Before you paste the code onto your Joomla article, you need to make certain settings for your Joomla website, in order to allow the JavaScript code of our web forms to run. To enable these settings, just follow the steps below.

1. Access the Site menu → Global Configuration → Text Filters and for Super Users make sure the No Filtering option is enabled.
2. In the Extensions tab go to Plugin Manager → Editor TinyMCE → Basic Options → New Lines: Br Elements → Prohibited Elements. Make sure you remove Script and iFrame from that list.
3. While still in Extensions, access Template Manager → Templates and choose your active template. Click on its name to edit it.

   https://www.123formbuilder.com/includes/tinybox/tinyboxstyle.css
   Make sure the line is added within the tags of the file.
   (Optional: if you don’t have $doc = JFactory::getDocument(); declared already, add it before $doc->addStyleSheet).
5. Now go to the article you want to insert forms to. In Edit Article click on Source Code (or Tools → Source Code).
6. In your 123FormBuilder dashboard, access the form editor, and go to Publish → Embed form → Lightbox. Choose the option you need (text link, image link, floating button, or auto popup), then copy the form code and paste it into the Joomla article source code box. Save the content and you’re done.

The answers of your choice fields (Single choice, Multiple choice, Dropdown) and the statements of your Likert Scale can be randomized.

In the form builder, select the desired field and access the settings on the left-side panel. Afterward, go to Options and tick the option called Randomize choices. This will reorder the options of your field each time the form is accessed.

This feature is best suited for online quizzes to prevent submitters from cheating while answering the questions.

You can redirect users to a form report after they have filled out and sent the form. This can be either the default report or a custom report that you have designed in the Reports section.

The option of redirect users to your report after submission works best with surveys and survey reports.

You can enable this option by going to Thank you section and selecting Show report option. If you have multiple reports created, select, in the dropdown list, the report that you want to use. After clicking Submit, users will see the report that you have selected.

The autofocus on the first field is usually useful. However, there are situations when it gets in the way of a clean user experience. For example, if there is more textual content at the beginning of your form (an HTML block containing information or instructions). In such cases, you really don’t want the cursor to jump on the first input field automatically since the information above would go unseen.

With the recent changes made to our platform, autofocus is automatically disabled. However, if you have older forms on which autofocus is still on, you can disable it easily.

Go to Publish -> Embed form section. Right below the title of the section, you have the option of disabling Autofocus.

With 123FormBuilder, you can easily retrieve the address and the coordinates of your users with the help of our Google map field. On the map, users can pinpoint locations or add their address and the GPS coordinates are auto-filled into a separate Address and Short text field.

Here’s how to retrieve the address and coordinates from your Google map field.

In the Form Editor add the following 3 fields:

• Google map field
• Address field
• Short text field

Connect your Google map API and add your preferred default address. Read this article for more details.

Afterward, assign the Google map field to the Short text and Address field from its Edit Field panel.

The two fields will automatically receive the data from the location selected on the map. The map is interactive by default. This means that users can navigate through the map and also view the map in satellite mode.

We recorded a short video to demonstrate how this works. Check it out below to see how the Address and the Coordinates (short text) fields are prefilled with the information collected from the Google map field.

Yes, you can specify a minimum number of choices for a multiple choice field.

Once you have added a Multiple choice field, in the left side panel, under the Validation section, you will find the Min. no of choices option.

Use cases

If you want your respondents to select a specific number of choices (e.g. exactly 2 choices), you’ll need to specify the same value for both the maximum and the minimum number of choices. Make sure the value typed in for the Min no. of choices doesn’t exceed the value you have for your Max no. of choices, otherwise you’ll receive an error.

When your respondents don’t select the minimum number of choices you’ve set up, they will receive an error message. You can change the text of the message in the Languages → System Messages section.
