Hi, i'm again.

I use Chronoforms to add some additional informations to the User Profile. This works fine now.

The next step is to present this additional informations also in the backend. How can i replace the Backend User-List and the Backend User-Edit? Has anyone a hint for me?

Greetings

Hi Gerhard,

You can probably build ChronoForms that will do this - but in general I recommend not messing with the standard Joomla! tables as it may cause problems with future upgrades. Reading and writing the standard values is OK, adding new columns or changing the purpose of columns is not.

Hi Bob,

thank you for your answer.

The additional fields are stored in a separate table! So i only want to present the additional data in the User List in the backend and give the admins the possibility to edit this fields.

Hi Gerhard,

Then it should be no problem.

Add a DB Read to your form to load the data using the current User ID to identify the record. Keep the record Primary Key in a hidden input - just give it the same name - and a DB Save in the On Submit event will update the record.

Hi Bob,

thank you for your reply. My problem is, that i don't know what i have to do to replace the orginal joomla forms with the chronoforms.

Another hint for me? 😉

Thanks
Gerhard

Sorry, i'm again :?

I made the template override an redirect to the form this way:

$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
$mainframe->redirect('index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=Registration');

I expected to see my form with the name "Registration", but i'm redirected to the Chronoforms Component Page, where i can edit my forms.

Any hint what might be the problem with the redirect in the backend?

Thank you
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,

Try making that an Absolute URL - using relative URLs in Joomla! can get you unexpected results

$mainframe->redirect(JUri::root().'index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=Registration');

Hi Bob,

unfortunately your solution produces the same result: in spite of my form i get the main site of the chronoforms component.

Has anyone used a chronoforms-form in the backend?

Hi Gerhard,

Sorry, I'm out of suggestions for the moment. Maybe you can't override the back-end forms :-(

Could you make a limited access front-end form to do what you need?
