Add ChronoConnectivity to article?

Can you add a ChronoConnectivity to an article similar to the way you do a ChronoForm (i.e using something like {chronocontact}form_name{/chronocontact} in the HTML)?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to list a number of items from a table in the database(for example a number of pictures submitted by users using ChronoForm) and then have a visitor vote for one of these items via another form at the end of the page by entering the picture number and his e-mail address (which will then be recorded to a separate voting table in the database and will be authenticated based on the e-mail address).

I tried to add {chronocontact}form_name{/chronocontact} to the ChronoConnectivity Footer but it does not work.

I assume you would need a Plugin similar to chronocontact.php?

Any other way to do this?

Hi gert,

There is no plugin for ChronoForms but you may be able to use a General Purpose plugin to get it to work. Someone posted today about using one to get ChronoConnectivity to display in a Module.

PS You could also do this whole page with ChronoConnectivity adding the text and form in the header or footer boxes and putting a checkbox or link by each image.

Hi Bob,

thanks for the reply. I like the idea in your PS.

If I may ask - what code would i need to add to the body in order to include a checkbox/radio button per image?

THanks

Hi gwza,

Just the normal HTML but with some entry to identify the record that it belongs to. Here's a link I used to connect to an edit form recently

<a href='index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=add_user&task=edit&cf_id={cf_id}'>edit</a>

For a checkbox I guess it would be something like

<input type='checkbox' name='vote[]' id='vote{cf_id}' value='{cf_id}' />
