Hi,
I have to work on a Joomla 1.5 website that someone else created. That someone is no more working for the company and he didn't do documentation on anything he did. Until now i managed to understand his work.
I'll explain my problem from A to Z because i'm not even sure it has to deal with ChronoConnectivity (it is just my guess).
I have a form created with ChronoContact 3.1 RC4 and imported to ChronoContact 3.2. This form is used for registered users to create a profile (one user can have multiple profiles). So to create a profile, one must be connected with a username/pswd. When this is done, the user is redirected to a page where he can chose to create a profile or update an existing one. These two pages seems to be the same, the URL doesn't change when I log in. And here is my problem!
The create a profile link is not pointing to the right path and I have no idea where this page is so I can change it... My guess is that something is generating it but i don't know how. This page's URL is the one of an Article ("Main" is added at the end for some reason) and when I peek into it there is just "{{ShowContent}}" written inside.
The rest of the process works well. The page I have a problem with has two links, the one that causes me trouble and one to access another page that alows user to update or delete an existing profile. This page ("www.mywebsite.com/my-profile") is another one that I can't find, probably generated with the same process. Anyway, this works.
ChronoConnectivity version is 1.2
This is driving me crazy for a week now! I hope you'll be able to help me!
Kind regards

Hi ccamp,
You have several linked things going on here.
One is that the site SEF URLs are making hard to work out the links. (You could try turning them off briefly when the site is quiet.)
The article content make is look as though there may be some plug-in in use to show one page of content inside an article. Try looking at the HTML in the article editor to see if you can see any more clues.
You should be able to check the forms by going to the ChronoForms Forms Manager and clicking on the link for each form to see what they look like, that will let you know which form (or forms) you need to look at in more detail.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply. I managed to make it work by creating a new form same as the other one. After some struggling, it's finaly doing quite well!
I don't know if this will be usefull to you but I noticed something.
During the profile creation, users have to check multiple checkboxes. Once the form is submitted, the database records it all. When I tried to edit what I had just done, the data sent to my form (via ChronoConnectivity) is well displayed except for the checkboxes. Only the first choice made by the user is displayed.
I managed to make it work by editing /components/com_chronocontacts/libraries/chronoform.php.
On lines 323 (twice) and 335 the explode and implode functions have a parameter ", ". The space after the coma adds a space between each the user's choice when data is inserted in database(choice1, choice2).
When it comes to edit the record, the data sent to checkboxes is corrupted because of that space. That is why only the first choice is displayed (first choice has no space before the first char).
But I still have a problem... Again sorry!
When I edit data, the validation is not working. Is it possible to enable it in ChronoConnectivity? If it is, could you lend me a hand for how to do it please?
Thanks!

Hi,
Does the validation work when you are using a standalone form ? please use the "Frontend view" link in the "Forms manager" to test this.

Hello,
Could you please send me the link through the contact us page ? I need to check if your edit page has a js error or if the files are not loaded..etc, because normally the validation should work in the edit page.
