Menu link - no alias error

dsimonse 16 Nov, 2022
Hi,

Trying to use CF7 menu as a hiddnen menu that I call on in a article.
Get "Error, form alias is empty!" but the form has alias and the menu-item has the alias.
Using as a Main menu works and as plugin but not as link in a article.

dsimonse,

I too had this error.

You need to set up a menu item (mine are hidden) and chose the type of Chronoform 7.

Then create the article with the body of the article to be the Chronoform 7 form title which you can copy out of the listings of forms you have.

Then paste that code for the form into the body of the article, my example is a form called "Membership". ie. {chronoforms7}membership{/chronoforms7}

You would then use the alias of the article you created.

Hope this helps. I'm no expert or even close, but am learning as I go.

Best,
Donna

Thanks Donna,
Thats looks like the solution I found myself - described above as the "plugin"-solution.
And you're right, that kind of works, but the menu-item still has this missing functionallity.

Hi all,

I'm using Joomla 3, so maybe this error is related to that?
When I use a Chronform-menu item, and do a link in the article it gets incomplete: "index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&view=form"
I had to add: "&Itemid=xxx" to make it work.
