Hi, I used before ChronoForms V 4, and it was working fine, but I want the user upload 5 files. I tried to do it, but I couldn't. That's why I downloaded ChronoForms V 5, and I validate my domain (utaxis.com). I did it because I need the user upload those files.

So, I backed up the form that is working with ChronoForms V4 and put it to work with V5, but it's not shown at my site, even testing.

Then I proceed to create a new form under ChronoForms V5, but it keeps the same, nothing is shown at my front end.

I uploaded 4 CF V5 files : Chronoforms_V5.0.3_Component.zip Chronoforms_V5.0_Plugin_RC1.zip Chronoforms_V5_Module_RC1.1.zip and tcpdf.zip to my joomla site.

You can see what happend on live at my site.... utaxis.com ... at the top menu you will see the option JOIN UTAXIS (That is with CF V5) and is not working, and at the Footer Menu you will see (in grey color) JOIN UTAXIS (That is with CF V4) and is working, but not properly, because I need it send me the file attached.

Hope you understand me and hope you help me...

Thanks

Hi Rbatista,

v4 can upload multiple files!

v5 can't import v4 forms completely, only "most" of the form fields will be imported, but you will still need to do the form setup, you can check the start guide here:
http://www.chronoengine.com/chronoforms-start-guide.html

You are most probably missing the "HTML" action in the "on load" event.

You can simply keep on using v4 and use v5 to just build this single form, but v4 can also upload multiple files.

Max

Ok...
The HTML (Render Form) was missing.
I put it at SETUP, On Load --> HTML (Render Form)

I save it.
I hit Test form
and still it is not shown.

Note : this new form was made with ChromoForm V5 and still not working for me... Maybe I am missing another thing.

PS : it doesn't matter for me to use CF V4 or V5, the main concern for me is just to receive the files that the user will load. I will like you help me to work with V4, or V5.

Thanks

Please post a screenshot for your form "Designer" and "Setup" areas ?

Did you check our FAQs for how to upload multiple files ? its available for v4 as I noted.

Right now I am concern on how to display the form using CF V5
But I will check the FAQ...
I sent you the 2 files Designer and Setup

Your form setup looks ok, what happens when you click the "Test form" button ?

The same, I mean "nothing"...🙂
It shows a clear page, here you can see :

Hi rbatista809,

The form is there OK - it's just that you added some CSS to your template to hide the CFv4 strapline and that's now hiding the CFv5 form.

Buying a subscription would have saved you the hassle,

Bob

Hi Bob
The thing is that CF V4 was working fine (at one point). The CF V5 is the one that is not shown
What about the subscription ?

I bought this :
Product Name : Chronoforms 3 domains subscription

I don't know if that is what you are talking about

Ramon

Hi Ramon,

Good to see that you have a subscription. You still have CSS in your template that is hiding the form. Please check the Page HTML with your browser web Developer tools to find the CSS. From memory it is something like this

.chronoform{
 display: none;
}

Bob

Hi,

I think some template providers add the CSS line by default in order to hide the v4 link but that hides the whole v5 form now.

I have edited the post above to hide the sale details!

Regards,
Max

Sorry Bob but I don't understand nothing😟...
I have two ChronoForms V4 and V5....
As I told you before... V4 is working fine BUT is not saving the files that I want to upload, that's why I am trying with V5, but V5 looks worst for me 😟... It will be fine if you send me a link that shows me how to put this to work uploading files (Note, maybe I am wrong with V4 version, because I am looking in google on how to do it, but it doesn't look the same that I have)

About V5, it looks great and looks that it can do the thing that I want, but maybe here is the problem :
In my hosting there is a directory named com_chronoforms (I think that's for V4) with the follows subdirs :
*- css (with datepicker, formcheck, images)
*- js (with datepicker, datepicker_moo, formcheck)
*- libraries (with includes)
*- uploads (with utaxisdriver WHERE I CAN FIND ALL THE PICTS I WANT TO SEND TO THE EMAIL)
*- views (with form)
and the files : background.png, chrono_verification.php, chronoforms.html.php, chronoforms.php, default.ttf and index.html

=============
In V5 forder I only can see the following subdirs :
*- chronoform (with libs, uploads)
*- views (with form)

So, here in V5 I have not .css or .js libraries

Note this important thing... in V4 I can see the uploaded files, so, for me that's better than nothing🙂

Please, help me to put this to work
Thanks

Hii rbatista809,

Go to your main.css file on line 595 and remove this rule:

.chronoform {
    display: none;
}

Then, your CF5 form will show😉

Hey BNDragon... you got the point 🙂
Now it's working...
Your english is the best 🙂 I speak spanish...jejeje...

