Hello ChronForms team,

Could we please enable an option to have different sorting orders in the Forms Manager? I have several websites with so many forms, it is quite a task to manage many forms with similar or slightly different names. A sort order on a form name would already help a lot (and is basically all I need).

Further, can we have a dropwown selector in the Forms Manager as well to be able to view more than 20 forms at the same time please ?

Thank you and best regards from

Erik

Hi Erik,

I broadly agree with you - that would be really useful.

I often end up with a 100 or more forms on a test site and finding one is tough (though by far the majority of users only have ten or less).

I do edit each new version I install so that the list is sorted 'newest first'. That saves having to hunt for the current batch. That is a simple hack, about line 156 of /administrator/components/com_chronoforms/controller.php add DESC like this:

$database->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__chronoforms WHERE `app` = '".$app."' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $pageNav->limitstart,$pageNav->limit");

I hadn't noticed that the page length selector has vanished in the latest release, hopefully that will be back soon.

The other useful tool is that you can group related forms using the Form App setting which will then let you select that group of forms from the drop-down above the Forms list. (I'd prefer this if there was a default 'All' selection as I tend to forget where I've put them.)

Thank you Bob, that's a usefull hint about the sort order. I've set mine to 'name' instead of 'id now, and removed the LIMT. Also, I hadn't noticed the Form App setting yet, will try it out🙂. Thanks !

Best regards from
