CFv5 infomix

Hello to all, happy 2014.
After many trials to adapt to CFv4 our big dynamic forms born with CFv3, but without complete success (problems with javascript, validation etc.etc.), we found that came out CFv5.
Super, we think, but...
We installed it...
First, the backup/restore from CFv4 to CFv5 written form with custom code does not work (and we have only big dynamic custom forms).
Now some questions ... the first of a long series we fear:
1) Where is the action Debugger?
2) How to delete a new event (such as on_load or on_submit) created to test?
3) The utility Multipage what it's called now?
4) How to remove "Republish form data" in HTML (Render Form)?
5) The code is not to much user friendly :-)
We know that your job is hard and tiring and we thank you for do it for free (o just a beer) but our work (we not professionals) is sometimes impossible.
...and start the test again...
happy new year :-)

Hi Assospiz,

As I've written in this FAQ ChronoForms v5 is still in development and some features from CFv4 are not available. If you need those features then you should stay with CFv4.

To upgrade custom forms you should probably try using Copy and Paste into a new CFv5 form.

PS You can't delete an Event in either CFv4 or CFv5 :-(

Hi Bob,
We know that CFv5 is still at the beginning. Don't worry!
In the case of custom code a simpler syntax could help the inexperienced like us.
Ours was not a critical but only the opinion from a point of view of users.
Your work is valuable and super!
PS: In CFv4 you can delete an event after it is added.

Hi Assopiz,

PS: In CFv4 you can delete an event after it is added.

So you can:-) I never noticed that :-(

This is all Max's work, not mine, I just do some technical support here.

Yes, we (everybody) can :-) (see images) and below is complete italian translation JS for CFv4 formcheck... our gift :-)

Hi assospiz,

Thanks for the feedback and contribution!🙂

I'm trying to release a new V5 update this weekend with many new features and bug fixes, hopefully it will have all the missing points you mentioned, it already has the debugger action.

Regards,
Max

Hi admin,
you're welcome

thanks a lot for the new release

Hi assospiz,

No problems, now its out with most of the stuff requested!🙂

Could you please give me more info about the "Republish form data" option ? in which situation you need this ?

Regards,
Max

Hi admin,

we saw RC3. Thanks for your weekend job.
For some reason the back-end display correctly only in Firefox and IE... in Chrome not.

However...

Republish form data it was a CFv4 option in Events -> Show html.
For us it was useful in the case of multi-pages forms with many options radio or checkbox when the compiler changed his mind and came back to the previous page.
The decision to republish or no data entered was the webmaster.
So you cleaned the fields and avoided leaving unwanted check.
Moreover, in cases of dynamic radio+checkboxes or dynamic radio+radio made with custom JS, if Republish form data is set to YES the submit did not register the latest changes, but always re-proposed the initial choices. If Republish form data is set to NO work perfect.

Hi assospiz,

Please try to clear your browser cache, which Joomla version do you have ? please download RC3.1 because it fixes few glitches found today!

The multi page action now has a "reset" setting which you can use to clear the session for that form so the user should restart the form!

Please retest the situation of the dynamic checkboxes and let me know if you have the same problem on V5

Regards,
Max

Hi Max,

We have joomla 2.5.17
With RC3.1 all browsers work ok (maybe was a problem with our Chrome cache)!

We saw "Reset any stored data and start a fresh session", but the phrase "this should be enabled in the first page" is correct? We may need reset on page 3 or 4 but not in to 1.

To test the dynamic checkboxes we need more time because our code is all custom and with the new syntax we need to change a lot of code.

We are also studying the syntax for Events -> On Selecting -> Action because in the wizard mode nothing is written in the code. A tutorial would be super.

Thanks,
Regards,
Assospiz

Hi assospiz,

I will try to add more tutorials soon, just busy with fixes and updates now!

Regarding the session reset, you may try it at the 3rd or 4th page, let me know if it doesn't fit your needs and let me know the situation details so I can implement the correct solution!🙂

Regards,
Max
