About Form2Content Forms & Fields

Form2Content forms are used to collect data to generate Joomla articles. Each content type has it's own form. Each form can have as many fields as you like. You can access the Fields Manager by clicking on the  in the Content Type Manager. Please read about article templating on how to get the data from the forms into your Joomla article.

Multi-line text (Text editor)

The text editor field is what we know from the Joomla article manager. This field will load your default (WYSIWYG) editor and allow you to do whatever you have set in the settings of the editor.

Text editor settings

The above images show the possible settings including length and width of the text editor and/or the number of rows and columns (in the form).

Adding the the text editor data in your article

The template parameter used to 'paste' the content into the article is very simple and only consists of the unique field name in CAPITALS.

Template parameter: {$FIELDNAME}

*(where FIELDNAME = the unique field name filled out in the settings)
