Hi youngpetals,

Please try to clear your website and browser caches ?

You have the Chronoforms "v5" plugin installed and enabled ?

Ok, but its the "v5" plugin ? because some users install the v4 plugin thinking that it would work for v5 too!

Yes, it is the V5 plugin.

FYI, it works for me with Joomla 3.3.6

I'm not sure, I may need an admin login to check this, please send the details using the "Contact us" page.

Hello,

I also have this problem, but only in Firefox and only with one form. Very strange. I have 5-6 different forms and all of them shows great in every browser except one that is not shown in Firefox although I cleared all the cookies, cache both on joomla and browser side.

What can go wrong?

Thanks

Hi guillome,

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

Hi guillome,

I see the plug-in code {chronoforms5}Volatrade_2{/chronoforms5} but no form. Do you have the plug-in enabled?

Bob
guillome 08 May, 2015
Yes i do have it enabled. If you look at it in chrome you will see the form.
GreyHead 08 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

I am looking at it in Chrome - now I can't even see the page, I am redirected the Home page.

Bob
guillome 08 May, 2015
It works for me... strange. I didnt change anything. What does it say after the redirect?
guillome 08 May, 2015
I can't find the reason it not showing. On firefox it is not rendering, on chrome it is just fine. Any idea?
GreyHead 08 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

My fault - if you leave off the www. you are sent to the Home page.

Putting the www. back I see the article but still no form, just the plug-in code. Checked in Chrome, FireFox, Opera and IE

Bob
guillome 08 May, 2015
This is extremely strange. I see it working in Chrome, but not working in IE and Firefox.

I am also using chronoforms on other pages which work well across all browsers, for example this:
http://www.opcioguru.com/oktatas/szabadsag-utja-trening

What might be the cause here?
GreyHead 09 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

I see the form on the new page you posted. I still don't see it on the first one.

The browser should make no difference - the replacement is done by Joomla! on the server before the page loads.

I can see that all the ChronoForms support files are being loaded but there is no sign of the form itself. I wondered if the form has some odd output but it looks OK from the View Form URL.

Sorry, I haven't seen this happen before and don't have an answer.

Bob
guillome 09 May, 2015
I also tried to copy the form, rename it, but nothing solved it. In chrome I see it, in Firefox I cant... Anyone has any idea?
GreyHead 09 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

Do you have Caching on for the site? That is the only reason I can think of why the form might show in one browser and not in another.

I have still never seen the form on that page in any browser.

Bob
guillome 09 May, 2015
No caching. I still see it in chrome, no firefox. You don't see it anywhere. Have you seen anything like this before?:)
GreyHead 10 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

No, I haven't seen this behaviour before, I can't think of an explanation for it either :-(

And I still don't see the form in Chrome.

Hi GreyHead,

I have found a very strange thing. If I put any other forms to that one particular page, it is not loaded. Do you see anything on the page which might block chronoforms to be rendered?

If you look at my other pages, they render chronoforms well, for example:
http://www.opcioguru.com/oktatas/opciostart
http://www.opcioguru.com/opcios-oktatas-1-napos
http://www.opcioguru.com/opcios-oktatas-3-napos

And the troubled one once again:
http://www.opcioguru.com/oktatas/volatrade-strategia

I don't see any difference in the structure and layout.
Any idea?

thanks,
Gery

Hi gery,

The only thing I can see is that the 'broken' page has a lot of </span> tags without matching <span> tags.

Looking at one of the other pages that has a <div> wrapped around the article body that closes before the cf tag line, the 'broken' one doesn't have that <div>.

Bob
guillome 11 May, 2015
Hello

We removed all the spans. We now see it in chrome but nowhere else. How about you?

Thanka
GreyHead 12 May, 2015
Hi Guillome,

No form visible - checked in Chrome, IE, FireFox and Opera :-(

Bob
guillome 12 May, 2015
GreyHead,

what I have realized that I can only see the form when I am logged in, although form has no permission settings. Or is there something hidden value that is screwed?

thanks
GreyHead 12 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

Please check the Access setting for the ChronoForms v5 plug-in - it should be Public but it sounds as though yours may be set to Registered.

Bob
guillome 12 May, 2015
It s public. And the rest of the forms work without being logged in. Any more ideas?:)
GreyHead 12 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

No - not a clue. It's going to be an access setting somewhere though - that would explain the differences.

Bob
guillome 12 May, 2015
Yes it was indeed a very strange access setting. The article was public, the menu item was public, but the category that the article was in was set to registered by mistake. But strangely the article was shown despite of that but the form was not.

Sorry it took me so long to realize it and thanks for all your help and suggestions.
GreyHead 12 May, 2015
Hi guillome,

Well found - that's not an obvious place to look!

Hello,

I tried to echo a form but only showing the text, not the form.
I am trying this within a php code.
echo "{chronoforms5}formname{/chronoforms5}";

what am I missing?
I can insert the form within html and shows fine, but not in php.

thanks.
GreyHead 16 Jun, 2015
Hi guillome,

I don't understand what you are trying to do here. You can't put PHP in an article and the plug-in will only work in an article (or some other component that supports content plug-ins).

Bob
guillome 16 Jun, 2015
What I tried to do is only displaying an order form when a value that comes php is above 0.
GreyHead 17 Jun, 2015
Hi guillome,

Where does this PHP value come from?

You can probably do it with CSS in a Load CSS action - set it up so that .gbs {display: none;} is added if the value is > 0
