No CKForms after installation

[John Twenty]

Hi,

I downloaded the CK Forms 1.3.4 module plus the two plugins. Installation is successfull in all three cases. However, I can't find CK Forms in my backend

What am I doing wrong?

I am currently using Joomla 1.5.18

Best regards

Hi there,
I've searched each post in this forum looking to see if there is something that I might be missing.
I just did a fresh install of the CKForms 1.3.4 (build2) and I gotta say I love it thank you.
The component is available if I create a new Menu item but I can't seem to figure out how to use it as a module ? I would like to use more elements/modules on the same page with the form and I don't know how to achieve that.
I did see your documentation and I looked in my plug-ins to enable it or under modules to create a new module but I don't see the CKForms listed in any of these locations.

Any help would be really appreciate it. Great work thank you so much for sharing this!!!

Look for "CKforms Form Display" in the modules list. Make sure you are seeing all your modules, published/unpublished, all positions, all types. Activate it and you should be be good to go.

I did looked for any possible CK modules or plug-ins that might need to be enabled.
I don't have anything listed under my modules or plug-ins and they are all enabled (published/unpublished)

I have a Joomla 1.5.17 install and I downloaded the com_ckforms_b2.zip and installed it. Is there any additional file that I need to install ? I thought to mention that I can see CKForms in the components menu and also when I create a new menu item type.

Thanks a ton for the help, I really like this component and I would love to be able to use it with other modules on the same page.

So, you can see CK Forms in the Component drop down menu, and your forms work correctly but you can only access them through a menu. But they are 'stand-alone', and you want to add more stuff to the page.

FYI: I downloaded and installed four related items from
http://ckforms.cookex.eu/download/download.php

1. CKForms component CKForms component 1.3.4 (build 2)
2. CKForms plug-in CKForms plug-in 1.3.4 (build 1)
3. CKForms plug-in data CKForms Data plug-in 1.3.4 (build 1)
4. CKForms module CKForms module 1.3.4 (build 1)

I put the contact module in another page. Here's how I did it*.
[*]This tip will only work if you have the plugin "Content - Load Module" enabled.

Step one: Publish the module(s) (or copies of the modules) to non-existent positions (e.g. instead of selecting position 'user1' type in the position 'myform'). Note: If you need the any f these modules to appear in another position, say for another article then simply make a copies of the modules and work with those.

Step two: Open the form in which you want the GoogleMaps module to appear and type {loadposition myform} where you want the form module to appear. Use the same technique for other modules, just replace 'myform' with the name of the non-existent position you specified in the module.

Somewhat advanced version: Make a table to position your module exactly where you want them. To float a module of to the right place your cursor in the document at the line where you want the box to appear. Create 2 row, 2 column table, set alignment to right, and the width to whatever works for you (35% ?). In the upper right hand cell add this text: {loadposition myform}

This works with any module, by the way. If you have a page and you want to add modules in a specific place that's not allowed with basic template positions.

Hope this helps.
