plug in not working in module

jjspelman 25 Jun, 2012
I have seen so many posts about this but can't find my solution.

I am running Joomla 2.5.4 locally on my Mac with the latest Chronoforms component which I downloaded today along with the latest plug in.

All installed fine. I created a very simple form. Created a module and included the code:
{chronoforms}free_smm_report{/chronoforms}
. But all that shows is the code, not the form.

I know plug ins are ok to use in modules for this installation because I am also using AllVideos plug in syntax in another module.

No link because the site is on my machine locally.

Hi Bob,

I read the FAQ and made sure everything was done as instructed, but I still only see the code in the module, and not the actual form.

I now have the site on a dev server: http://j2studio.com/bto/

Can you have a quick look?

Hi jjspelman,

There's nothing extra to do - it looks as though your module doesn't support the ChronoForms plug-in. There are System plug-ins and Content plug-ins and there are different Joomla! events codes events used to trigger the plug-in loading and these may not match up here.

Why not put the whole module content in the form and use the ChronoForms module?

I suppose I was unaware that I could include any other content other than a form in a ChronoForms module. Is there any documentation you can point me to?

Hi jjspelman,

You can add any HTML you like in a form - and then include the form using the ChronoForms module.

In this case I'd use a pair of Custom Element elements from the Advanced Element group and put one before and the other after the current form code.

Please see this FAQ for a bit more info on using custom HTML.
