Joomla chronoform insert into existing content

Question

Hi, I dont know much about joomla but I have a problem. I started reading for the chromoform and it is a very nice pugin. I created a form which I can see in the form manager and also I can view in the url. but I want ot integrate it to an existing content.

I have a content which contains text, photos etc.. The content is editable with tinymce plugin. And I want to integrate this form also.

One way to integrate would be to copy the html code and paste in the conent but then if I change the form component the changes would not be also in the conent.

is there a way to include the created form in the content? Or which is the best one? Anybody any idea?

Thanx, Granit

Answer 1

You probably want to use the Chronocontact module (mod_chronocontact), which is provided with ChronoForms. This allows you to insert any ChronoForms form into any module location. The Joomla 1.5 download for this module is here.

Then you just need to define a module location in your template, and create a mod_chronocontact module in that location, with your forms name set up. You'll find having a couple of module locations defined immediately before and after your main content in the template is normally handy, like so:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="beforecontent"/>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="aftercontent"/>

If you also have the chrono plugin installed & published, you can add a form into content (such as an article) using the following syntax: {chronocontact}form_name{/chronocontact} This allows you to place the form anywhere within the article - you can preface the form with content (such as a heading) ....
