view=form

jimmyt 19 Oct, 2022
Hi,

Similarly to a previous post concerning an earlier version of chronoforms, when I create a Joomla 4 menu item and choose ChronoForms7 -> Form view as the menu item type, the link that shows up in the menu item details is index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&view=form, and the actual url that shows up when clicking on the menu item is https://myhost.com/myform.html?view=form

The form works fine if I manually get rid of "?view=form" and press enter in the address bar.

How do I get rid of the "view=form"? Or am I not supposed to create a menu item the way I did?

Hi

Using SEF URL, it works very well for me with this syntax:
https://myhost.com/alias_item_menu?view=form

I agree it works; what I am saying is that it also works without "?view=form", and I don't want "?view=form" even though it works.

So, I don't know.
May be, modifying link items with php_myAdmin in your database table... May be using a Joomla redirection.. May be using Using URL Rewriting...

Sorry, but I have enough work to help with what doesn't work!

I still get this ?view=form after the URL in Chronoforms 8 Premium, while it's fine and everything works, I think it's flagged as unfriendly URL, anyone knows how to correct it? Thanks.

Hi Alistair

This is coming from Joomla, one solution is to show the form inside an article page using the Plugin, that would not have the "?view=form"

Hello, I've been having this problem for a while now with CF8. I think the developer needs to adjust their routing! It's very annoying, for example, with canonical URLs. Currently, I'm solving it quite laboriously by adjusting the entries in the table. The only annoying thing is that when I access the menu link as an admin, my link breaks. I hope a solution will be found soon.

Ok, I have added a router file to the next update to remove the view parameter, hopefully this will fix the issue you are having.

The routing seems to be working, nice!But: checkboxes aren't usable?!

I fixed the checkboxes issue and updated the live download file.
