A few issues

Hi
I am using ChronoForms for the forst time
and I am developing a contact form.

1) I am trying to use the reCapctha instead of the provided captcha (which works) but it just doesn't load. What displays is {chronocaptcha_img}
I read some previous posts where it was suggested that {reCaptcha} was to be manually substituted in the HTML code, but I am not sure where excatly to do this.
The only place where I found captcha related code in the html window (within the form manager) was:

<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="antispam_container_div"><label>Antispam</label><input maxlength="5" size="5" class="reCaptcha validate['required']" title="" label_over="0" hide_label="0" type="text" value="" name="reCaptcha" />
{reCaptcha_img}<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-chrono_verification"></div></div>

where I replaced reCaptcha to any occurence of Chronoforms.
But the only thing that happens is that reCaptcha_img replaces chronoform_img
in the displayed form.
I also included an LoadreCaptcha within a OnLoad event and a CheckreCaptcha within a onSubmit event.

2) How can the form recover the data filled in by the user and send it to a provided e-mail address?
I have put an email action within a onSubmit event, and specified recipient email address inside the email element.
After pressing the submit button I get a thank you message after the form disappears, and at the same time an error message saying that "the e-mail function cannot be initialized". How should it be initialized?

3) How can I customize the error messages (black dialogs) that come out when a field is not properly filled?

4) The editor inside the text fields customization window has its "styles" combobox not working (at least in my environment: Joomla 1.5.25) while the rest of the editor buttons seem to be working fine. So I cann't change the text style.
Any help appreciated

Hi ascotti,

For 1, 2 & 3 please see the videos here

4 I don't understand? Where exactly is the "text fields customization window"?

Hi Bob
please have a look at the snapshot

Hi ascotti,

As far as I can see this is the standard Joomla! TinyMCE editor and the styles are (or should be) being picked up from whatever is set up through the TinyMCE plug-in. I Googled this article which talks about the settings in Joomla! 1.5.

Thanks bob for the article.
I went through the video for setting up the e-mail functionality
I did as explained in it and used the debug action.
Apparently the email gets sent (according to the debug element)
but, on top of the page appears a message saying that "the e-mail functionality
has not been initialized". So as a matter of fact the mail is not being sent.
Now I am not sure whether this is an issue related to my Joomla installation
or if it has to do with chronoforms, that is: that there still is some configuration of chronoform that I am missing to doing.
Best regards
Antonio

Hi Antonio,

Can you send emails for your site? Is is a local installation?

Bob

Hi Bob
yes it is a local installation in my laptop.
Cheers

Hi Antonio,

Then you probably don't have a mail server installed. I think if you configure the site to use SMTP with a Gmail account that should do OK.
