url submit form

hi guys.
problem...

i just installed cf and i really like it, but i am after one thing....
i would like to fill in and submit the form via url.
ie.
index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=5&name=test&lastname=last
i'd like my users to click on noe of 3 options and the form be filled and submitted.
any ideas?

Hi petesavva,

You can change the Form method from 'Post' to 'Get' on the Form General tab.
Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this?

Bob

Did that with no luck. For some reason it doesn't send...
Am I missing a setting?

Hi petesavva ,

Not that I know of - where are you submitting it to?

Bob

pretty plain jane form to my email address....

Hi petesavva,

Then Post should work OK and ChronoForms will send the Email for you.

Bob

but i want GET.... 😢

Hi petesavva,

I just dug around a little and ran a few tests. As far as I can see Joomla! hi-jacks the GET response and redirects to index.php so ChronoForms never sees it.

Bob

yeah i've been playing around a bit with it too.... no luck
i figured i'll use cf for all other forms on the site

joomla kind of hijacks the POST as well for what I am trying to do.
so I opted with a standalone php form just for submitting my forms from an app....
