CFv5 form in a .php file?

Hi!
How can I print a CFv5 form in a .php file?
Thanks!

Hi entumas,

I'm not sure that you can - what exactly do you need to do?

Bob

I need to put a form directly in the php file that shows my article (show.php)
No modules, no shorcodes.
What php function should I call to be shown a form?

<?php SHOW_FORM ?>

Thanks

Hi entumas,

This is Joomla or WP ?

Best regards,
Max

Joomla!, Max

Hi entumas,

You could try the approach show in this StackOverFlow answer

Bob

I don't understand... CFv5 don't have a function to print the forms? 😑

I have looked at the StackOverFlow link that you send me, but I also did not get it to work ...

Am I supposed to create a module to display the form?
Even so, I don't understand what to change.

Hi entumas,

ChronoForms is built to work with Joomla - you can show a form directly as a Joomla page; or you can use the ChronoForms plugin to show it in an article - or other components that support Joomla plugins; or you can use the ChronoForms module to show it in a template module location.

It is not designed to be called directly from a .php file

To use the StackOverFlow answer you would use the name of the ChronoForms module that you want to load.

Bob

What do you suggest is that I modify "dashboard_main" to "MY_FORM_NAME"?
In other words:

<?php
$modules  = JModuleHelper::getModules('MY_FORM_NAME');
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$attribs  = array();
$attribs['style'] = 'xhtml';
foreach ($modules as $mod) {
	echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($mod,$attribs);
}
?>

It just don't work😟

Hi entumas,

No, you'd need to add the form to a module and call the module name there.

Why do you need to do this from a PHP file?

Bob

Yes, that's how I did it, but it don't work.

I need to show that form in a space where there is no position for it

I need to show a contact form into item of a event's plugin (RSEvents)
This form is to be viewed in a modal window, the modal window will open with a button.

Now I have created an HTML/custom module.
In this module I have created the modal window structure + the form call:

<div class="modal fade" id="modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="modalLabel">
	{chronoforms5}My_form{/chronoforms5}
</div>

But it seems that the shortcode don't work inside the HTML/custom module...

What function do you use to display the form on a page?

Thanks!

Hi entumas,

You can show it in a modal window using a link to the form URL - and add &tmpl=component to the end to show the form without the template. Please see this FAQ

Bob

I don't see this solving the problem... If I do what you show me in the last FAQ I are in the same. How do I show the "Open modal" button in the place I need? (into php file)

I don't understand one thing.
You are a company specialized in Joomla !. I have been able to do this that I ask them in WordPress without any problem. In the version of WordPress you offer a shortcode to show the forms where you want, either in the content or in a php file.
Because they do not offer the same facility for Joomla! ?

Thanks

Hi entumas,

As I have no idea what your .php file does or where it is executed I can't give you any help with getting it to output a link. That is possibly in most Joomla! extensions.

And, yes, you are right - Joomla! and WordPress handle some things in different ways.

Bob

Hi,

If the other extension support loading plugins then you can simply use {chronoforms5}form_name{/chronoforms5}, all major extensions support this feature.
