Joomla 3 ChronoForm plugin

rlab 07 Jan, 2013
Hi,

There doesn't seem to be a Chronoforms plugin for Joomla 3.0. Do you think you will have one available soon? I tried using the Joomla 2.5 version content plugin, but it just gave a lot of errors in both the frontend and backend even after adding this code to the top of /plugins/content/chronoforms/chronoforms.php on line 2:

if ( !defined('DS') ) {
  define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
}

It would be great if you could change the plugin to a system plugin rather than content plugin when you upgrade it, so it can be used in other areas like K2 rather than just Joomla articles.

I also wanted to make sure that the Greyhead V4 advanced actions will work with Joomla 3 as I need them as well.

Thank you.

I love ChronoForms, but i'm very frustrated seeing both plugin and module break our Joomla 3 pages although ChronoForms 4 is "Joomla 3 ready".
I think that CF4 will not be "J3 ready" until there is a way we can show our chronoforms on the frontend.

Someone can provide us a Joomla 3 working plugin/module?

Best regards.
Gonzalo.

Hi Gonzalo,

You can of course show your forms in the front-end, though not in an article or a template module.

I don't know what Max plans for either of these. I do have a beta version of a plug-in created by another user, please contact me by PM or email if you want to try it.

Now I see that I can add a contact form directly from a menu item.
I'm sorry for my ignorance about it, but I have always shown my forms through plugin/module.
Either way, I'd like to try the beta plugin. I will send a P.M to you.

Best regards.
Gonzalo.

Hi,

The plug-in and module for Joomla! 3.0 were released yesterday and are available from the Downloads menu above.

Hi Bob,

I just installed the new chronoforms Joomla 3 content plugin 3.5.3 and enabled it. Now when I go to my article that has the form in it, using the following code:
{chronoforms}ContactForm{/chronoforms}

I get a 404 error.

If I disable the chronoform plugin then the page/article displays showing the code above.

So, something isn't quite right with the new plugin.

This is on a Joomla 3.0.2 site using Chronroforms 4.0 RC3.5.2.2

Thank you.

Hi rlab,

It's working OK for me (though I have a pre-release version of ChronoForms 4.0 RC3.5.2.4) with the Plug-in V4 RC3.5.3 which is released.)

If the release is the problem I expect Max will have it published in the next few days. I got it because I had some problems which turned out to be because I was running a Joomla! 3.0 beta.
