Hi,

I have modified my chronoform to be an Online Booking Form for a Hotel. Can anyone help me how to publish it in my home page to automatically show in a module NOT in a link or a separate page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Hi AYSMAN,

Please see this FAQ

Bob

Hi again!

Thanks for that info. I already created a form and saved it. But when I go my joomla module manager I cant find the chronoform I created. Any Ideas?

Hi AYSMAN,

Have you installed the ChronoForms module?

Bob

Hi!
Sorry I'm new at this. Now I've installed the Module. But when I try to publish it in Module Manager: Module mod_chronoforms, There is no option where I can type in the form name that I want to publish. the "basic_option" panel on the right side of the screen does not show. What did I do wrong?

Hi AYSMAN,

If you click the Basic Options header it should open to show you a Form Name box.

Bob

There's no Header for Basic Options. I have a screen shot of this Here

Hi,

What's your Joomla version ?

Regards,
Max

Hi AYSMAN,

The 'Description' on your module comes from the Joomla! 1.5 version of the module but it looks as though your site is running Joomla! 2.5.

Please uninstall this version and re-install the Joomla! 2.5 version of the ChronoForms module. You can get it here

Bob

Nice catch!🙂

Works Great Sir! Thanks!

But now I can't seem to find where to put the email address to which the info typed in the form I create to be sent. Can you help me?

And also, I've published my form on my website I put it in the bottom position. But here's what only show

Hi AYSMAN,

Please see this FAQ about the form display and please see this FAQ about the email address.

Bob

Thank you sir for that prompt reply.

Now how do I configure my form to clear all the fields once submitted and each time i refresh the page it sends the same info to the recipients email. How can I fix this?

Hi Aysman,

Don't refresh the page - reload the form for testing.

This isn't usually a problem for normal users. If it is then you can use my Anti Flood [GH] action to block repeated submissions.

Bob

Ok thanks. But is there an action to clear the fields after a successful submission?

Hi AYSMAN,

Normally the fields are clear when you re-load a form page. How are you re-loading it?

Bob

well actually after clicking the submit button and confirming that it had successfully sent an email, the form does not automatically clear the fields and the info I typed-in are still there. I'm guessing im missing something in the actions field.

Hi AYSMAN,

Normally ChronoForms shows an empty page after the form is submitted - or a Thank You page if you have defined one; or it redirects to a page you have set. It doesn’t usually redisplay the form.

So, how are you re-loading / re-displaying the form?

Bob

On my events form I just put the email action. Anything else i should put there? Badly need help.

Hi AYSMAN

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Bob

Actually the site is still under construction you need an admin account to see the page. I can PM you the link with the admin account if you want. Thanks

Hi AYSMAN,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

Hi AYSMAN,

There was a problem with the SEF URLs, I've changed the Relative URLs setting on the Form General tab to No and it now submits correctly.

Bob

Thanks. But does the changes you've made affect anything in my database? cause I cant access may website anymore. This just shows "Database connection error (2): Could not connect to MySQL.".

I've tried contacting my Host they said my server is running.
tried pinging it and it does run. I just cant access it.

Hi AYSMAN,

AS far as I remember the only change I made was to the Relative URL setting. This has no effect at all on the Database or the Database connection. In my experience this message is usually a sign of an overloaded shared server.

Bob

Thanks so much. Solved it. Somehow when the relative URL is set to YES my broadband IP does not load the page.

Hi AYSMAN,

Oh - I've not seen that before. Maybe they cache pages somewhere to speedup download times.

Bob

Maybe, but that doesn't matter. It still loads when Im using my other ISP. Thanks so much.
