Can't Get Form to Appear in Article

silkweb 17 Sep, 2012
Hello, I have created my form and tested it, I have installed the plugin and enabled it and I have added the code to the article {chronoforms}Careers{/chronoforms} but it still will not display the form. I read that I have to "drag" show html to the event are if I use the regular form wizard but it is supposed to do it automatically with the "easy form wizard" and this is what I have used.

For the life of me I cannot figure out what I am not doing.

the page it is supposed to appear on is: http://www.silkwebsolutions.com/lyticadev/index.php/our-firm/careers

Please help. :-)

Thanks, S

Sorry to have bugged you, I had the incorrect version of the plugin installed. I uninstalled the wrong one and installed the correct one and all is good. A suggestion might be to label the plugins better for "noobs" like me to know which one we need.

thanks for your time.

Hello, First of all, Thank you for creating Chronoforms, it is a great tool!

I have a little problem, I cannot get it to show in my articles! I downloaded the latest version, I downloaded the mootools upgrade plugin (enabled it), tried the syntax available, checked HTML and placed them between <div>'s and nothing works!

<div>{chronoforms}contactadvertise{/chronoforms}</div>
<div>{chronocontact}contacadvertise{chronocontact}</div>

I can see the "front end" preview of my form but I just cannot figure out what else to try, please HELP!!!

ahh I forgot to attach the URL for the form: http://exploretlaxcala.com/home/component/content/article?id=72

Hi dasp16,

Which version of Joomla! are you using?

Have you downloaded and installed the ChronoForms plug-in? If not, please see this FAQ

Thank you for your fast response. I am a little confused now, what pluggin are you reffering to?
I think i downloaded the full version of chronoforms, enabled it and crated a form.
Is there an additional plug in that I need to download? What's the Url?
I also downloaded the latest mootools update and enable it.
finally i had read the article you sent me befote sending my first message, but still after applying the <div><\div> still doesn't show.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi dasp16,

From the FAQ:

You need to download and install the correct version of the ChronoForms plug-in from the Downloads area here.

Thnak you for your response. I figure it out. Instead of downloading chronoforms as just one Zip I downloaded each folder and installed them individually, these are the names of the folders I downloaded for those who (like me) are new to this :

Chronoforms_V4_RC3.5.1_J1.6.zip
File: Chronoforms_J1.6_V4_RC3.0_Plugin.zip
Mod_Chronoforms_J1.6_V4_RC3.0.zip

I then made sure they were enabled and created a form. Use the syntax... and
The form now shows up as part of an article!

Thank you!
