I dont know much about joomla but I have a problem.
I started reading for the chromoform and it is a very nice pugin.
I created a form which I can see in the form manager and also I can view in the url.
but I want ot integrate it to an existing content.
I have a content which contains text, photos etc..
The content is editable with tinymce plugin.
And I want to integrate this form also.
One way to integrate would be to copy the html code and paste in the conent but then if I change the form component the changes would not be also in the conent.
is there a way to include the created form in the content?
Or which is the best one?
Anybody any idea?
Thanx,
Granit
If you also have the chrono plugin installed & published, you can add a form into content (such as an article) using the following syntax:
{chronocontact}form_name{/chronocontact}
This allows you to place the form anywhere within the article - you can preface the form with content (such as a heading) ....
You probably want to use the Chronocontact module (mod_chronocontact), which is provided with ChronoForms. This allows you to insert any ChronoForms form into any module location. The Joomla 1.5 download for this module is here.
Then you just need to define a module location in your template, and create a mod_chronocontact module in that location, with your forms name set up. You'll find having a couple of module locations defined immediately before and after your main content in the template is normally handy, like so:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="beforecontent"/>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="aftercontent"/>

I'm using an own Extbase extension with my articles, which are stored in a Sysfolder.
It is possible to move the Search Box in the Backend's List module from the bottom to the top?
This is not possible since the html is not located in a template but is hardcoded located in the \TYPO3\CMS\Recordlist\RecordList::main() function (see: typo3/sysext/recordlist/Classes/RecordList.php).
I don't know if the back-end has a contentPostProc-all hook. If some kind of hook exists you can move the html by your own class.
I'm using Typo3 for the first time and have been asked to update a site built on it.
Making changes to existing templates so far has been OK since they were mainly CSS changes or replacing images. Now though I need to create a couple of new page templates.
What's the easiest way to go about this? The existing site has a home.html and layout.hmlt in the fileadmin directory. Do I need to create a new html file there, if so how do I use this as a new template for some of my pages?
I'm coming from a mainly WordPress background in terms of CMS (I've nearly given in a recoded the site as a WordPress site since I think it would be quicker at this stage) but I'd really prefer to figure this out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out trying to read through the documentation and getting nowhere. The site is using Typo3 version 4.4.6
Thanks!
How you add a new template to your page depends on how templating is handled. Sadly TYPO3 has a poor templating out of the box, so there is most likely an extension that does the job on your site.
Probably one of these:
automaketemplate
templa_voila
flux & fluidpages
Check if one of these extension is installed and add a new page template according to the extensions manual or specify your question afterwards.
Edit:
If plain TYPO3 was used, you'll find something like
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEMPLATE
page.10 {
file = fileadmin/myTemplate.html
}
in your Typoscript. You can add tmplate files like the ones that are already there. To use a different template on a page, you have to replace the page.10.file with the template you want to use. This can be done with a new template record (crated in backend via the template module). But this is a rather anoying procedure to change the template, because you have to create each time you want to change the page template for a page and its children. That is why mostly extensions are used for this.
The out of the box situation gets better with newer TYPO3 versions but in 4.4.6 there are no Backend Layouts that could be uses for a template switch ot something like that.
In Addition to change the mere file you have to adjust the subparts or marker that are filled with the content. You'll find that configured in your TypoScript as well
I would like to make a plugin that lets you use the google fonts. But I want the user to be able to choose from all fonts available. To do this I cannot use a static xml manifest for the menu but I need to create a updated list of the fonts in real time.
So how can I modify the plugin parameters programmatically? Is it also possible to use javascript to add some behavior to the menus for some ajax work?
Thanks
You need to create a custom element and add it to the plugin's xml file.
The following doc will let you know how to add custom element to a form.
You just need to change it according to your needs.
http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_a_multiple_item_select_list_parameter_type
This doc is just for example, you should be able to use this exact code, for example, you need not worry about saving the params. Joomla automatically saves the params of any plugin.
Joomla is pretty good CMS but, is there any way to create custom template which will be joomla supportable ?
If I understand your question you want to convert an existing template that isn't even a Joomla template. If that is the case I found it very hard to do, of course depending on where the template was coming from. I ended up taking a template for Joomla 1.5 and starting from that. (Although the ja_Purity is a messy one when it comes to the CSS, looking back I would should have started with another one....)
Yes, you can do it. Copy default template which comes with Joomla and customize it, and you can install it now.

1st result for Google: joomla change template.
If you mean a page-specific template, then this is answered here: http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_assign_a_template_to_a_specific_page%3F
It describes the following steps:
In Joomla! there is a default
template, but you can assign other
templates to specific "pages" that are
defined by menu links.
To assign a template to a page, you
must first make sure that there is a
direct menu link to the page.
Go to Extensions>>Template Manager
Select the Template and click the edit icon (or click the template name)
In the left column, change "None" to "Select from List."
Select the links you want to apply the template to.
Save
Note that you cannot assign the
default template to individual pages.
