Im trying to integrate a new form with CB and joomla 1.5 registration.
I started by adding a tab and necessary fields to CB. I then wanted to have a registration form which consolidated the many steps into one, enabling new users to complete 1 form which would collect all of the user, user additional and custom CB fields all at once.
The form works, appropriate emails are generated, but I don't yet have the plug-ins configured properly as I am getting an error.
I should also note that I have not created an additional table as all of my fields are in existing tables. Username and passwords are in jos_user, firstname, middlename, lastname are in jos_comprofiler and my additional fields are in CB / jos_comprofiler.
I am assuming that I need to have all three chronoforms plug-ins "turned on" as the fields are spread across each of those tables; however I have tried them in various configurations as I was reading that these plug-ins do very different things.
Does anyone know of a manual or documentation that discusses the whats, wheres and whys of these plug-ins?
The only error that I am receiving prompts the user to enter "name" -- and for some reason the line is now duplicated as if to say I duplicated setup efforts some where twice. I was originally using the name field, which is why this is probably showing up; however, I have removed all references to "name" as I am now using the Fristname, Middlename, and Lastname for unrelated reasons.
Can anyone explain how the steps that are necessary to set up a custom form which uses, username, firstname, lastname, email, password, and a couple of special CB fields stored in the jos_comprofiler table?

Hi cms_sea,
First off, you *should* only need the cb PlugIn to do this, so you can turn the others off. If you search the forums here for 'aftab' you will find a couple of threads, one has a good example of using the PlugIn with CB, the other picks up a bug with the PlugIn for Joomla 1.5.
The changed fields are trickier and I don't know how to deal with them without hacking the PlugIn code. I think it assumes a standard structure to the CB tables. But the hack is probably pretty straightforward once you have the standard version working OK.

We now have only the CB plug-in checked off. The new accounts are being created in the jos_users table--but they are NOT being created in the jos_comprofilier table, nor are they being written to the form's table we had created to see if data would be recorded.
The other issue with the jos_users entry is that the users are not being assigned a usertype--so they are not Registered.
Can anyone provide assistance in making these plug-ins work?
I guess I will attempt to re build it all without implementing the registration or profile plug-ins... it seems like once they were implemented there is something left behind and they can't be turned off.

Hi cms_sea,
Please make sure that you've found the thread where aftab posted a bug-fix - it explains why nothing is being saved to the tables. Make this fix before you do anything else.

Thank you Bob!
That was the bug...
Fix found at:
http://www.chronoengine.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,37/func,view/id,8613/catid,2/
Records seem to be created and data written, now I have to figure out what's necessary to register the user account that is being created.

Hi cms_sea,
So what have you been up to after the bug fix ? I cant understand your last comment about registering a user!
Cheers
