Menu link to chronoforms V6

Create a working menu link to a ChronoForms v6 form.

Overview

The menu link incorrectly uses the `view` parameter instead of the `chronoform` parameter, causing an error that the form does not exist.
Update the ChronoForms component to the latest version or, in the menu item settings, manually add the form alias in the 'options' area.

When adding a menu link to chronoforms v6, link seems to be misfunctionning. It creates a link like this:
index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&view=form_alias
This leads to an error "Error, form does not exist."

When it should create a link like this to work correctly:

index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=form_alias

Is there a trick to make it work ?

(Apart from modifying into database)

Hi arrick,

If you have the latest update then you don't need that patch file.

I still have this issue with Joomla 3.8.6, Chronoforms 6.0.17, PHP 5.6.32 - can't choose a specific form and the menulink looks like this: Menu link to chronoforms V6 image 1
Of course no form is displayed (Error, form doesn't exist) . I can only link to a form via URL.

Please help!

Hi frogdog123,

Please add the form alias under the "options" area in the menu item settings!
