I actually decided to install Joomla on my site for the sole purpose of trying out your form product and I must say I am impressed! I'm sure I will be purchasing a license because a well made product like this deserves financial support!
I must also compliment you on your tutorials and forum... I ran into a few problems making my first form but was able to find the solutions on my own thanks to your extensive help options.
I do have one question I could not find an answer to, but I assume it's because I am not using the correct search terms, or perhaps it is more of a Joomla oriented question.
I was wondering if it is possible to make a form the default home page for my site. As I said, I only installed Joomla for the purpose of using your form product so I don't plan to use it for anything else right now. The perfect situation would be for a user who enters my domain URL to go right to the form. Is this possible? If this question is inappropriate for this forum, can you suggest where I can find the answer?
Thank you again for this wonderful product!

Hi msm,
Probably the simplest way to do this is either to publish an articel on the Front Page and embed the form using the ChronoForms Plugin or to use the ChronoForms module to put the form inside a module on the front page - the difference is mostly one of layout in your template.
You could also force redirection from the Front page to the form but this is not as good a solution.

Thanks... I'll do some more research to see what the difference is between a "module" and a "plugin" (keep in mind I'm brand new to Joomla-speak). 😀
Hi msm,
At the core of Joomla content are articles - entries with text and pictures that usually are shown in the main part of the page.
A Joomla Plugin is a code 'hook' that tells the Joomla page interpreter to insert something into the article: an image, a form, a search box . . . almost anything is possible these days. Typically the 'hook' looks like {some_plugin}some_parameter{/some_plugin} Though some plugins work in different ways they are all tools that are called to carry out some special function.
A Joomla Module is a location on the page that is specified by the template. Often if you go to the Admin Template editor and Preview the template you can see the module positions in your template. MModules are used to contain and show repeating items of code - menus, headers, footers, and some special items, search boxes, debug reports, and some are used to show additional items of information like forms.
By default the Chronoforms extension shows a page as a Joomla content item on a page of its own.
The ChronoForms Plugin (also called a Mambot in earlier versions of Joomla) lets you insert a form into an article.
The ChronoForms Module allows you to insert a form into a module positions on some or all pages of your site.
