Form is not appearing (RC 1.4)

TBolt 26 Feb, 2011
Hi.🙂 I installed ChronoForms v4 in Joomla 1.5.22 - ChronoForms 3 is still installed, as well.

I just created a new form using CF4 RC 1.4, and I was sure to 'publish' the form. I also validated my ChronoForms installation. For some reason, the form does not appear.

I am using RocketTheme's Omnicron template. Is there an obvious step that I missed - I do not see any documentation, yet.

Your help is appreciated very much. Thank you!

Hi TBolt,

Did you drag a Show HTML Action into the OnLoad Event box?

There are a couple of useful videos linked from this tutorial post that I suggest you have a look at.

Thank you, Bob! The videos were helpful.

I do not see a way to add our own text to the web form. For example, I like to add some instructions at the top of my web forms, like "Please use this contact form to submit your inquiry or call us at 555.555.5555 ext 100."

Is there currently a way to add our own text?

Thanks again, Bob! 🙂

Hi TBolt,

Drag over a Custom Element Action where you want Free text (or PHP code) to be included in your form.

By default it will include a label and the usual ChronoForms <div> tags but if you check the 'Pure Code' box in the action setup only the HTML / PHP in the box is used.

I see. Thank you, Bob.

I hope you're writing a book for Version 4 - we're going to need it. Put me down for 1 copy (eBook form preferred). 🙂

Hi Tbolt,

Not yet . . . I'm still finding my way around, but hopefully later in the year there will be a new edition.
