com_chronocontact/css+js instead of std joomla css (SOLVED)

Here is what I expect is an unusual question: I created some highly customized input fields abouta year ago and included them in chronoforms by pasting into the HTML CODE hook area. There were no other fields on the form. These fields were essentially a copy/paste of what he chronoform FORM wizard produced, which I then edited -- but kept all the original CSS.

Now I've installed the latest chronoforms engine and none of the CSS is right for these forms. The elements are therem, but the wrong CSS.

I checked the page source and see that a "real" chronoform produced by the FORM wizard includes all these files and more ...

   com_chronocontact/css/calendar2.css
   components/com_chronocontact/css/tooltip.css
   components/com_chronocontact/js/calendar2.js
   ...etc...

But the chronoforms that have all the fields in the HTML CODE hook area (rather than using a regular wizard created form), only have the standard joomla CSS. I suspect this is decided in the showform function of the chronocontact.html.php script.


Is there a clean way to get my overriden chronoform to include all the standard lines from the showform function? (I want to avoid copy/paste of those lines into each of my custom forms and don't want to edit standard chronoform files if I can avaoid it.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Frank,

On the form General Tab set "Load Chronoforms CSS/JS Files?" to 'Yes'.
