front end fine. I *think* the only thing that changed is that I installed J1.5.1 between Chrono working and the current situation.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or can give me any insight onto how I go about tracking this down? I am running J! in legacy mode and all the other components I have installed are functioning just fine.

TIA

Hi TheEdge,

Someone else has just posted about a 'Restricted Access' problem with the latest Joomla Release Candidate. I'm not sure if this is the same problem or not.

The blank page problem has been around for a while - usually the answer is to turn off GZip compression in Joomla 1.5. But this was a problem with 1.5.0 too.

PS You don't need legacy mode for ChronoForms v2.5<br><br>Post edited by: GreyHead, at: 2008/02/25 13:52

GreyHead,

Yep my issue was not the same as the restricted access problem. It turned out that GZip compression was the culprit. Is this a problem with this component (when its on) or is it a more general J! issue?

PS. Legacy mode is on for other components.

Hi The Edge,

I'm not sure why the GZip is a problem - it's something to do with the way Max has it set up to create a page object and GZip hiccups if everything's not in the right sequence. If that sounds vague & waffly it is!

Hopefully this one should be fixed for the next release of ChronoForms. There is a hack that comments out a line and seems to work too but I'm no longer sure if the hack isn't fixing another hack so I'm leaving it to Max to sort out.
