I've created a quick contact form that I would like to place within a module in the header of my site. The form appears and functions perfectly when published in an article, but displays only the text "{chronocontact}QuickEnquiry{/chronocontact}" when published inside a module. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Ant

Hi Ant,
I assume that this is ChronoForms v4? If so there isn't an official module yet - though I'm sure it will arrive before too long.
You may be able to find another module that supports plug-ins and will work with the ChronoForms plug-in to display your form.

Hi Bob,
We're using version 3.1 RC5.5, according to our Joomla install. Is there a specific module we should be using to display the form? It doesn't appear to work in the 'Custom HTML' module, or in the 'Joomla 1.5 HTML' module.
Here's the code we're using:
Like I said, it works fine in an article, but just displays the "curly bracket" code when we put it inside a module.

Ant

The plugin v4 does work within a module in Joomla 1.6...sort of.
There seems to be a routing issue when using ANY form on the homepage of your site (in a module, within content or as a menu component). It sends you to a 404 page (see attached screenshot):

I've noticed on all the forms I've created that the action parameter of the form element doesn't point to ChronoForms at all—a change from previous versions which used "?option=com_chronocontact...". Perhaps that has something to do with it?
I was able to work around it by placing a manual submit URL that points the form to a hidden menu item of the same form as a ChronoForm menu component. But this really should be addressed as it appears to be a larger issue.
