    • I'm looking for a way to embed a form into joomla. I have checked out all of the form components and I am not interested in building a form from joomla. I already have the form created and wanted to know the best way to place it into the content. Anyone have a best practice ?

    • You shall probably find it more complicated doing it manually than with an extension. I have never used forms so this is just a guess.

      I just googled embedding forms and this page looks promising myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/help.asp?eve=2&fid=106

    • Well the code the software generates could just be pasted inside a module - done that a lot of times...
      But again it depends on what is is..

    • Well I wanted to either put the subscribe page for phplist or pommo in the content. I suppose I could always do a wrapper, but i dont want to format all of the CSS to match the site.

      Code I want to submit:
      <div id="subscribeForm">
 
<form method="post" action="/pommo/user/subscribe.php">
<fieldset>
<legend>Join newsletter</legend>
 
 
<div>
<label for="email">Your Email:</label>
<input type="text" size="20" maxlength="60" name="Email" id="email" />
</div>
 
</fieldset>
 
<div class="buttons">
 
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
 
</div>
 
</form>
</div>

      Just pace that into a cutom module and it should work. Depending on the editor you use, you might need to turn it off before you paste the code.

      Just did a similar newsletter form for another and that worked without a problem.

    • Erhhm of course you need to check the location of the script and adjust the url according to this...
      And if the code does some other stuff besides just grabbing the info, it might give some problems, so a redirect to a thank you page or something might also need to be adjustet within the php script.

      Bottomline sometimes it's easy and works without a problem, sometimes you need to modify the code a bit.
