Hi

I'm trying to add the ability to edit existing records using DB Record Loader. If I have SEF URL's turned off:

index.php?option=com_chronoforms&view=form&Itemid=624&order_item_id=29

The record gets loaded correctly.

However, when I turn SEF URL's on:

order-form/eco-tm-edit&order_item_id=29

I get a 404 error.

Is it possible to use DB Record Loader with SEF URLs?

I should point out the SEF URL without the parameter (order-form/eco-tm-edit) loads an emty form as expected so it seems to be the parameter that is causing the issue.

Hi korweb,

At a guess the problem is the &, try using ? instead as that is needed to start a query string.

order-form/eco-tm-edit?order_item_id=29

Hi,

What is the structure of the edit URL in CF v5? I am trying index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=RegistrationForm&token=3
This gives me 404 error.

Thanks!

Normally you should copy the url of your form from the "View form" link in the forms manager, but in v5 the option should equal = com_chronoforms5

Hi Max,

Changing the option parameter worked for me. But the link now loads the default form. I want it to show the entries corresponding to the "id". Can you suggest some tutorial which I can follow to achieve this?

Thanks!

This is v5, so you need a "db read" in the "on load" event, and you need to add this code to the conditions box:

<?php
return array("db_table_field" => $form->data("token")); //change the db field name, and keep your url param as "token"

Hi Max,

Thanks a lot for your help. The problem was with the model name in the DB read.
You guys have done an awesome job here. I have recently started using ChronoForms and I found it extremely powerful. Although I must say there is need for more tutorials in the CF v5 section as the UI has changed a lot from v4. Currently I don't have the time to contribute but would love to be the part of such an effort in the near future. Do let me know how I can contribute to this project.

Thanks!
