Troubles with Joomla integration


  1. Hi,

    I have troubles for integration of MachForm in a Joomla page.

    I read and tried severals ways but it is without success.

    This site has a specific template.

    I get my form in the page after I included PHP code but both menus are not displayed. If I delete PHP code then menus are back.

    I think there is a trouble with CSS files and « height » parameter in particular.

    Hope someone could help me for this very important point... after that this site will be released !

    then Click on English Flag / then click on Individuals then click Reservation (menu below)

    You will see a form generated by Mach Form but both menus below are not displayed.

    Extract of CSS configuration for :
    MachForm
    {
    background:#fffff;
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size:small;
    margin:8px 0 16px;
    text-align:center;
    }

    #form_container
    {
    border:1px solid #ccc;
    margin:0 auto;
    text-align:left;
    width:640px;
    height:100%;

    }

    Specific Template « Reservation » ==> #texte is where form is displayed
    #textebackground {
    height:504px;
    background: url(../images/fond_droite.jpg) top left no-repeat;
    }

    #texte {
    height:500px;
    overflow-y:auto;
    }

    #texte .contentpaneopen {
    padding-right:10px;
    }

    If you need an administrator access for Joomla... I create one and I will send you by MP

    Thanks a lot again for any help

    PS : Sorry for my poor english

  2. All you need to do is adjust the height of the iframe, not the CSS.

    I would suggest you copy the iframe embed code from your Machform, to Notepad and change the height attribute of the iframe.

    Then copy that whole line of code to your Joomla. That should make the scroll bar disappear.

    There's also an option to "never" show the scroll bar - but not sure that works in al browsers Better to go with changing the height to a little more than it is now - try say 50 px more and then with trial and error adjust it up/down to your liking.

    Since you're using Joomla CMS rather than something like Dreamweaver, you may have less control over HTML code in the WYWIWYG editor, or the interface may be limited in letting you control how HTML controls and elements are set on the page.
