Launching a form from a hyperlink.

natloz 05 May, 2016
I have a Joomla site with a menu option that opens a Tabulizer table with hyperlinks on each row. The hyperlink is intended to open a Chronoforms in the same "Position" as the table which is in the main content area of the site. I am providing the following as my hyperlink as an example: https://www.myproblem.ca/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=ProblemReview&cf_id=45

When I click the hyperlink, it opens the entire website in the same Position as the originating table, instead of just the form...can you help figure this out?

Hi natloz,

I'm not exactly sure how to do this. If you use an iFrame in a module to show the Tablulizer table then I think the form will replace it.

Originally I was hoping to create a hidden menu for the form and launch that, but then I can't pass parameter to the URL for the Chronoform to interpret. How do people launch Chronoform into edit mode from anywhere?

Ok, I just figured it out!!! Woo hoo!
If you add the tag with <a href target="_parent"> then it opens the link outside of the iframe.
You can put this in your trunk of knowledge!

Thanks for your prompt response.
