Hi,
is it possible to submit a form through the URL? If I type an URL with "task=send" inside it, the component doesn't allow it. The error "there is no form with this name" is showing up.
I am using chronoforms for a newsletter feature
Thanks in advance
Hi belly ,
Is this ChronoForms v3? If so you can use the Extra Code box with &task=extra but then you can't access the built-in DB Connection or Email and you need to hand-code the actions you need. I don't think that you can use the normal submit because there are security checks to make sure that the form is being submitted from the same user as loaded it.

Thank your for your fast answer. That's great! 😀
Yes, I'm using chronoforms V3 on J!1.5. I don't need the built-in DB connection, because the data gets saved to an external DB trough the onsubmit code. But it would be nice if the user gets an conformation-email. Hmmm....
Where would be the right place to work with custom events? Is it in the Extra-Code for example?
Maybe there is an alternative way, when I collect the unsubscription email with $_GET and using JS to submit this form. I want to use CF for an unsubscription-link inside an email newsletter.
Hi belly,
For the unsubscription link again you need to use &task=extra and hand-code the DB query to record the update. You'd need to do that anyhow.
You can send an email from the Extra Code box by using the Joomla! sendmail() method.
CFv4 has the ability to use actions in 'extra' events and is a lot more flexible for tasks like this.
