Chrono Connectivity Component

Editor's Note
  • Displays a link back
Recently we migrated to Joomla 1.5 and I missed my FAQs component, there was no other FAQs components out there which I could consider and I had a long list of FAQs already written in my database table, I created this component to let me, show, edit, add, delete all FAQs I already have in a very easy and user friendly way, the steps are, choose your DB table, configure the frontend user interface templates (if you like) and then configure your own admin interface and save!! now you have a full working frontend/admin connection to one of your Database tables, I will not discuss here how much else you can do, check our faqs page here to see what I have done in 10 minutes : http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs.html Ask at the forums for any questions or code snippets ;)

Changelog for V1.2:
#1- better interface at admin area!
#2- all bugs and problems in V1.0 and V1.1 have been fixed!
#3- many new features, including ability for frontend users to add/edit/delete records and ability to add permissions on this!

Together with Chronoforms, this component is essential for any truly functional site. I have only just started using it and already the possibilities seem endless. The only limitation is my lack of programming knowledge.

Once again and excellent product with equally excellent support.

I have been using ChronoForms for a few years and one day I was asked to display back event registrations to authorised logged in users only. Enter ChronoConnectivity!

Since then I have built a couple of websites that are full blown applications (an affiliate book store and a real estate website) using ChronoForms to enter book and property details and ChronoConnectivity to display back the details in different required formats with appropriate security so that only the website owners can update the sites.

I am not a programmer but where a few lines of PHP code have been needed, I have been able to find examples on the very active ChronoEngine forums. I am so impressed that I purchased the unlimited subscription for ChronoForms last year and then the unlimited subscription for ChronoConnectivity today! I want to make sure these guys stay in business and continue to develop, improve and support these great products!

This has been invaluable to me and developments I have progressed. As a simple way of getting data out and into a database and displaying it back it is awesome.

Personally this for me is a must have.

I was already using Chrono Forms but this new component from Chrono is just as good.

You can quickly setup screens frontend/backend that allow to you view/add/edit/delete data from any tables.

I used it to setup an area where my users can add information about projects they've worked on.

You need an hour or two to get up to speed with the way it works and as always the forum support is brilliant so thanks again to both Max and Bob for the speedy replies that helped me when I needed it most.

I first tried ChronoEngines two other extensions, ChronoForms and ChronoComments, which are outstanding!

So, after the experience I had with those components, I decided to tryout ChronoConnectivity to create a page that pulled very specific data from with the DB table.. this thing is awesome! Very simple, but very powerful.

Oh, did I mention this was the first time I have ever used a DB query?? Or written ANY WHERE statements, etc?? The forum on Chronoengine.com has very useable info and when I posted a question it was always answered at light speed!

I was able to create, essentially what would've been a custom component, in about 30 mins.. at that's because I'm a newb at MySQL (Graphic Designer by prof. :D )

And most of all, if you're tired of downloading free extensions with support that matches the 'you get what you pay for' cliche', check these guys out!

Most importantly, lets all support developers like this. These guys are helpful to the highest degree, have developed truly great extensions and only ASK for us to buy a license to remove the credits in the footer. No encryption, to hassles,.. these guys are role models for the rest of us!

Great job and thank you again Max (and Bob) for all you help and support!

This component makes it easy to display data and edit it in the backend once you've imported it from another database. Great for moving data from a proprietary MySQL database to work in Joomla.

The admin area will be getting some more powerful data manipulation controls soon, and I'm very excited about those.

I've been using this developers "ChronoForms" for a little while now, and was looking for a way to display back the data recorded in my forms.
This new component does exactly that: Display back data recorded to your MYSQL database for the public to see.

This component is brand new, and is being developed continually, so make sure you download the latest patches from his forum.

Together with ChronoForms this is a almighty extension to bring your requested functionality to joomla. You don't have to wait until someone makes a special extension, you don't have to learn programming, only use ChronoForms and ChronoConnectivity and build your own extension.
