Place Form in a Module Position

Hi,

I was trying to set one Form in a Module Position, so I downloaded placehere.zip an installed it.
Pastet my Form with {chrononcontact}my_form{/chronocontact} in an Article.
Now if I open up the Article with the content view it propery shows my Form, but as soon as I select this Article with mod_placehere,
and publish it in a Module Position, it only gives out {chrononcontact}my_form{/chronocontact}.

Only tried the latest version of placehere.

Anyone an Idea?

Hi mariokrupik,

ChronoForms has it's own module that you can get from the Downloads area here.

Most likely something isn't published, perhaps the ChronoForms PlugIn?

I too am having issues with this.

I use {chrononcontact}my_form{/chronocontact} (with "my_form" replaced with the actual name of my form) and that is exactly how it shows up on the page... here is what I have installed.

Joomla 1.5.7

ChronosForms 3.0
mod_chronoscontact_v1.1_CFV3.0
Mambot V0.8

I use JCE editor and SH404SEF

I created a page using the Content, Article Manager, New...

I have gotten the Mod to place a form on a page linked from a menu, but I can't place a form on a page using {chrononcontact}my_form{/chronocontact}

Could something be interfering? Is there MySQL or PHP requirements?

HELP!

Thanks in advance,
Melvins

Hi melvins138,

My guess is that the ChronoForms plugin isn't published.

Bob

Later: replaced 'module' with 'plugin'

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the very speedy reply... I really appreciate your attentiveness.

By published, you mean, under "Extensions, Plugin Manager" that the plugin "chronocontact" is enabled? Because it is.

Or is this something that needs to be turned on in the actual ChronosForm component?

Thanks again,
Melvins

Hi Melvins,

Hmmm that should be all that is required. You are trying this in a standard content page?

Bob

I think I am...

As the Super Administrator, I click on Content -> Article Manager -> New (button) and then type some text about the form, and then place the code {chrononcontact}Alumni{/chronocontact}, and click save. I use the JCE editor, if that makes a difference.

Like I said before, I can place the Module in a position (user2) and assign it to a singlar (and All worked as a test too) menu, and get it to appear on a specific page. But the page I created isn't linked to a menu.

I have done a custom theme, but left all the elements from the core joomla installation that should be required. The content sets in a table that has a stylesheet attached, so the text of each article matches without the author having to chose a style. So could CSS styling maybe causing this?

Here is the content area code:

<td>
	<a name="content"></a>
	<div id="wrapper">
	<div id="<?php echo $showRightColumn ? 'main2' : 'main'; ?>">
	<?php if ($this->getBuffer('message')) : ?>
	<div class="error">
	<h2>
	<?php echo JText::_('Message'); ?>
	</h2>
	<jdoc:include type="message" />
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<jdoc:include type="component" />
	<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user2" style="xhtml"/>
	</div><!-- end main or main2 -->
</td>

Thanks,
Melvins

Hi Melvins,

That all sounds good and the 'component' tag in the template will load the content article. (The question was because not all components support Joomla Plugins.)

Is the site on-line? If it is and it's OK with you please PM or email me a Super ADmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

Near the bottom of the parameters for PlaceHere there is a radio button to turn on or off plug-ins. The default is Do Not Run Plugins, switch to Run Plugins.

Hi. I'm having the same problem... The module is showing up on the specified pages, but just shows the code as text... {chronocontact}EmeraldForm{/chronocontact} I have applied all of the suggestions listed in this thread. Any ideas?

Hi richart,

Use the ChronoForms module from the downloads area here.

Bob

Thanks so much... I'm not sure how I missed that the first time.
