Popup acknowledement + Auto generate ID

Dear Chrono Team,

I need to do acknowledgement as a notification pop-up after the "submit" button is clicked after user submit the form, and also to be sent out to the email address provided.

This acknowledgement have to be able to generate the 6-digit pre-reg ID (e.g. P10011) and the 3-digit security code (e.g. 919)

Are we able to do this?

Can anybody show me how to crate this process especially for the auto generating the ID.

thank you.

Hi chekwan,

Are you using ChronoForms v4?

If so, try using my Unique ID [GH] action to create the unique id. This creates random IDs so would be fine for the pin, I'm not sure if your prefix is a sequential number or a random one. If it's sequential then you'd need to write a database record and get the id back to use here.

Hello GreyHead,

I've tried to solve a simliar task with your Unique ID Action.

I created a folder "load_user_info_gh" in the path described on your page and uploaded the three files. However, the drag element is not showing anywhere (I guess it should appear in "Utilities").

Its a "Chronoforms_J1.6_V4_RC2.0." running on "J1.7.3." Maybe this is the problem?

Best regards

Hi pez,

It should be right down the bottom of the list in the 'Joomla! User Management' group.

I can find "Joomla Login" and "User Registration" only in this list :-(

Hi pez222 ,

Please upgrade to CFv4 RC3.0 and use the new Action Installer icon on the Forms Manager Toolbar.

Bob

Thanks!

After update and install, the drag box appeared in "Utilities".

I added the action event in the "submit" area and everything worked fine. The only thing I had to do was to add a row in phpmyadmin (tried it twice with "creat table" in CF but it didn't work).

Now I can go on to my next task of replacing the "date"-prefix in the uploaded filename with the unique-id while saving. I hope I'll get the code right :-)

Thanks again
