Yo!
First off I have to say as a code novice I find Chronoforms really easy to use and so thanks! I shall be purchasing soon- as soon as funds allow.
I'm currently creating an ordering system for my business and could do with a little help. I offer housing surveys to individuals and estate agents and I'm making an ordering system where by the different offices or users can log in and order their surveys, see how previous orders are and hopefully even download reports off it.
So far I have made a custom registration form which contains their username, password, office address and contact details. I have so far made 1 of 4 survey order forms. I'm hoping that once I get 1 form working I can then translate that easily into doing the other 3.
My current goals with this are to use this registration form as the default and not the one provided with Joomla(aswell as the log in bit too) and to assign the username to the order form so that the users can view all of their orders.
I have searched and come across a couple of bits about replacing the default joomla registration bits but its the attaching the username to the order bit that I'm really after help with.
Any input is of course greatly appriciated.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You want to attach the User ID (not the username which can change). If you use the ChronoForms Create Table icon to create your table and the DB Save action to save the form data the User ID will be saved autoamtically (provided that the user is logged in).

Hi Bob,
I've now managed to create a unique registration form for my client to log-in and they can now order and succesfully submit a survey which is great.
Now i'm trying to implement a search function. I've had a look through the tutorials on the website although been slightly confused by it.
I'm after a search form that has an address entry (any field can be filled out to find a range of results) with a date range field too to grab any reports between a specified period.
I'd like to then display the fields in a table that if the user clicks on the entry, then there is a page about the property including a pdf report and pdf invoice to download?
If you can help or point me in any direction I would appriciate it.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,
'Search and List' as what ChronoConnectivity is about and you should use that extension for this part. CC v4 was released about a week about a week ago. By all means try that out - though there are some bugs in the Custom sections at the moment. I hope that these will be fixed in the next week or two.

hi Bob,
I've managed to create a a list of data now, and I know this is a connectivity question but I cant get the owner data field to work. I have put in the cf_user_id so it can determine whether the records belong to the logged in person, and when I've logged in as different users, the information still shows up regardless of whether they created the entry or not.
Also I've been looking through some tutorials on your website, escpially the one about data listing. I've put the html into the header, body and footer areas but they sseem to have no effect on the end outcome.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Using the Owner Data Field sounds right to me - though I haven't tried it. It should also work in the WHERE box but I'm not sure that is working correctly either :-(

Well it would appear that I've stumbled across a bug. Hopefully its something that can be sorted easily!
Hi Tim,
Yes, I expect that Max will do a bug-fix release in the next week or two.

Hi,
I'm having some trouble getting my new registration form to override the default joomla page.
Rather than create my own log in component, I'd rather use the Joomla one which I believe requires editing a file somewhere to point to my new registration form... but I can't seem to find it.
The only file I have so far edited is the in components-com_users-views-registration-tmpl-default.php and edited a line in there to point to my chronoform but that hasn't worked.
I think I need to edit the login module but no Idea how to do that.
