Hi. Pretty simple question. I would like to add a form in a joomla article and or a module

Hi nickza,
​
Pretty simple answer, download and use the ChronoForms v6 plugin and or module.
​
Bob

Thank you. Am I missing something because I cannot find the links for those plugins

Hello,
​
And with the latest update you do not need to install the Chronoforms6 content plugin in order to have the syntax {chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6} replaced by the form!
​
Best regards,
Max

Joomla v 3.9
chrono form v6
form not showing inside article just shows {chronoforms6}inquriy1{/chronoforms6} instead
whereas form as a menu component loads and works fine.
is there any config that needs to be enabled, for article in form loading, first?

Hello,
​
It should work fine inside article, please make sure that you do not have any special characters in the shortcode syntax!
​
Best regards

Hello,
since the Update 6.0.25 i have the same problem.
Any idea what i can do?

Hi Tigra,
​
You are using {chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6} in the article text ? and how do you view the article ? in the main page or in a module ?
​
Best regards

Same problem as shahid_0007 - form displays fine as a menu item but not in an article - just get {chronoforms6}renewal_form{/chronoforms6} on screen.
​
Article is being viewed as a page, not in a module.
​
Joomla version 3.9.10

Hi Andy,
​
Please take a look at the HTML on the page and check that the plugin code is 'clean' without any spurious characters or tags.
​
Bob

Hi Bob,
​
Many thanks for the quick response. The code is very simple -
​
<p>{chronoforms6}renewal_form{/chronoforms6}</p>
​
Andy

Hi Andy,
​
Technically HTML does not allow forms in <p> tags but most browsers apart from Microsoft ignore this and are OK. Using a <div is OK.
​
Otherwise that looks OK. Can you post or PM a link to the form page please.
​
Bob

Sorry for the delay Bob. Got hung up on something else.
Complete novice here so that tag was created by Joomla.
How do I PM you?
​
Andy

Hi Andy,
​
The HTML you actually have in the page is this
​
<p>{<strong>chronoforms6</strong>}renewal_form{<strong>/chronoforms6</strong>}</p>
​
Please remove all the spurious tags - including the <p> tags - and see if that works.
​
Bob

Hi Bob,
​
That's done the trick. Very useful to know as it's the Joomla editor putting the <p> in. It actually put it back in when I used the preview option and so it didn't work at first. I then edited the code directly to get rid and success.
​
Many thanks for your time and trouble.

Please help! Thank you in avdance!

Hi,
​
You have an extra character&#8203 (a zero-width space) in the HTML {chronoforms6&#8203}Form52{/chronoforms6}
​
Bob

I'm having trouble with the <div>{chronoforms6}hc_reservation{/chronoforms6}</div> plugin as well. I have checked the syntax and spelling but no joy. I tried to insert it as a module (<div>{loadposition hcresform hc_reservation}</div> but there is no joy there either. I'm trying to get v6 to work because I started having problems with nochaptcha in v5 that I couldn't resolve so I don't have much experience in this version.
​
The form displays and functions in the component (saves to the db and sends the email.
​
The error when added to a page is "Error: form does not exist or is not published" It is published in the V6 component. I had a form by the same name in the v5 component which I unpublished; that did not help.
​
Joomla 3.9.16; PHP 7.3.16;Chronoforms 6 Component 6.1.4; Module 6.0.1;Package 6.1.2
​
The manual is a little behind but I searched there too.
​
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi hcharris,
​
Please post a link to the pages you are testing so that we can take a quick look.
​
Have you installed the CFv6 module to see if that will let you load in a module?
​
Bob

Good morning, GreyHead. I installed the module and configured it as I understood. Both plugins are in the page. The plugin is rendering the message. Nothing is showing for the module.

​
Thank you for responding. I'm a long time user but new to v6. v5 worked so well for me, I was slow to convert. Pardon my naivete.

Carter

Hi Carter,
​
I get "Error, form does not exist or is not published." on that link
​
Bob

I agree. I have attached a screen shot showing the form list and the status (published, public). What am I missing?

Hi Carter,
​
No screen shot either :-(

Hi Carter,
​
You have used hc_reservation as the form name and hc-reservation as the alias - you need to use the alias in the form URL - you can see the form here
​
Bob

GreyHead, thank you for your help. I suppose I'm guilty of not reading carefully enough. Thanks, again.

Hi, I'm having a serious problem with chronoforms v6,
​
1.- When I try to use either the chronoforms module and assign it to a menu or by embedding it in an article by using the {chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6} I get this "Error 0: Call to undefined function G2\L\mb_convert_encoding()"
​

​
2.- When I try to view the form by using the "view" button I get the same error but in the admin.
​

​
I have already checked the spelling, the special characters, the tags, everything... and still I have found no solution.... help!

Is this the latest update installed ?
​
If yes then please go to your Joomla global config, enable the "Debug", try the module again, now take a screenshot of the whole debug report and post it!

Hello people.
I have the same problem as everyone, I can't render the forms.
