Generate Auto Template Output

Email Template > Generate Auto Template produces the code at the bottom

The text areas cause issues
here
<!--?php $editor = JFactory::getEditor(); echo $editor--->('investment _reduction', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

and here
<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_textarea"><!--?php $editor = JFactory::getEditor(); echo $editor--->('investment _reduction', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

Been fiddling with options to no avail
By default the contents of the text area doesn't get emailed.

Here's what is received
Red Tape Description
('description', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

Investment Being Hampered
('investment _reduction', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

Thanks

Hi yerg,

It looks as though something is converting some of the code so that

<?php $editor = JFactory::getEditor(); echo $editor->display('investment _reduction', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

becomes

<!--?php $editor = JFactory::getEditor(); echo $editor--->('investment _reduction', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>

I don't know what would do that, nothing in ChronoForms that I've ever seen.

Is this using the ChronoForms plug-in? If so, what other non-standard Content plug-ins are you using?

Bob

Only non default plugin is chronoforms :?
Using the latest chronoforms plugin

Hi yerg,

Do you see this problem if you use the Test Form button in the Form Wizard? Just trying to narrow down were the code might be being changed.

Bob

Ok
Using the popup or the generated page code form
Both fail

So I went onto the database and did a copy/paste of the correct code to bypass something happening with the save function
😢 😶
The page refreshed with

Contact Name:
{contact_name}

Email Address:
{email_address}

Organisation Name:
{input_text_3}

Industry Sector:
{industry_sector}

Red Tape Category:
{red_tape_category}


Red Tape Description

Fatal error: Call to undefined function display() in /nfs/c10/h04/mnt/150682/domains/redtaperubbishbin.com.au/html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/email/email.php(52) : eval()'d code on line 18

Dumb Question .. Why is there php in the email form?

No matter what I put into the form code to grab the content from the text area the email generated rejects the code?

Copy/Paste the RAW code into the html view of the editor
Click "Update"

The code is corrupted
So if I put it in either way the form or the email is screwed.

You may use the curly brackets formula to get fields data from the form data array, e.g: {field_name}.

Why no curly brackets?
Why this code calling the editor display
<?php $editor = JFactory::getEditor(); echo $editor>display('description', '', 600, 400, 12, 45, 1); ?>
We don't need the editor we need to output of the text area field

Hi yerg,

I can't tell from this what the problem is that you are getting. You sent me a link to the front-end of the form - though I think your problem is with the Email template?

In the code you posted there is a - missing; it should be $editor->display( but I don't know where you are copying this from?

Bob

I ended up removing the component and reinstalling and rebuilding the form from scratch. 🙂

It now works.
No ideas why, how, what was the issue but all forms created were error prone but in differing ways.
Sorry for the time wasting Bob
