(SOLVED) Custom Form Integration w MXCalendar 2

I see a way to reference a form when I create an event. Would like a registration form there but haven't seen any reference or docs. Has anyone tried something similar? Some pointers or docs would be awesome. [ed. note: charless last edited this post 13 years, 8 months ago.]

Yes, documentation is an overarching issue, so much needs to be done by me to get them updated.

In order to populate the Form list you will need to create a form chunk with a name that starts with "form_". In your case this could be something like "form_registration" then it will automatically be populated in the event manager list in the Form tab.

Please let me know if you have any more issues or questions.

[[+form_chunk]]

which will display the selected form.

Hmmm, I can't get it working. Here is the code at the end of the "tplDetail" chunk


I have also tried,


There is nothing showing in the output source of the page.
Can you post a sample of your "tplDetail" chunk?

that's the placeholder name without changing

so regardless of your actual chunk name it always remains the same.

OK, I see what you are saying.

I tried this and it is only returning the name of the chunk as text.
None of the form field is shown.
I checked all of the settings in the chunk and form and don't see what's wrong.

Bobby - you can allow for the form to appear by using Charles' placeholder along with traditional chunk brackets. Use this as a placeholder and it will render fine:

Thanks designcouch,

That got it working!!!
