How to use {chronoforms} in CF v5?

iWim 16 Apr, 2015
Hey, hey,

A long time ago I have created a small form with CF v4 on J2.5.
This form was added to specific articles with {chronoforms}FORM{/chronoforms}

Now I'm updating the site to J3.4, and because I had only 1 form, I also wanted to update to CF v5.
However CF v5 uses {chronoforms5}.

Is there a "quick and easy" way to use {chronoforms} for CF v5?
This way I don't have to go through each and every article to add the 5.
CF v4 is not installed anymore, so no conflict on that part.

Thank you.

Hi Wim,

Not tested but you can probably do a search and replace on the #__content table in PHPMyAdmin.

Hi JM,

First you can't use 2015 as a form name - it must start with a letter (that's because the name is used in PHP and MySQL and neither of them accept names like that).

Second - is this a Joomla! article or a K2 article? I'm not certain that K2 supports Joomla! content plug-ins and that may be part of the problem.
