Good morning at all.

New of the forum and of chronoform, my question is: what is wizard elements builded for?

I was thinking that here i can set up elements to be used in the Form Wizard, but it is not.

I was looking in the forum but found nothing thaat can help me about that.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hi Ale,

The wizard elements need to be used with the wizard element place holder, add this new wizard element:

    <label style="width: 150px;" class="cf_label">Comments</label>
    
<?php
$editor		=& JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display( 'fulltext',  '' , '80%', '350', '55', '20', false ) ;

?>
    
  </div>

and set its title to {editor}

then you may insert the text {editor} using the place holder in the wizard and when you save the form, the form will have the code above which shows a Joomla content editor! you may use it for anything else! like a PHP code or whatever!

Hi Ale & Max,

Very helpful - now I've managed to get this to work.

Some important things to note:[list]

You must define and save the Wizard Element first

The name of the wizard element can be anything e.g. {xxp5

You must put *exactly* the same string in the Placeholder box e.g. {xxp5

Substitution is done when you save the Wizard so after that you can only make changes either by editing the Form HTML or by using Wizard Edit. When you save from Wizard Edit any changes in the Wizard Element will be included in your form.
