Hi.
I am new in all terms. I installed the component in my web page and I followed the instructions to create a simple form. I have not seen any instructions on how to post the form on the web page. Would you pleae help. I need the instructions on how to post it and make it work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gabriela,

To have the form display in your website you will need to go to your menu manager and create a new menu item (be this to the main menu, top or anywhere else). When you go to add a new one you should now see chronoforms in the list as well as articles and so on.

Select chronoforms, and then you have the ability to input the name (as you saved it) of the form you wish to use. Publish it and voila😉

Dont forget though you will need to include items on the left, right etc if you manually assign these for things like notices etc.

Regards,

Tom.

I did so and yet all I get is a link where the form should be post: joomla professional work
I also try posting a module and it didnt work either.
I am loosing hopes on using this component on my website.
Please help.
thanks for your prompt reply.

Gabriela,

Is the form published? and enabled? (see attached imaged)

Also if you look at the "Name" and then look at the below image where it says "Form Name" are they both identical?

The form is published but not enable. How can I enable it? When you refer to the "name" and the "form name" , I know where to find the form name... where is the "name" you are refering to?
Thanks again...

Hi Gabriela,

The name is on the left hand side (if you look at the first image above on the left you will see a column called "Name").

First of all click on the second tab called "Setup Emails". The square box should be green if you have enough valid data in here. Click on the green area and look at the properties box on the right hand side. The 3rd option down is called "Enable", this should be set to "Yes".

Once you have done this go back to the first tab, and the second option down is called "Email the results ?", make sure you change the option for this to "Yes" also. Then save the form and it should then be up and running for you.

Regards,

Tom.

Thanks for all your help. I started from step no.1. It is know enable, but I am still getting the same link line and nothing else. I create a menu with chronoform. Ithen created a module with a menu and I choose on this menu. At the end, I'm still getting the same linked "joomla professional work"
I am sorry...
I would realy love for this to work.
Thanks again.

Gabriela,

In that image above, next to the "Name" colum there is a link. Copy and paste this into your address bar AFTER your domain name.

So leave the http://www.domain.com/
Then add that link behind it so it becomes

http://www.domain.com/index.php.....etc

If you do this and click go, do you see the form then ?

Regards,

Tom.

Hi Gabriela,

first of all, whats your Chronoforms version installed ?

do you have a form created in the "forms manager" ? how did you create it ? through the wizard ?

in the forms manager, there is a link beside the form, click it and it should open the form, what happens when you click it ?

Tom,
I did as you said, I copy and paste the link after my address and I cannot see the form.

Max,
Yes, my chronoform version is installed. Yes, I creat a form using the form wizard. When I clic on the link I get the nothing. I can see the page where the form should be posted but with the following link: joomla professional work. If I click on this it takes me out of my web page.

PLEASE HELP...

Hi Gabriela,

which version do you have installed ? in the form manager check the form and click "wizard edit" in the top right, what happens ? can you see your form ?

Max

Wow you guys are awesome, answering even easy questions with patient. I am posting my question here because it seems like it's pretty related to this topic. I am also very new to Joomla and Crone. Basically I figured out how to create a link to my form that is created by Crone but i couldn't figure out how to display it in an existing page that is already created and has some content in it. If this question is not clear enough please let me know.
Thank you!

you mean an article page ? you need the mambot using {chronocontact}formname{/chronocontact}, search the forums for "displaying the form inside article"

Cheers
Max

Max,
Sorry for not responding quicker, just got busy. Thank you very much for your response. I tried that and it worked. Awesome!
