Forms trouble

Hi

Joomla 3.2 and CF v4 newest versions

I tried to create a couple of forms and because of facing some difficulties with non latin languages I decided to use different form for each language.

I finally had created about 25 forms when trouble started:
- form field validation was lost with all my forms - that is when running frontpage or test form, forms can be submitted without selecting or writing anything to validated fields or drop downs. Saving to database still works.

In the events list there is for example show html, save to database and debug - nothing serious extra coding in these yet.

So I thought there is a trouble with chronoforms setup or something and I uninstalled chronoforms feeling happy about doing my backups frequently. I made infact backups of my forms several times a day and every day one complete backup of Joomla.

So everything ok I thought but - while restoring I could not restore all forms
and only 20 of the forms were restored. So I tried to restore the forms to another similar installation and the validation problem was like before having this problem at my main site. Also 20 forms restored only

Now my questions
How to get the validation working?
How to restore all forms?

HiI doe,

If the validation fails that is most often because of a JavaScript conflict with something else on the page being loaded by your template or another component. Please see this FAQ

ChronoForms stores all of the form information in the database; and you can also use the BackUp and Restore icons to save copies either individually or in batches.

Restoring the database tables should recover all of the forms that were saved when it was backed up - unless you merge the tables it may over-write any forms created since the backup!

I've never had any problems with restoring forms from the 'icon' backups (and I've done a few hundred restores by now).

Hard to know what the problem is that you are having here :-(

Hi

After removing a couple of modules I installed previously the validation of CFV4 works now without touching any of the settings of my forms.

I looked into the forms restore matter and in the backup file I had 32 forms but chronoforms restores only the first 20 of them. I made a quick and dirty solution by opening the cf4bak file into notepad++ and copied the 12 forms to another file which i restored separately. Voila - now I have 32 forms again.

My knowledge of this extension does not give me an opportunity to understand where this form restore limitation comes from but I found at least a workaround for this.

Hi doe,

My best guess here is that the 'select all' checkbox only selects the forms on the current page. If there are only 20 forms listed then that is all that will be exported. Setting the paginator to 'All' should fix that.
