From Advanced to Easy wipes my information! Is this normal?

baxterdown 15 Dec, 2011
My needs are simple. I create contact forms and I like to use ReCaptcha.

With ChronoForms v4:
- I create the form with easy wizard
- I have to go into advanced mode to add ReCaptcha events
- I cannot leave advanced mode once I'm there. If I try going back to easy mode all e-mail configurations get wiped!

How can I create a form and effectively switch between modes without wiping my settings? Or, how can I work on one single mode to accomplish everything I need to do?

- Form
- ReCaptcha (and setting up events)
- E-mail configurations
- Thank you
- Etc.

Hi Baxterdown,

There is this red warning message in the Advanced editor:
Warning, switching to easy mode from advanced mode will simply reset all your current form's events set.

Why do you need to go back to use the Easy Mode Editor? There's nothing there that you can't do in the Advanced Wizard (personally I never use the Easy Mode except to test).

Hi Bob,

I need to go back to Easy mode to edit the e-mail configurations.

- I always add myself as a recipient during testing. I need to go back to remove my e-mail address after go-live.
- On occasion a client will edit a contact form. I have to edit the e-mail configuration to add or remove information.

Regards,

Jose

Hi Jose,

You can do that in the Advanced Wizard, Click the Events tab and you'll see all three Email actions (you can delete any un-used ones).

The Easy Wizard is just a 'wrapper' for an Advanced form with a default set of actions.

IC! Thanks Bob! I thought there was no way to go back and see the e-mails in Advanced mode. I appreciate your help.

Have a great one.

Jose
