Hello,
I'm a first time poster, long time user of Chronoforms.
And I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to.
I have set up a website with Joomla 3.2.2 and Chronoforms 4.0.4 and the plugin (4.0.3) to add forms to articles.
And I'd like to be able to add the article title to the mail subject.
While searching I found two topics. One with a dead link and another using a custom element with the following code:
However this does not get the article title in the form.
This gives me the browser title of the menu item that is linked to the category of the article.
Strangely when I echo $doc->getTitle(); directly into the index.php file of my template it does display the article title on the page.
More strangely when I use this code in the template AND in the form, it displays the article title on the page and the browser title of the menu item in the form!
Has this code stopped working? Or did I miss something?
Thank you.
Wim

Hello iWim,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I add a mask to format a form input?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi Wim,
That code is from this FAQ and should give you the current page title (which may not be the same as the article title).
To be sure of getting the Article title you my need to get the article ID from the URL and look up the title. I'm no expert in the ways that Joomla! handles titles though :-(

Ok, another day, another search...
I found it. Maybe it is also interesting for other CF users.
I got the code from http://blog.calebnance.com/joomla-2.5/how-to-get-a-joomla-2.5-article-title-in-template.html
I added a custom element to the form.
Selected 'Pure code'
In the code area I put:
