problem inserting form into article

[baxman]

I'm a newbie, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I've created a form. I want to insert it into an article. I've installed CK Forms as a plug-in. In the article, I've added the text "{ckform newformname}" and saved the already published page. When I view the live page it displays the text string "{ckform newformname}" and does not insert the form. What am I doing wrong?

Hi baxman,

You have to enable the plugin in the Plugins Manager.

Thank you for your quick reply. The CK Forms plugin is already enabled in the Plug-In Manager. Also, the original designer had inserted 2 forms successfully in other articles. After typing in the {...} string, I've both 'saved' the change and 'published' the article - but the code string only still shows up.

So the other forms are working?

Check and make sure the form name is spelt correctly. There should be no spaces in the form name etc etc...

[baxman]

Yes, the other forms are working. I've double checked and double checked the form name - even copying and pasting. There are no spaces in the form name, just one space before the form name.

Hi baxman,

Where did you insert the {ckform ...}??? Did you do it in the HTML code view or the WYSIWYG editor?

It is supposed to be inserted in the HTML code view.

Hi

I couldn't get it to work either but then I realised I had to enter ckform in the string like this:

{ckform contact}

I was doing it like this {contact} and that is why it wasn't working.

I was entering the correct string. I was trying to insert it onto a blog style page that already had several things on it.

When I created a separate page, with the same code string, it worked fine.

So, I'm just linking to the new page.

Hi,

in some layout Joomla display only a limited number of caracters. The CKForms plug-in add a lot of code in the article and then the form can be cutted and not displayed.
