Make sure to set your form action to point the view.php file.</p> <p>At this moment, I'm afraid iframe is the only supported option which should be working properly. So it might be difficult to fully integrate machform with Joomla without using iframe.</p> <p>The file which generate the form code is includes/view-functions.php </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/form-as-html-like-in-the-free-version#post-1139 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:01:35 +0000 sub 1139@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for your quick reply! With this workaround can i use the features (email capability and database saving)?</p> <p>I want to use my machform-generated form in joomla and i dont want to wrap it because of serveral causes. If i want to publish content in Joomla i can put in html or (with plugins) php. </p> <p>I want to use the machform-form as it is but dont want to integrate via iframe. Where is the php-file which is generated located? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/form-as-html-like-in-the-free-version#post-1133 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:59:24 +0000 yuniar 1133@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm.. ok, pForm (http://www.phpform.org) was designed to allow you create static HTML forms. No php file is being generated, no email capability and database saving.</p> <p>While MachForm was designed to become a fully functional form builder/processor, hence there is no option to generate static HTML form only.</p> <p>If you prefer to use MachForm to generate static HTML form as pForm, here is my suggestion:</p> <p>1) Extract the form.zip file which you get from pForm into a certain folder. Let say we extract it to a folder named folderX.<br /> 2) Took the form HTML source code from MachForm (exactly as you did).<br /> 3) Save the HTML source code into form.html file which is located under folderX.<br /> 4) Edit form.html file, adjust the path for javascripts and css. It should be few lines on top. Something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;./data/form_226/css/view.css&quot; media=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;js/view.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;js/calendar.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Adjust it to become:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;view.css&quot; media=&quot;all&quot;&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;view.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;calendar.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Your form should be working now. Or if it doesn't, adjust those path to the correct path.</p> <p>Is that what you mean? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/form-as-html-like-in-the-free-version#post-1132 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:29:56 +0000 sub 1132@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>after i tested nearly every form component of joomla im so absolutely glad to found yours.</p> <p>In your free version you get an html code to implement, in the paid just an iframe-code.<br /> I need it like in the free version cause i need to do some joomla-specific tags around it to get a long form displayed in three tabs.</p> <p>I tried it like this: i did a form with your script, display it in the browser and took the source-code of it. I published a new content-element in Joomla and did the html-source-code of the ready-form-site in it. So i could put in my joomlatags. Looks great, but doesnt work.</p> <p>Thanks for help in this difficult question. </p>
