This is my first post so excuse me if info is elsewhere. Have looked in docs and tutorials but I think I've done everything but still not visible. Form is published and enabled. Code in article is {chronocontact}homeform{/chronocontact} with form name "homeform". Plugin is installed and enabled and when I used Debug I can see the form but when I look at the article in preview, all I see is {chronocontact}homeform{/chronocontact}. Thankyou

Hi quality,

I don't think that plug-ins work in Preview - what happens when you view the article from the front-end?

I can only see it in Preview. I haven't been able to view the page externally - it's published but I can't view it. I am new to Joomla and haven't been able to work out how to see the page live. I have tried <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.xyz.com/home-form/">www.xyz.com/home-form/</a><!-- w --> and <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.xyz.com/home-form.php">www.xyz.com/home-form.php</a><!-- w --> but can't see the page. Perhaps it form is working but as you said the plug-in may not work in preview. I can also see the form in Debug and managed to send it (ie Submit it). It's just viewing it on the article page that's the problem.

Hi quality,

Try index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=XXX

and replace XXX with the id of the article shown in the Content Manager

Thankyou so much for your help. I can see it. It was obviously just the preview that it wasn't available in. My other problem is it's size. Do I have to post a new question or can I include it here? It relates to formatting issues - form size, layout, formatting etc.

Hi quality,

In general it's better to start a new topic for a different question as it's more helpful to other users looking for answers.

You can change the form CSS to change the layout if you needed it tightened up.

Thankyou - I will start a new topic. Thanks again for your help.
