Form Plugin not working

elehost 14 Jun, 2011
Hello

I am having a problem with the form plugin within an article. It says the form is unpublished.

There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management



Here is the code I am using in my form:

{chronoforms}myform{/chronoforms}


1) I confirm the chronoforms plugin is enabled
2) I confirm the form with the exact name specified is published

Any ideas what might be wrong here?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi elehost,

Is this on the home page? There are some known problems with home page display in Joomla! 1.6

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

This is on an article page (not the home page).

It is linked in via the an article link (i.e.):

/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=86

Regards,

Paul

I have the same issue. Here are my details.

I have Joomla 1.6.3 installed with Chronoforms J1.6_V4_RC1.9. I have the module and the plugin enabled (published) and have built a form (eo) using the form wizard. I can view and interact with the form from the Frontend View in the Form Manager, but when I use it in an article {chronoforms}eo{/chronoforms} I get the following result.

There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management.

I am looking for assistance on how to resolve this issue and to make you aware of a possible bug.

Thanks for the help.

I sent you the information yesterday. Did you find anything yet?

Hi mg_dev,

Yes I tried but the login didn't work :-( I thought I'd sent you a message about that . . . but it has been a little like a madhouse here the last couple of days so maybe I forgot.

I fixed the problem and you should be able to log in.

Hi mg_dev,

Thank you. It took a while but I tracked it down.

In the article editor you could see {chronoforms}form_name{/chronoforms} which looks correct. But in the HTML editor the actual code is
<p class="style5"><span class="readonly plg-desc">{chronoforms}</span>form_name<span class="readonly plg-desc">{/chronoforms}</span></p>

This had ChronoForms looking for a form named 'spanform_namespanclassreadonlyplg-desc' which indeed does not exist.

Bob

PS I installed exTplorer to add debug code to the ChronoForms files; it's a handy free extension. Either keep or uninstall it as you like.
