I see a visible email in the the email field of a form.

The e-mail with JS code happens due to the email clocking plugin in Joomla. Publish the redFORM plugin after the email cloak plugin and this will be solved.

I have problems submitting the forms / forms not working.

Make sure you have a jmsg in your template. If you are in doubt put in the below code above the jdoc:include type=component tag.

Code:

<jdoc:include type="message" />

Error messages and generic feedback etc. will be sent to that jmsg.

How to set up your first form:

First make a new form.

Make the fields

Make the values and set their fieldtype (make sure that for mailinglist integration it must be Fullname for a name field and Email for the emailfield and not textfields)

Then go back to the form overview and copy the redform tag code {redform}1{/redform}

Then make a new Article and call it say "Formular" and then paste in the redform tag code {redform}1{/redform}

Then go to your menu and make a new link to the article Formular and now you have a link to the formular + you have the option to style the article page where the form is placed on 100% + you can CSS style the form itself using the unique css tags on the form (which you can name in the form under the css option)

Once you load the article in the frontend the form will go "live".

Also make sure the date for start and ending (if set to expire) for the form is set correctly.

I followed the instructions and I still have the email showing in the email field of the form.

I unpublished the both plugins. Assured that I had the email cloak plugin BEFORE the redFORM plugin and then republished the plugins and making sure I published the email cloak plugin before I published the redFORM plugin.

The email still shows in the email field of the form.

What have I done wrong?

The email is supposed to show in the email field.

The problem is if you have some code in the field caused by the joomla email cloaking javascript code beeing put inside the field.

-Paste it in where?

I have the same problem. If I turn email cloaking on, I get the code in the email box and the modules on my home pages jump into the centre.
If I turn email cloaking off, everything is displayed as it should.

I have tried to place the email plugin before the redform plugin and turn them off and on again. But it does not change anything.

Do we have to un-install redform or ....?

UPDATE:
I just did that: un-installed the redForm component. Turned off email cloaking plugin.
Installed redForm component, turned off the redForm plugin. Moved to the position after the email cloak plugin. Enabled the email plugin, then I enabled the redForm plugin. And it is now working!

thank you
