I have made good progress setting up my application with the excellent Chronoengine tools. However, I am still struggling with some issues which affect the functionality of my system. I am using the latest versions of Chronoforms, Chronoconnectivity and Joomla 3.
I have a Chronoconnection frontend custom listing displaying my records. It works well. This frontend contains a custom listing in the "body" section. This frontend custom listing currently contains an edit column with a link that looks like this:
My first problem is that when I click on Submit, the form closes and is replaced by the home page of my site in the lightbox window. I then have to close the lightbox manually.
I have tried a few things to solve this problem. I have added a Load JS event to close the lightbox in the On Submit section of the form with no effect
The other problem I am having is that my Chronoconnection frontend custom listing uses a variable passed via the url to show the appropriate data. When the lightbox closes automatically (with iframe removed) I am redirected to the same view without the variable and of course the view is empty. I have attempted to use a Redirect URL event in the On Submit section and entered it's Action Order Number in the Return after Save Action Order field. I have even tried to use use my edit form without the lightbox and I still have had no success in getting the form to redirect back to my filtered view. (I do have links from other areas of the system that successfully update the parameters in the URL and allow for successful navigation to the same view - I just can't seem to get it to work using redirect events in the form's On Submit area.)
Sorry for the long email. Thanks for your help!
