Hey Guys,
Sorry, I must be really dumb!
I installed CF V3 2.0, I looked at "Making a simple form"
My form needs about 15 items, name, phone, email, select property type etc.
I figured this would be easy!

I put in the form title, OK
Now I want a text box for name.... won't let me drag one there.
Then I want the same for email.... won't let me.
Then I want a drop down.... won't let me dag one of those either.

What gives?

I'm sure I am making a simple and stupid newbie mistake here, it only lets me drag text only and then nothing else!!

I just want to build a form, could someone please tell me how I am stuck so early on?

Thanks so much guys🙂

Hi G9Cap,

You probably have the MooTools Upgrade Plugin enabled. This is an optional plug-in that enables the MooTools 1.2 library on your site.

ChronoForms v3 (and many other Joomla! extensions) use the MooTools 1.1.2 library that is installed by default. The ChronoForms Wizard, and other back-end code will not run with the plugin enabled.

If you disable the plug-in then ChronoForms v3 should run correctly.

Note ChronoForms v4 requires MooTools 1.2 and need the plug-in enabled.

If you are using ChronoForms v3 and need MooTools 1.2 in the front-end of your site then there is a hack for the plug-in posted in the forums here that will enable the 1.2 library in the front-end only. However the ChronoForms validation code and some other features will not work with this version.

There's a fuller "How-to Document" here that includes fixed files that will let the front-end of ChronoForms v 3.2 work with MooTools 1.2.
