hi,
first of all im a new user so please dont shoot me if i ask a silly question.

I have a connection that lists the data from a custom table.
I also have a form to enter new data. so far so good

So independetly they work, but if i use the new button in the list display(connection) and then press submit i get: Connection name can NOT be empty!and a row is inserted in the table with only 0's and nulls.

So i think the buttons aren't set to the proper connection somehow since i also get this error when i press the delete button.

Am i forgetting something?

kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hi redowl,

Is this the default connection page ? I mean, what's the link to your connection ? and what's the link in the browser bar when you click new ?

The error means that the connection name variable has not been passed.

Also is this in the admin or front area ?

ill try to explain my setup, just sa if u need screens or other info😉

1: in chronoconnectivity i have a connection with the folowing properties:
connection name: leskaartsysteem
connection app:ChronoConnectivity
forms app:ChronoConnectivity
Front form: editleskaart

2:in chrono forms i have a form with the folowing properties:
form name: editleskaart
form app: ChronoConnectivity

when i navigate using the new button it will redirect to:
option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=253

when i press submit it will redirect to:
option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=253

for readability i removed the site prefix


i think that the view=connection should be view=connection name but i cant find a place to edit this.
it must be a simple solution i just dont know where to set it😛

if u need any just say the word😉

p.s. all the magic happens in front end

Hi,

no, the "Itemid=253" section should be enough here, you are linking to the connection through a menu item ? if so then did you add the connection name to the menu item settings ?

Menu-itemtype: Connection data list
Menutitel: showform

basic options:
connectionname: leskaartsysteem

weird, what's the url when you are in the list page ?

index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=253

i can provide u with site acces if you want

I also have this problem. I saw that browser link when submitted changed & to

&

Hi JeLu,

I don't think that the &/& is the problem, there is no connection name in the link. Does the ItemId point to a menu item with the connection name in it?

I have the same problem. I have a connection made and reach it with a menuitem (Joomla). It then works fine but after I chenfed a record and CC redirect me back to the connection it says Connection name can NOT be empty.

The differens in browser http adress is & and & If I manually edit this adress to contain only & I get back to connection list.

If I remove amp; in the URL I get back to the connection, so I do think that is a problem.



//JeLu

Anyone who has an idee of what is causing this?

The connection exists and I can reach it thru menuitm in Joomla.

Hi JeLu,

Sorry, I'm really not up to date with the new ChronoConnectivity, this has to be one for Max.

Bob

Ok!

I understand that. Hope we get a solution for this or if I do it wrong, a hint about what to change.

Hi Jelu,

The issue has been found and fixed in the latest V4 RC3.3 available for download now.

the issue is fixed indeed everything is working just fine now😉
thanks for your time.

Max, are you referring to ChronoConnectivity V4 RC3.3? If so, please let us know where it is. The latest version available for download here is V4 RC3.2, and that version is definitely showing the defect about empty connection names.

I managed to work round this problem by explicitly including the connection ID in the Linkable Fields box (to link to an update form), but I'm also striking the problem when I'm clicking on sortable column headings. Please post CC V4 RC3.3 somewhere, or point us to wherever it is.

Thanks,

Hi Russell,

That was a typo indeed, please send me a link to your connection through the "Contact us" page and I will try to find what's wrong.
