This procedure describes how to set up a simple form using mostly text fields using ChronoForms version 5.

Getting Started: Select a form

• Log into the Joomla! administrator page for your web site
• Click on Components > ChronoForms5:
  
  
• Ignore the message "Your ChronoForms installation onwebdevel.sas.rutgers.edu is NOT validated."  Chronoforms will still work.
• In the Forms Manager, click the name of the form you would like to enable email for:
  
  
• Click on the Designer tab (see #1 below).
• Take note of the Field Names of the form fields that are used to collect the submitter's name and email address. The Field Name is shown in the upper left corner of the field in a blue box (see #2 below).  You may have separate fields collecting "First Name" and "Last Name" - if so, take note of both field names.

• Click the Advanced tab above the list of Basic options (see #6 below).
  
  
  
  
• Under the Advanced options, enter the field name containing the submitter's email address in the Dynamic Tofield (see #1 below). This will send a copy of the email to the person submitting to the form.
• Enter the field name or names containing the submitter's name in the Dynamic from name field (see #2 below).  For example, if the form asks the submitter to enter their full name in a field called "name", enter "name" here.  If the form asks the submitter to enter the first name and last name in separate fields called "firstname" and "lastname", enter "firstname lastname" here.
• Enter the field name containing the submitter's email address in the Dynamic from email field (see #3 below):

What's next?

If needed, you can configure your form to save information to a database.

You can also embed your form within an article.

This procedure describes how to save the data from a form you have updated to a new database table, using ChronoForms version 5.  This step is necessary if you add new fields to a form that saves its data to a table.  A new table needs to be created in order to capture data entered into the new fields.

Backup the old data table

• Log into the Joomla! administrator page for your web site.
• Ignore the message "Your ChronoForms installation onwebdevel.sas.rutgers.edu is NOT validated."  Chronoforms will still work.
• In Forms Manager, find the form and select the existing table from the dropdown menu for Connected Tables
• Click Backup tableto export the entire form to a CSV file.
• Save that file and open it to verify that all the data has been saved.
• Click Cancel to return to Forms Manager.

Creating a new data table

• Back in the Forms Manager, check the box to the left of the form that you would like to configure to save data.
• Click the Create table button at the top.
• At the Create table page, replace the "#__" portion of the Table Name with the actual database table prefix for your web site (e.g. j17_ or j25_).
• (Optional) Clear the check boxes for any fields that you do not need to save into the database (for example, "captcha"). Do not unselect the "cf_id" field since it is the primary key!
• Click Save to the upper right. 

Modify the form to save data to the new table

• In Forms Manager, click on the name of the form with the new table.
• Click the Setup tab.
• Click Data Save (11).
• Verify that "Enabled" = "Yes"
• For "Table name" select the newly created table.
• Click Save.
• (Optional) Click the DB Viewer tab at the top and enter field names. They will be added as columns to the table's list view for this form. Without doing this, the table list preview will only show an ID number and the "Created Date/Time". Doing this makes the list show useful information.
• The format to use here is (one entry per line): field_name=whatever column heading you want. The field name comes from the field settings. It should not contain any spaces or special characters. The column heading can be different.
• Click Save and Close.

This procedure describes how to embed a form within a Joomla! article using ChronoForms version 5.

The Chronoforms5 plugin must be installed and enabled on the website in order for this functionality to work.

Also, "Force HTTPS?" must be set to "Entire Site" in the Global Configuration for the website.  Do not collect data if HTTPS is not being enforced for the entire website.

Getting Started: Get the form name

• Log into the Joomla! administrator page for your web site
• Click on Components > ChronoForms5:
  
  
• Ignore the message "Your ChronoForms installation onwebdevel.sas.rutgers.edu is NOT validated."  Chronoforms will still work.
• In the Forms Manager, take note of the exact name of the form as it appears in the Form Name column.  The Form Name will appear above any Form description that may exist for the form.  The Form Name will appear as a link and will not have any spaces or special characters other than dashes or underscores. In the below example, the Form Name is "new-form-cf5" while the Form description is "New Chronoforms V5 Form."
  
  
• Select an article to edit following steps 1-3 of Editing Articles or create a new article.
• Enter the following code within your article in the place where the forms should appear:
  
  { chronoforms5 }[form-name]{ /chronoforms5 }
  
  Do not type the spaces before or after the braces.  Replace [form-name] with the actual Form Name.  Your text box should then look like this:
  
  
• If you are editing the article from the front end of the web site, click the Save button to the upper left to save your changes and close the article.
• If you are working in the Joomla! Administrator, to save your changes and continue editing the article, click the Save button to the upper left: 
• If you are working in the Joomla! Administrator, when you are done editing the article, click the Save & Close button to the upper left:
• Your form will now appear within your article.

This procedure describes how to save data from a form to a database table, using ChronoForms version 5.
