Hi,

I just created a new form using 5.0.9 and the setup page is completely blank (see screenshot below). I'm using simple setup mode.

The strange thing is, I have an existing simple setup mode form made using an earler version of 5.x and the setup tab is displaying correctly for that one.

Here is the screen shot

Here is the tab HTML:

<div class="tab-content">
<div id="general" class="tab-pane" style="display: none;">
<div id="form-code" class="tab-pane" style="display: none;">
<div id="layout-wizard" class="tab-pane" style="display: none;">
<div id="events-list" class="tab-pane active" style="display: block;">
<div id="boxes-container" class="container" style="width:100%;">
<div class="row">
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="tab-content"> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row" style="display:none;">
</div>
</div>

Hi AlexRees,

It looks like there may be a JavaScript error on the page. Do you see anything in your browser web develop tools Console?

If not then possibly there is a PHP error, if so there is usually an error message buried deep in the page source.

These are the javascript messages I get on page load:

I also get the following when I click anywhere on the page:

Empty string passed to getElementById().

There aren't any errors generated specifically by clicking on the setup tab.

In terms of errors within the HTML, the only difference I could find is that the form with a blank setup tab has the following warning 35 times:

<b>Warning</b>:  strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in <b>/home/cboi/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/events/event.php</b> on line <b>25</b><br />

The form where the setup tab displays correctly does not have these warnings.

Hi AlexRees,

Please try setting site Error Reporting to System Default or None in the Site Global Configuration. That should hide the PHP Warnings and - fingers crossed - let the page re-display. If not we’ll look at the JS Error

Hi Greyhead,

Unfortunately I only set error reporting to be on to try and debug the problem, so it isn't the cause. Just to make sure, I switched it off and am still getting a blank setup page.

I just noticed there is a "new simple" button. If I create a form using that, the setup tab displays correctly. However, if I create a form using the "new" button and then switch the setup mode to "Simple" and save, then the Setup tab is blank.

I think I should be able to work around my problem by creating a brand new simple form, then switching the wizard off and copy and pasting my form code across.

Hi AlexRees,

Oh well - worth asking. By all means PM me the site URL, the form name, and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

I suspect the problem might be easily replicatable. Creating a form using the "new" button and then switching to simple mode seems to cause the problem every time.
