Question about retrieving the page title in Chronoforms 8

Question

Hello,

I have been happily using Chronoforms for years, but I’ve now run into an issue.

In Chronoforms 7, I could easily use the {document:title} shortcode to retrieve the title of a page. Is this option also available in version 8? I haven’t been able to find it.

I discovered that with Read Data, I can fetch the title from the content table, but this retrieves all titles, whereas I only need the title of the page where the form is being displayed via a module. This title is the car type, which is automatically filled in for the applicant.

How can I solve this in Chronoforms 8? In version 7, this was much easier using {document:title}.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Ron

Hi Ron

You can use this code in a PHP action:

$document = Joomla\CMS\Factory::getDocument();
return $document->getTitle();

then you can use the action variable:

{var:php_action_name}

I will also add this to the next v8 update shortcodes so that you can still use {document:title}
