ChronoConnectivity vs ChronoForms for Product Registration

gouz 26 Dec, 2014
Hi!
I am interested in purchasing your product, however I'm a bit confused about whether it could help me do what i need..
If only someone could provide me with some infos about the followings please!
1) What exactly is the difference between ChronoConnectivity and ChronoForms.
2) What are the differences between ChronoForms component, module and plugin ? I am asking this cause I would like to keep things simple and install only necessary stuff for what i need.

Now.. What i need to do..
I would like to create a product registration form, where already registered people will be able to register the product they bought* (from my Virtuemart store) and this way give them access to specific files, related to those registered products.

*[My best/simple thought would be to provide 3 fields in this form:
1) Field for date of product's purchase**.
2) A dropdown list with all products, so registar can select his specific from within***.
3) Field for product's serial number****.
If the registration process will be valid, then***** he should gain access to product's related specific files (drivers/manuals/firmwares) due to extra permissions of new assigned User Group]

**[Only accept past dates (before current i mean)]

***[For the product chosen in the list, i would like the form (after registration completion) to automatically assign the user to a new extra User Group (without unassigning him from his previous one)] <- could your component/s do that?

****[It would be a plus if i could have somekind of live serial number validation - though its not mandatory because i could instead just validate and activate his registration manually. What kind of validation could i install? Can i check if a serial is inside a database? Or maybe if it has a "valid" form (like serial number with 8 digits, with the first 2 digits starting from some specific letters)]

*****[Could i also give an option to the users, to be able to view their registered product's informations (without being able to re-edit them)? Maybe with a personal menu button, linking to their registered product's list]

This is what i need to do. Could someone advise me whether this component/module/plugin is what i need? And maybe some tips or their thoughts?

Thx for your time!

Hi gouz,

ChronoForms creates forms; ChronoConnectivity allows you to display lists from database tables and link them to forms for editing.

Please see this FAQ for the component, module, plug-in question.

Yes ChronoForms can do all the things that you list. Some of them may require some custom coding.

Is there any way i could test your softwares as trials? Without first buying them.
I need to know the impact of "Some of them may require some custom coding."

Hi gouz,

Yes, the free versions are fully functional. Please see this FAQ for more info.
