Update to 5.03 destroys forms with Bootstrap 3.20

RobP 14 Nov, 2014
After updating form chronoforms 5.02 to 5.03 all my forms with bootstrap 3.20 are unusable.
Uninstalling chronforms and reinstalling 5.02 with the same forms does not help, only the backups still work with 5.02.

I use a Bootstrap 3.20 template and use a lot of Bootstrap 3.2 on my site, apparently this is a problem with chronoforms 5.03, setting the style to none or GcoreUI does not help.

The backups form the chronoforms 5.03 site can be restored on the chronoforms 5.02 site and still work, only not if 5.03 was deleted and 5.02 reinstalled.

Hi Rob,

How "unusable" exactly ? what gets broken ?

Hi RobP,

There appears to be lot of custom HTML in the page - or maybe parts of ChronoForms that I'm not familiar with.

The second file you uploaded just has a tiny snippet of the code from the first file. but from way down in the middle of the page - about line 1300 everything before and after is missing.

Running the full page through HTML Tidy there are a few errors and a mountain of warnings. The only ones that might be relevant here are some missing quotes which break the HTML e.g.
<div class=btn-group' data-toggle='buttons' id='behand_bedr' name='behand_bedr' >

Hi Bob,

Thanks for looking at my code.
It helped me solve the problem.

The update replaced the Cegore libraries (and deleted all my custom PHP and javascript files).
The files used in the second example are from a backup with older versions of those files, working but not yet cleaned up.

After putting the PHP and javascript files back the form works with Chonoforms 5.03

A warning that custom files will be deleted with the update seems a good idea.

Hi Rob,

I wouldn't expect the CF version upgrade to delete any new custom files :-( It would over-write any modified CF files though.

Unless you uninstalled before reinstalling - then I think that the CF folders and any files in them would be removed in the uninstall. Normally the upgrade only requires that you install 'over' the existing installation without uninstalling.

Hi Bob,

I didn't expect it to, but the Cegcore libraries are deleted and the new version installed.
All the custom files in the helper, js and css directories are gone.

I didn't know that too, maybe this is how the library update works, you can try to add your files in the com_chronoforms5 directory or somewhere else instead.
