Hello,

I'm writing a Joomla component which will get it's input via a form. The extension is following the Model-View-Controller paradigm. The view essentially is a HTML file which displays the data. I want to use a form and added {FacileForms: my_form} to the view's HTML file. Unfortunately, the form is not included in the output, the text '{facileForms: my_form}' is displayed. If I use the same tag inside a regular Joomla article I get the form as expected.

Does anyone know how I can use my BreezingForm forms in my extension/component?

Kind regards,

Sweder

Hello,

It appears no one knows how to integrate a form in a Joomla extension (component or module). I'll try another solution...

I have a form which asks for some information (obviously). After submitting the form is e-mailed for further processing. Most users need to fill in the form several times for different requests in a row. I would like to have them fill in the form several times and then send one single e-mail.

I know how to store the intermediate information in a session variable or database. I know how to customize an e-mail in BF. My question is:

how can I add a summary page, listing all request from the database? Each entry should have a edit-button so the user can edit the database entry, preferable by going back to the form and initialize it with the request to be edited.

When everything on the summary page is ok, the user will hit the submit button and the single e-mail shall be sent.

Any help appreciated. If my question is unclear, please ask for clarification.

Kind regards,

Sweder

Here is what I have done:

I coded my Joomla component just as normal. Then created the forms I needed and copied the HTML from a normal form page into my component. The Submit piece handles storing the data so my component has access to it.
