Hey Folks, I am having issues experimenting with placing a Chronoforms form in a JCE popup.

I have followed instructions I found here in the forum and the resulting popup shows a blank popup with the message "Form name can NOT be empty!".

The form is named so I do not understand why it is saying that. You cannot save a form in Chronoforms without having a name.

I have the Media Type in the JCE editor set to "External Links/Iframe" and I am using the link to the form according to the posts I have read in this forum (note the name of the form "pdftest" in the URL:

index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoformname=pdftest&tmpl=component

See screen shot.

test page is here: http://abcpackagingdev.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1032

Can anyone shed any light on this issue for me?

Forgot screen shot

Hi jjspelman,

You have a few problems here - you are using CFv5 so it needs to be option=com_chronoforms5; the name parameter is just chronoform=pdftest; and you have CSS in the site template that hides the form body so all you see is the strapline :-(

Thanks, Bob. I changed the option=... to chronoforms5 and I still get the same error.

Where in the css are you seeing the hidden form declaration??

Hi jjspelman,

The link on your test page is still incorrect (domain name removed)

<a href="/component/chronoforms/?chronoformname=pdftest&tmpl=component" target="_blank" data-mediabox-width="50%" data-mediabox-height="50%" class="jcepopup autopopup-single noicon" type="iframe">download</a>

This version works OK

/component/chronoforms5/?chronoform=pdftest&tmpl=component

The CSS is at line 604 of templates/rt_anacron/css/rt_anacron-custom.css

.chronoform {
    display: none;
}
