Hello,
I installed Chronoforms V5 and built a simple form with required fields.
But in the front end, there are no asterix signs visible on the required fields. And when I hit the Send-Button, there is no verification, if the field is empty or not...
I also tried the simple example form, but that does not work either.
What could be the problem?
On the Code Tab the form type is "Wizard designer".
Do you have any ideas what could be the problem?
Greetings

Hi Judith,
That sounds like a JavaScript error on the form page. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi
Watching the outcome with interest - I've got a similar case. The asterisks were present when I started designing and testing the first form, but vanished part way through the design process and haven't reappeared yet. Not currently a problem for me, since there are only a couple of rarely used private forms involved.
Hi Hannon,
But what about the fields ? are they checked for validation or not ?

Sorry - should have mentioned that. No, like Judith, verification's not working either (but was until part way through the design). No problems with server-side verification of course, so again not causing a major problem.
Hi Hannon,
Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hello,
sry, I cannot send an link at the moment. The Website is not online yet... Or ist there any way to send an link, if the site is down?
I tried the serverside verification, but it is ignored also... I have a recaptcha Field, and this is the only time, when the form gives feedback... when the code is not entered correctly...
How could I fix a Javascript error on the front page?

I have tried to find an javascript error...
When I hav an Mouseover on a formfield I get this message:
TypeError: jQuery(...).tooltip is not a function
I don't know if this helps...

Hi Judith,
Very hard to tell without seeing the site. When you say it isn't on-line what exactly does that mean? Is it just on a local server or is it on a web-host but in maintenance off-line mode? If the latter you can PM a login and we can look.
If the Serverside validation isn't working then you probably need to add an Event Loop action to the pink On Fail event.
The error you posted suggest that maybe jQuery isn't being loaded. Does it work if you switch temporarily to one of he default Joomla! templates?

Hi Greyhead,
With the default template, the form works just fine... so it is an issue with my template? I use a A4joomla template... Du you have any idea how I could find the error in the template?

Hi Bob,
what I found out is, that the class of a formfield looks like this:
class="validate['required'] form-control A"
I guess it should look like thie
class="validate['required'] form-control A"
I don't know why the default template seems not to be affected by this...

Hi Bob,
the jqueryeasy Plugin works! Thanks a lot!
The asterix are showing and the verification works, too!!!
Could you tell me, how I could reduce the size of the asterix sign?
Greetings
Judith
ok, I found it out.
.chronoform .fa-asterisk {
font-size: 7px !important;
}
Greetings

Hi Hannon,
I'm really not sure where the root cause lies. ChronoForms loads it's own version of jQuery (unless you use jQueryEasy) and doesn't use the jQuery UI tooltips - at least I don't think it does. It all gets a bit complicated too quickly :-(
Good to hear that it's working OK now.
