Hi,
I was wondering if all the actions that were made for v4 would work on v5? Especially the watchman action.
Thanks
No, the actions should be updated to work on v5!

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Not sure exactly. Last version of CF I used was v3. So I don't know all the actions that exist.
What I need to accomplish is the following:
- Form with date and time selector. (need to limit date and time selection)
- Dynamic validation on specific input fields. (If you choose a radio button option a section of the form is shown/hidden and only when it's shown some fields are required)
- Captcha
- Watchman I need to close the form between specific times of day.
- Dynamic email template depending on the fields selected.
On CFv3 I used a lot of custom javascript to make some of this stuff work. Not sure if some of it is possible without custom JS in the new versions of CF.
Ok, here are my comments:
- Form with date and time selector. (need to limit date and time selection)
Possible in v4, not yet in v5
- Dynamic validation on specific input fields. (If you choose a radio button option a section of the form is shown/hidden and only when it's shown some fields are required)
Possible in v4 with some custom js coding, in v5 the first part is built in (show/hide), but the 2nd part may or may not work, or may need a small patch
- Captcha
Possible in both
- Watchman I need to close the form between specific times of day.
I think this is available in v4, if not then it can be done using PHP code
- Dynamic email template depending on the fields selected.
Possible in both using PHP code

Looks like CFv4 is the best option right now. What are the upgrade possibilities to CFv5?
Will the forms be able to migrate over without major issues?
No upgrade possibilities, you will have to redo most of the form when you want to use v5, but currently v4 supports the latest version of Joomla, so there would be no need for that!
