mambot working inside form

seppo 19 Jun, 2007
I should create a simple emailing form, similiar to one at normal contact page, but with dropdown box to select user it refers to. To create this kind of form I'd like to use chronoforms.
I have also installed contact information mambot, with which I can easily get some information from contacts of Joomla.

But it seems I cannot combine these too, to have i.e. something like this:

<select name="person" id="person">
 <option>{contactinfo 1}[name]{/contactinfo}</option>
 <option>{contactinfo 2}[name]{/contactinfo}</option>
 <option>{contactinfo 3}[name]{/contactinfo}</option>
</select>


So is it possible to have some mambot functioning inside a form?

Hi,

Iam sorry but it is NOT possible to even have any types of mambots to work inside any type of components by default, a small hack is needed to achieve this!!

If you are interested in it then I will be glad to write it here!πŸ™‚

Great, Please see how can I apply a mambot to a line of text at a component :


$videocode = '{mambot}'.$rows[0]->name.'{/mambot}';
		   global $_MAMBOTS;
		   $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
		   $rowc->text = $videocode;
		   $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$rowc, &$params, $page ), true );
		   $videocode = $rowc->text;
			// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing
			echo $videocode;


of course you need to test this code and try many time till you know how exactly it works.
