Cant get machform to work with joomla 3.1

    ive just purchased machform
    im running joomla latest version 3.1 locally on wamp server.
    ive installed machform locally on wamp server.

    i can get machform working and create my forms, however when i try to add into joomla with any of the methods i cant get it to work?
    could anybody offer any help?
    if i paste any of the codes into a HTML Module they dont work?

    the only thing i can get to work is creating a link from a menu using the link option in the form code. this just opens up the form and breaks it out of the current site so its just the form on its own in a page.

    i do know there are plenty of joomla ready forms but i want to be able to use all the extra features of machform.

    I was going to say it looks like you might be copying the MF code into the "WYSIWYG" view of the article editor or something, but I'm getting the exact same behaviour. the MF is not loading in an article or Custom HTML module. Whatever method I use all it creates is a link that opens an new tab/window with the MF form.

    I think somehow, Joomla is stripping the code tags (e.g. iframe, or javascript tags) (I forget where, but I'm sure there is an option so you can force it to allow JavaScript and such to be inserted into article editor).

    I would agree about Joomla forms - there are probably some good ones out there (that you'd pay comparably to Machform for) - pity Machform itself is not "ported" to Joomla or Wordpress as a component / plugin!
