Error Notice: Use of undefined constant DS - assumed 'DS'

Hi,

I had a working localhost installation of Chronoforms 3.0 on my Joomla 3.1.1 website.
I moved to the server and then the form didnt show anything anymore. I deinstalled Chronoforms and tried to install it again, which was not possible. Instead I am receiving an

Notice: Use of undefined constant DS - assumed 'DS' in ...administrator/components/com_chronoforms/install.chronoforms.php on line 43

Warning: require_once(...administratorDScomponentsDScom_chronoformsDSversionsDSdb_updates.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in .../administrator/components/com_chronoforms/install.chronoforms.php on line 43

The website is here: http://namibian-life-travel.com/

Help would be much appreciated.

Nobody?

In line 43 of the install.chronoforms.php

require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS."administrator".DS."components".DS."com_chronoforms".DS."versions".DS."db_updates.php");

Has anybody an idea what I should change?

Hi mr.mauscat,

Please check you have downloaded the version of ChronoForms for Joomla! 3.

Bob

Hi GreyHead,

I did. I tried to install the latest Chronoforms_V4_stable_J3.0.zip

Still getting that error. On my localhost it works fine.

Sebastian

Hi mr.mauscat,

Please edit that file and add this line immediately before line 45

define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR)

That should fix the problem.

The explanation is that previous versions of Joomla! defined 'DS' as the directory separator (either / or \ depending on the system) but Joomla! 3 uses DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR instead.

I don't know why you see the error though, I have installed ChronoForms v4 on new Joomla! 3.1 sites with no errors :-(

Hi Bob,

I did that but now it shows me the following error:

Error

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file

Error building Admin Menus

???

Hi mr.mauscat,

You may have an corrupted installer package. I suggest that you download a fresh copy and try that. You should not be having these problems.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks again. I tried it once more with the follwoing error: Error building Admin Menus. Something seems to be f#*%ed up with my installation.

I know. I shouldn't have these problems but I still have them. Nothing found when I searched google and this forum. But no worries. Sometimes it is like that. I will use my old localhost version of the site and build it again on the server. Let's see if it works then. I willlet you now.

Thank you very much for your help,

All the best,
Sebastian

Hello,

If you don't have any forms then I suggest that you simply uninstall then install the latest CF for J3(make sure there is "J3" in the file name), hopefully this will fix it!

Please also do the same for the plugin/module if you have any of them installed.

Regards,
Max
