Submit event disappears (and reppears)

NickOg 07 Jun, 2012
This is perhaps best explained by the series of screen shots but in brief, if you add a debugger action to the submit event and then delete that debugger action, the submit event disappears. If you then replace it by adding a Submit event manually and then close and reopen the form a new submit event is added leaving two submit events. If, after deleting the debugger action causing the submit event to disappear, you close and reopen the form, a new empty submit event is automatically added. Phew!๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Images added as a zip file - there are more than three.

ps - 9 Jan 08:00 AEST Has anyone else hit this problem or is it just me? ๐Ÿคจ It isn't confined to the submit event. It seems to occur if you delete any action that is first in the event list. The work round seems to be to shift the action you want to delete down a place, apply that change and then delete it.

Hi Nick,

I tried to reproduce this here but it doesn't happen, but I admit that I have seen something similar on a user's website, and that was on J1.5

What's your Joomla version ? and did this happen on the previous Chronoforms version ?

Max

Now there is a question Max. I should have noted that and didn't. And damned if I can recall or work it out now. And, of course, I can't reproduce the problem on either J1.5 or J1.7. Not very helpful - but I wasn't dreaming. Honest! If I hit it again I will more carefully note the environment and come back to you.


ps: and I have just reproduced it now on a J 1.5 site. Exactly the same characteristics. And it was on this latest version. I will try it again tomorrow and, if it helps, I can give you access to the site.

Any resolution to this? Same issue for me, on all kinds of actions. Seems random, but it's quite inconvenient as it requires you to then recreate everything in that event (or cancel, undoing anything since last Apply). Chrome 21.0.1180.79, Joomla! 1.5.26.

I realize you may not be supporting J!1.5 but due to your lack of a migration process, I need to get everything set up in V4 J!1.5 before upgrading.๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks.

No resolution but a work round. Add an empty custom code to the top of the 'On Load' and 'Submit' events - I just label it 'dummy to prevent delete'. Save the change and as long as you never delete that action then you are at least covered!

I hope that helps
