Hi,
I have a side menu that I want to be visible with this form. How do I do that? I'm new to Joomla, so my apologies if this is a basic question.
Thanks!
Do you want a link on the menu or do you want the form to show in the same area as the menu?
The later. I want my "contact options" menu to display with the contact form.
The way I did it on my site was to create a module and place it in the area you want to appear.
Okayy, so, i have the menu module, and when I edit that module's options, I can have it "appear" with various content items that i can select from a box to the left. the problem is, the contact form isn't isn't listed in that box to the left.
What am I missing?
Did you install the new module you created or are you just going into modules and clicking new?
You need to write a module to call the form and upload it to joomla. You really only need 2 files the php and xml file.
I am surprised that ChronoForms does not provide one.
Actually I was just thinking you could use the wrapper module to do basically the same thing.
Give that a try.
ah, okay. I see what you mean. I will try tomorrow. Thanks!
Hi all,
I understand your problem, myself go over this problem by one line of PHP code at the template, but i think you can find a way at the joomal forums, search for this :
show module in URL menu item
not the same words, but the same idea, this is an issue with joomla all the time, you will find some ideas, however I prefer the PHP way, its like this :
in ur template html and under the module position which contains ur desired module lets say its :
<?php mosLoadModule ('user1'); ?>
write this code :
<?php
if($option == 'com_chronocontact')
mosLoadModule ('user1');
?>
change user1 to whatever ur module resides in๐
cheers,

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?
Hi skytopdesigns,
You don't need to do this any more, using V2.2 you can create a menu item from inside the form edit page and then show the module at the menu item, you will have it listed at the module page this way.
