CF5 - Saving form deletes fields & setup data - even in demo forms

Hi

I'm using Joomla! 3.2.3 with Chronoforms5 and build up a simple form creating field by field (15), saving, creating a field, saving and so on.

Without any hint Chronoforms delete fields from the form except of 3, the next time I build it up it delete except of 4.... I have done this for several times, creating brand new forms, using simple and advanced mode....... it seems it doesn't matter what I'm editing or doing. All looks well until saving. After saving all fields are gone!
Also it is impossible to save setup informations. If I use my form or use a demo and edit the setup and save -> all setup entries are gone.

Now I'm tired to build it up again and I'm looking for a solution.
Whats wrong? Why Chronoforms delete itself?

Thanks
Chriss

Hi Chriss,

What's your Chronoforms v5 version ? is it the latest RC5 ?

Did you change the "safe save" setting under the "settings" area ? that should be enabled.

I am having the same problem. Just created a form and saved it... bunch of fields truncated off the form. CF 5.0 RC5 . Joomla 2.5.24.

thanks

Please update to the latest release!

Make sure "Safe save" is ON under settings.

I have updated, thanks. Now trying to get file upload to work. The photo upload field appears in the Designer, but not showing on the form on the website. In setup, I have "Files Upload" defined...

On submit
   Check ReCaptcha
   On Success
      Files Upload
         On success
            Email
         On fail
            Event loop
     On fail
         Event loop

It appears that the problem was upload path did not end with "/".

Hi JCalvert,

If you leave the final / off then the last part of the path is treated as the first part of the filename so the files are uploaded one folder up from the folder you wanted.

PS While your setup will work Ok I recommend that you don't use the On Success events unless there is a particular reason. It makes your forms more complex than needed and harder to understand when you come back later:

On submit
  Check ReCaptcha
    On fail
      Event loop
  Files Upload
    On fail
      Event loop
  Email

If you leave the final / off then the last part of the path is treated as the first part of the filename so the files are uploaded one folder up from the folder you wanted.

What I was saying is that when I left off the "/" at the end of the path, the file upload field simply did not show at all in the form on my website. When I added the "/", then the field showed normally and things worked as expected.

If you use your own file path then you should have a / at the end, we suggest that you leave it empty and test using the default path first!
