Hi, my question might look awkward but I need to be able to insert a form in one of those text blocks which are available as widgets… I've tried all sorts of syntax like  <!--cforms--> and all the variations. None worked...

I'm very unexpert at php.

Would some body give me some understandable guidance…

Thanks a lot

I am having the same problem. I have tried all the syntax suggested to insert the form into a widget but no joy.

Im a little confused about what the help page says about this. Can i insert a form directly into the "text" widget, or do i need to alter the php code in a file somewhere?

Any help hugely appreciated

ok, i understand this. Please clarify if this should work:

I go to widgets> text> insert: <!--cforms name="form name"--> > save changes


I am doing this but the form is not showing. I have used the other syntax too. I am using the right form name. any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, I think I know what you're trying to do – use cForms in a sidebar widget, but not the cForms sidebar widget so that you can have text around it. Is that right?

I've managed to do that by using the php syntax: <?php insert_cform('1'); ?>

inside a PHP widget, rather than the cForms widget.

The widget is called php-code-widget, you should be able to find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl…..de-widget/

Hopefully that helps!

the documentation clearly spells out the different ways to insert a form.

obviously this does require some level of PHP knowledge.

the general WP widget feature is fully supported.
