Enable a content plugin in a form

ludo007 30 Aug, 2013
Hi,
i'm using chronoform V4 With joomla 2.5.14. I try to use a content plugin to make tabs on my form i already install two of us:

- http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/article-elements/articles-tabs/1046 Tabs & Sliders for articles

- http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/article-elements/articles-tabs/14493 tabs

I also drag Joomla plugin of joomla! function on the "On Load" event and my form has a "custom" code but the tabs don't appears. What should i do?

Hi GreyHead,

Thanks for your response, i try to use your faq to build tabs. Several times it doesn't work specially the "expand/collapse" function of tab (tab appears one after another verticaly) and after looking on source code of some files. i discover that the "layout.css" of the templates "beez_20" has to be loaded, is it normal? specially when i have my own template different of beez_20. Thanks

Hi ludo007,

If your template doesn't include CSS for the standard Joomla! tabs (or sliders) then you will need to add it. Copying the Beez CSS is a simple quick fix - you can then modify it to suit your site.

Ok but it is very strange, why? To implemenent "native" tab of chronoform on my template, i have to import CSS of another template. Why don't you just add the CSS for tab in the chronoform CSS files, it seem to be a more simple and portable solution

Hi ludo007,

What is actually strange is why your template doesn't include CSS for the standard Joomla! tabs :-( Why don't you just get a better template?

Actually, I don't have any control over the code in ChronoForms, you'd need to ask Max about that.
