My form doesn't show

cork 24 Apr, 2011
I have never used Chrono forms. Could you please tell me where I can find beginner tutorials? I have installed the component and plugin and created a form, but it does not show on my contact page. I'm using it on Joomla 1.6.

Hi cork,

There are very few tutorials for the new version 4 yet. You will find one PDF tutorial from Max and a couple of useful videos in the ChronoForms v4 forum here. Look for the sticky post titled "ChronoForms v4 tutorials".

The answer to your immediate question is that you need to add a Show HTML action to the OnLoad event - or to use the Easy Wizard which will do this for you.

Thank you, Bob. I got it to show. How do I change the width of the form? It looks like it is at 100% by default. Also, how do I make the checkboxes group vertical? Currently they are horizontal.

Thank you.

Hi cork,

The form width in CFv4 is inherited from the surrounding divs, you can set it in your CSS with
.chronoform_my_form_name {
  width: ???;
}


I'm afraid that I don't know how to switch the check-box layout. Possibly with CSS, or by editing the Form HTML.