Thanks a lot

Hi rbatista809,

I'm glad it works😉

I speak Portuguese, and sometimes I give a few gaffes in English, when I reread it, nor I understand well what I said xD ahah

Hi BNDragon...
Everything is ALMOST done🙂, but I need it to complete it...
there are 5 things that still are not working fine. I am going to put it in importance order :

1.- Only bring me the first file that I upload as Attachment ( The others are saved in the server very well, but I need like 7 to be
attached)
2.- When I was using V4 all the information in the form was saved in my database, but now it looks like it wants to save the infos,
but only empty fields are saved.
3.- I will like to put the mask in a Phone field like : (999) 999-9999 but right now only shows me this type of mask :
+9 (999) 999-999
4.- The fields Username and Password can accept SPACE, how can I control that ?... I don't want user put spaces in those 2 fields.

Thanks

Hi rbatista809,

To the first point I can't help you, I never needed to send any files, so I don't know how to do it.

2-How are you saving your data?

3- To set a custom mask, you need to set the mask to none ('-') and in the extra parameters, some like this would work:

data-inputmask='mask' : '(999)999-9999'

4-If you do not need/want special characters on any of that, just click on edit, tab Validation and set alphanumeric to yes.

BN

Thanks for the point no. 3 with the mask... it works perfect
I did the point no. 4, but still the same, I can write space on it and at the time of saving, it doesn't trigger an error

Ramon

Hi,

#1- Just add your files fields names to the "Attachments fields names" box in the "Email" action setting, v5 uploads path is under components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/uploads/

#2- all fields data should be saved if they are available in the data array and if your table has matching fields names.

#4- I have added a new validation rule for "no spaces", but this should be available in the next update!

Regards,
Max

Hi guys,

#4 - You can always set a server validation action onSubmit event, there you can validate the no spaces field.😉

BN

Hi Max...

I did point #1

Attachment files :
file23, file24, file25, file26, file27, file28, file29
and only brings me file23

Point #2
I added On Submit, On Success --> DB Save, enable Yes, Table Name --> mytable, Save under Model ID Yes, Model ID Data...
But still do the same, only add me a blank record...
All the field in my table are matching fields name.
(That was working fine with V4, I don't know what I am missing)

Hi rbatista809,

Please try leaving out the spaces:

file23,file24,file25,file26,file27,file28,file29

Bob

Hey Bob !!!!
That works !!!...

I was using spaces between each file name...

Thanks a lot...

Ramon

Hi,

Did you tried the Server validation for spaces?

I test it and it works😉

BN

Hi, BNDragon

Yes I did it...
I put this

On Server Validation --> on the No spaces option --> I put this
username:This field should not have blank space
password:This field should not have blank space

At the end it shows me that error message, but still do the same...

Hi rbatista809,

But did you put all of your actions inside the server validation right?

[attachment=0]cf5 ServerVal.png[/attachment]

I use it and it works for me :/

BN

ahhh nooo...
jeejjej...
I will try...
Thanks

It will be fine if we can put in or take out all actions from some places... I mean... now I have to delete all that I have done to put it inside the server validation... and if it doesn't work I have to delete again and put it outside.... I don't know if I am doing wrong, but I have to do it like that

You can keep the actions AFTER the "server validation" and they will run as long as you block the "on fail" event with an "Event loop".

Regards,
Max

Hi there,

Thats a good point Max, but I must agree with rbatista809, would be an exellent feature to add to CF.
Would give a lot help, and copy to any side a set of blocks, would also be great.
(P.S. Are there any place where I can ask these features? I think they are an excellent idea)

But rbatista809, in principle, my suggestion will work, do not forget the loop for the FAIL.

BN

I have related issue with Chronoforms_V5.0.10 version. I'm using joomla 3.3.0 and the installation is ok. But, as soon as creating new form and tries to view it form the front view it won't display even the demo forms won't show up on the frond end. Please kindly help with this. I really need this to work. 😟

Thanks in Advance!

Hi fekdan,

Impossible to tell from the information here. The most likely explanation is that you have CSS in your template that is hiding the forms. Please post a link to a page with a form on it so I can take a quick look.
