General joomla/Gantry 5 style tag assegnation on CF 8 modules

Assign Gantry 5 responsive utility classes to a ChronoForms module in Joomla 5.

Overview

The issue occurs because Joomla 5 moved style tag assignment from general module settings into the module itself, and the required module class setting was missing.
Download and install the separate CF module file from the downloads page, then use the new 'Module Class' field in the module's advanced settings to apply the Gantry 5 classes.

In Joomla 5 there is no longer the possibility to assign a general style tag (which works on the module) in the advanced properties of the modules, but this should be assigned within the module itself. Where can I assign a Responsive Utility Class (from Gantry5) in CF8 so that I can display or not display the module on different devices?

I have updated the module download file to include the "Module Class" property in the advanced module settings, does this help you apply the gantry5 class ?

Before answering you I downloaded CF8 again and reinstalled. I then cleaned the browser cache (including Android). I attach the screenshot of the joomla module setting I tested. The Gantry 5 class only acts on the module title (g-title) and not for the entire CF8 form module. By inserting and removing that class the title (g-title) of the module appears or disappears. In my opinion you should insert this setting in the "Settings" tab of the individual CF8 forms.

no, you need to download and install the MODULE file, not the main extension, they are on the same downloads page, then you will find a Module Class setting

Sorry; I was convinced that all the parts of the component (including the module) were integrated into the extension.

I reinstalled the module and now it works! Very thanks Max!!

I see that the plugin is disabled; is this correct?
