Embed CF6 Form into a module

KlingstedtBros 01 Apr, 2020
This seems like such a basic question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Documentation seems to stop at CF5.

I have a form with the alias contact-us. How do I embed it into an article or module? I've tried
{chronoforms}contact-us{/chronoforms}
{chronoforms5}contact-us{/chronoforms5}
{chronoforms6}contact-us{/chronoforms6}
None of them work.

Thanks.

The last one should work for v6, make sure your editor did not insert some hidden characters in the code you have added, you can check that when you view the source in the editor!

I found the completely undescriptively named "ChronoForms v6 TCPDF for Joomla 3.x" under downloads (by searching the forums as there is nothing about it in any documentation), and the instructions on the page say to use {chronoforms6}form-alias{/chronoforms6} to display the form inside article. I've installed the plug-in, checked that it was activated, and used to syntax it gave. Unfortunately, it's still not working.

I downloaded the module, and it works. However, I'd like to stylize the div container for the form, and include other elements with it, so this doesn't fit my purpose.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm running out. Thanks.

Are you using prepare content?

Hi KlingstedtBros,

Just checking - the manual I downloaded is called "Chronoform v6 manual" - nothing to do with TCPDF.

On page 7 it says "The form Alias is a unique string used for identifying the form, this string is automatically created when the form is saved, you need to use this string when you want to link the form to a Menu item or call it using the plugin shortcode: {chronoforms6}first-form{/chronoforms6} on Joomla OR [Chronoforms6 chronoform=”first-form”] on WordPress."

There is no CFv6 plugin to download and install as that capability is now built in to Joomla.

It appears as though it's working in articles but not modules. Is this intended?

If you want to show the form in a module then you use the Chronoforms module, if you want the form in article then you use the syntax code.
