calling a content plugin, is there away?

Hi,

This is a quick question. Is there a way to call a content plugin in a form? Like when you use {xxx="yyy} in an article?

Hi haujo01,

If you add the Joomla! Plug-ins action from the Joomla! Functions action group to your form On Load event then most plug-ins will work. (Not all because some use different Joomla! hooks to enable them that are not supported by this action.)

Bob,

I did look at that. I just can't figure it out. I drag it out to the onload but when I try and configure- it will not let me put anything into the settings. Do I need to do do a set form? I would think I would put {blah=xxx} or whatever the plugin wants?

Is there a link to how to configure the plugin action? I have been searching but I have not found one.

Hi John,

There aren't any settings. You just need to add whatever code the Plug-in needs in the Form HTML. I'd use a Custom Element element from the Advanced elements.
