Hey,
When you use a chronoform that generate a joomla article, you can enter of course the same title for different forms/articles. And on the back, joomla has the same alias for the different articles.
But apparantly Joomla doesn't like it when different articles have the same alias.
For example i can't delete them. When i manually put in another alias in the joomla backend, I can then delete them.
ps I'm using Joomla 3...

Hi Brononius,
The easiest way round this I can think of is to use a Custom Code action before the Submit Article action to make sure that the Title is unique (you can add a string to it like 'Beginners 97'.
A more complicated way is to use a Custom Code action after the Submit Article action to check if the alias is unique and to update it if it isn't.
A even more complicated way is to leave out the Submit Article action and hand-code the article saving so that you ave full control.
A much more complicated way would be to update the action to remove these bugs (and add some more features too).
