ChronoForms form not displaying in Module - Joomla 3.0.3

momentis 21 Mar, 2013
I am using the following on a Joomla 3.0.3 install:
Component - V4 RC3.5.2.5 J3.0
Plugin - V4 RC3.5.3 J3.0
Module - V4 RC3.5.3 J3.0

I have a simple contact form. I can use the plugin to insert the form into a content item. However, the CF module will not display the form. The following link displays a contact page which should show the form just under the contact info:

Any ideas?

Hi Rick,

I don't see any trace of the module on the page. Is this a problem in any location - does the CF Module work in other locations in Joomla! 3.0.3?

Bob,

It is set to the 'innerbottom' position of this YooTheme template. I just changed the module to display the title (Email Us). Right below that is where the module should appear. It is not appearing in any module position that I assign. It's just weird!

I am going to try it with a default Joomla template and report back.

Nope, even with Beez3 it is not working.

I know I probably drive you NUTS working in Joomla 3. Sorry!!!!

Hi Rick,

It's working OK here. Took a while to find which template was running (ProtoStar by default) and get a valid module position but once that was done it's OK.

Hi,

I tested this when I created the module and it worked fine, but assigning positions is very annoying in the newest versions of Joomla, please test using a different module first then test with the same combination of settings using the Chronoforms module!🙂

All other modules I test seem to display fine. Only the CF module does not display. I have tried it in every module position within my template and it does not work. I tried the ProtoStar template and it did not work either. Sorry!!

Hi Rick,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Hi Rick,

I spent some time on this and I'm still not clear what the problem is.

The Module works OK on every page *except* the Contact page (which is where you want it). I tried changing the module position, added a new Test menu item (now disabled); removed a Trashed module with the same name; tried using the new Module insert plug-in in the article; unpublished all the other modules; . . . All to no effect.

At the moment I am baffled.

Thanks for confirming that I am not crazy! It just makes no sense. I tried disabling the Widgetkit module on that page, thinking there may be a problem, but that didn't work. If I use the plugin on that page and insert the form in the body, it displays. I will just go back to that method!!

Thanks for all the help!

Hi,

Just a quick thought, was the module set to display "on all pages" ?

No, just the Contact page.

Hi Max,

There's a similar post in this thread though that is using Joomla! 2.5

I have logged into the site and if I link the module to other menu items then it displays OK but not on the one the user wants to see it on. That page does have another copy of the form displayed.

Hi,

So, I have just tested this on my J3 installation, the form in module would not show if its displayed inside a page of type "Chronoforms" and is displaying the SAME form, in other words you can't display the same form twice in 1 page using a module position and the main page (or any other combination I think), I think that I have disabled this because the form would submit twice if its submitted in that kind of page.

But the module works fine if its displaying a different form or if its shown under a different page type like an article or whatever.

Best regards,
Max

Hi, CF4 for J3 does not even test right. It simply does not show.

Hi,

Please make a new topic about this issue, most probably you don't have the "show html" action in the "on load" event!

I am using CF v4 on J3.2.2

I had the same issue, The CF module did not show the form on a page that had a CF form inside an article. It only showed when I removed it from the article.

I hope this helps someone.

Cheers
