Hi there,

Before I start asking questions i will give you some technical details for what it is worth. Currently I am using chronoforms v4 with Joomla 2.5.8. Since I am not an advanced webdesigner I decided to use a free responsive joomla theme called Music from gavick.com .


I recently used the easy Wizard (enabled captcha) to create a form with a few text fields, dropdown, checkbox group, submit button and with captcha. I saved this form and used the frontend view to check it in my own website style. IT looked perfect! and showed the captcha. However when I copied the code to the article which i use as contact page, three problems occured:

1. It messed up the outline of the form and spacing was affected
2. The Captcha doesnt show the image
3. When I hit send (I dont recieve an email in my emailaccount (I managed to fix captcha image by pasting the source of frontend view in chrome to my article in Joomla)

Below you can find an image showing the form in the browser as frontend view and one when the code was pasted into the article editor.

I hope you can help me out!

P.s. I pasted this is in the bug section because i assume it is a bug

Kind Regards,

Hi Rio 1920,

My best guess is that your template isn't loading the ChronoForms files. Try switching temporarily to a default Joomla template and see if that fixes the problems.

Hi again,

Thank you for the fast response.

I tried another theme but it still gives the same problem. See the image below.

Do you have other suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rio1920,

That doesn't look like a default Joomla theme . . .

Please post a link to the form so that I can take a quick look.

Hi Rio1920,

As a I suspected, your template isn't loading any of the ChronoForms files in the article page.

Either you fix the template or you add some form CSS to it :-(

Bob

Thank you bob!

Are there any tutorials or forum topics related to fixing the templates or how to add CSS?

Kind Regards

Hi,

I am change the follwing features in my template as shown in the image below. May one or more of these options be of importance for loading the chronoform properly?

Hi Rio1920,

Usually the only thing needed is for the template index.php file to include the line

<jdoc:include type="head" />

I'm afraid that I do not know what your template options do - presumably the template documents will tell you.
