Example code for using eform in a chunk

Can anyone provide and example of this? My chunk is just spitting out the code instead of the form. I have tried changing the cache settings. I believe this is possible using an additional snippet? Would rejoice if a working example could be provided.

Looks like I'm able to call eform from within a chunk! I've changed the call from [! to [[ ... but when I try to drop variables inside the chunk that eform uses for the form I get nothing.

Can you be more precise with your question ?

I use eForm pretty much solely via chunks - but I don't fully understand your question

If my understanding is correct, you want to call the snippet via a chunk - stupid question maybe - why ?

You can call the form directly in the content field.


If the page itself is cached call the snippet uncached

If the page is uncached, call the snippet how you wish as the page will be (re)rendered every time it's called [ed. note: iusemodx last edited this post 8 years, 11 months ago.]

I'm calling eform via chunk because I need to pass a variable into the form. Specifically, I need to pass the address of a property into an input field so that the user doesn't have to type it in. This address is dynamic based on the property page that they are viewing.

I am by far no eForm expert, but I have managed to get all of my forms working to date

Have you got this working now ?

Is the value you need a preset TV per page / ID ?

Can you post your eForm call + chunks etc. ?

Not so long ago I was stuck trying to get page titles and other info from child pages, so I came up with this

It may or may not help your situation.

I was able to make some progress on this as seen here:

no my issue is the eform validation clears out the dynamic value that gets set for my property address.
