My form is not showed

gestwebres 16 Mar, 2012
Hi,
I've installed the Component in my test site (Joomla 2.5.3, updated from a joomla 1.7, Language Italian) in order to make some test.
I've prepared a simple form, by pressing the Add button and giving a name. Then I change the form type to "Wizard" and choose Advanced Wizard Type.
I simply drag a TextField a PasswordField and a SubmitButton to the Fields List and Save, but, even if I add the Form Name to a Menu Item or I simply click on the "Frontend view" link in Backend, the form is never showed up.

I've tried to add some other stuff, like Event Actions, to save to DB (creating the table of course), and enable the Debug Mode, but the only change in output is as showed in the picture attached.

Seriously, I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong...

Thank you for any advice!

Ok, I think I've got the point: when you create a form, you have to insert in the Events part of the Wizard, for the onLoad event the "Show HTML" action, in order to see the form (see attachment).

IMHO, this does not make the interface very usable, I think it could be more intuitive that after create the form the Show HTML is automatically added (with a wrote "If You Remove This the Form Will Stop Working").

Anyway, I think I've resolved!

Hi gestwebres,

If you use the Easy Wizard that will add the Show HTNL action for you.

There are a series of videos here that will help you get started with CFv4.
