Hi from a first timer with Joomla, ChronForms and this forum !

I have created a simple contact form based on the "demo-basic-contact-captcha" demo file.

It is initialed from a menu
The form seems to work perfectly handling basic field checks and successfully emailing sender and recipient.

The only issues I have is that is says "Form not found or is not published" on loading and "Form not found or is not published" on the "Thank you!".

I have tried searching and can find no solutions that work. The debug option shows no errors.

Any suggestions greatfully received!

Pete

Hello pete,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How to post information from a Chronoform to ZoHo
What are the 'Easy Form' and 'Form' Wizards?
How can I add a mask to format a form input?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi Pete,

Please post a screenshot for your "Setup" section.

Max

Hi Pete,

What is the URL that shows on the Thank You page?

Bob

Hi Bob, I am redoing the reply as it does not seem to have appeared.

The URL is
http://www.doggycentre.com/members-area/staff/contact-form?chronoform=doggycentrecontact&event=submit
Currently it is behind a userid and password.


Hi Max...

hopefully its here

Hi Pete,

The Form Setup looks good to me. The URL does not - the problem is most likely that the SEF URL is preventing the form from submitting.

Please try setting Relative URL to No in the form HTML (Render Form) action in the Setup tab and see if that fixes the problem.

Bob

Hi Bob...

It already is set to No.
I found that somewhere reference else.

Pete

Hi Pete,

Are you using an SEF Component like sh404SEF?

Bob

Hi Bob
I don't know what an SEF component is. How would I know.

Hi Pete,

Please post a screenshot for the form with the "not found" message.

Max

Bingo!!!
That fixed it although I don't understand the technicalities.
What is the menu item actually using?
Can I delete the module from the modules manager?
Many thanks...
Pete

Hi Pete,

Yes you can delete the module.

You can display content in Joomla under a menu item or inside a module, and since you have a menu then you don't need the module, which was not configured correctly anyway and hence the "form not found" message.

OK, that makes sense.

Many thanks to you all for the help.

Now I need to do a bit more self education!! LOL

Cheers...
