Embedded Form don't work - call form in PHP

Hello,
in Joomla (3.8.6) I would like to install a Chronoform V6 form in a self-written component (address directory).

Logic: ... bla..bla .. IF ($address-> email) { show mailform } ... bla ..bla ..
​
I have tried 2 ways to show the form:

1. As PopUp:
   JHTML:: _('behavior.modal');
   <a class="modal" id="load_chrono" href="/index.php?option=com_chronofrom6&chronoform=mailform&tmpl=component" rel="{handler:'iframe', size:{x:500, y: 649} }"> Send mail </a>
   That way, it works well.
   
2. Embedded:
   $ module = JModuleHelper :: getModule ('mod_chronoforms6', 'mailform');
   if ($ module-> id) {echo JModuleHelper :: renderModule ($ module);}
   That way, the form will be displayed but will not work.
   No validation, no calendar, .... no functionality.
   Not even if I adjust the action URL in Form-> Setup.

Unfortunately only the 2nd way fulfills my purposes.
Thankful for help or any idea
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
​
At a guess the second method is not loading any of the ChronoForms support files into your modal window.

First of all let me thank you for the quick response :-)
​
May be it could be a misunderstanding?
1. is modal (modal iframe) and it works well.
2. is embedded: should renderModule($ module) under the condition that email is stored in database.
Unfortunately 2. is suitable. Form is rendered in place but did not work proper.
​
Is it reasonable/possible to load/include Chronoforms support files manually .
And if so, which are necessary.

Hi Thomas,
​
Have you checked to see if the CF support files are being loaded?

Hi Bob,
there is an essential difference in the html source of the two different variants.
In the embedded version the following script-code is missing:
<script>
setInterval(function (){jQuery.get("https://www.dialyse-online.de/index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=mailform&tmpl=component "); 300000);
jQuery(document) .ready(function ($){$.G2.forms.invisible();
$ ('body'). on ('contentChange.form', 'form', function (e) {e.stopPropagation();
$.G2.forms.ready($(this));});
.$('Form')trigger ('contentchange');});
</ Script>
<script type = "text / javascript">
jQuery(document) .ready(function ($){$("div.G2-joomla")trigger ("contentchange.");});
</ Script>
​
In which file is the script inserted / where does it come from?
​

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
​
Sorry, I have no idea where that script comes from. I did a search but did not locate it.

Hi Bob,
​
So did i befor (with clean unzipped chronoform6 component) ...
Well then I will continue searching
​
​
anyway, thanks a lot
Thomas
And by the way: Chronoform is a great componente. Very usefull and comfortable.

Thanks a lot Max!

file_get_contents

... works perfect!
​

Thomas

Sorry, it's me again
"... works perfect!" was a little early :-(
I inserted the form via file_get_contents and the funtionality is well given on desktop PC but not on mobile devices (tablet, smartphone)
No hints for required fields and no calendar, ...
AND i did it the same way on an other page (same website) and it works on all devices?!?
​
Any ideas or suggestions
​

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
​
You may try the plugin workaround then and use PHP code to process the plugin syntax.
​

$mainframe = \JFactory::getApplication();
 $contentParams = \JComponentHelper::getParams('com_content');
 $dispatcher = \JDispatcher::getInstance();
 $type = 'content';
 \JPluginHelper::importPlugin($type);
 $context = '';
 $rowPlg = new \stdClass();
 $rowPlg->text = '{chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6}';
 $results = $mainframe->triggerEvent('onContentPrepare', array($context, &$rowPlg, &$contentParams, 0));
 echo $rowPlg->text;

​
Best regards
