template override?

benjaminalbrechtcom 15 Nov, 2023
hi there,

(how) can I override ChronoForms v8's default form view template, I just want to wrap it in some bootstrap html.
I know how joomla's template override system works generally. Just ChronoForms folder
/components/com_chronoforms8/views/form/tmpl/
seeems more or less empty.

Thanks a lot!

Hi there, 

wow, it's been a full year now, since I bought the extension for a client. We did not get any answer since then, whatsoever.

Our question persists, and is now urgent. Could somebody please be so kind and answer our request? 

Thanks a lot, Benjamin

Chronoforms does not use this way for rendering the form, what HTML do you want to modify or add to the form page ? you may call the form from an article and place your HTML around the code there

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

I use Flexicontent, not com_content. And I need chronoforms within category pages.

Can you think of any smarter way achieving this other than:

a) display the chronoform as a module, then let flexicontent load that module

or 

b)

  1. create a hidden menu item of type: chronoforms form
  2. let flexicontent load that page as an iframe

Best regards, Ben

does flexicontent run Joomla content plugins ? if it does then you can install the joomla plugin and call the form using {chronoforms8}form-alias{/chronoforms8}

no problem, I hope it will work

if not then a system plugin will be needed, in that case you can use the plugin syntax even if flexicontent does not support running plugins
