How to embed form in article

Embed a ChronoForms V8 form in a Joomla article.

Overview

The issue occurs because the content plugin for CF8 is not installed or the incorrect shortcode syntax is used.
Install and enable the separate CF8 content plugin, then use the correct shortcode in your article. Alternatively, create a CF8 module and embed it using the Joomla editor's module button.

I found the solution by myself.

Add module of type chronoforms8
Write the alias of the form
Set position to none
Inside the article content you want to embed the form Click the joomla buttons in tinymce click to module and choose the module.

Hi Marco, {chronoforms8}formalias{/chronoforms8} does work, but you have to install and enable the CF8 content plugin which is separate to the main CF8 install.

Hi

Both solutions are correct, but of course the easiest one is just installing the content plugin as CraigH has noted.
