Hi all, I’m new in the use of Mautic, and I’d like to setup Mautic Forms in my Joomla 3.6.2 site. I installed the Mautic-Joomla pligin. The point is that I’d like to launch a popup with the form, but I don’t know how to write the code sentence to do it.  
  
  
  
As far as I know, in order to launch a popup on a modal basis or with another plugin, sintax will include href:“yourformURL”, but when i declare href="{mauticform 1}" did not work.  
  
  
  
I deeply appreciate some advise on how to solve this  
  
  
  
Thank you in advance  
  
  
  
Joan

I’ve never been able to get the Mautic-Joomla plugin to work; I suspect it hasn’t been updated for a while.

I did get a sliding corner popup to work; a normal popup might be a little easier.

The general gist of it was a put some CSS into the Custom Head plugin to style and animate the popup. Then I created a custom module with an HTML form, as well as javascript to open and close the popup, drop a cookie (so the popup stopped launching across the site after they closed it), and also a function to submit the form data to a PHP script that sends it on to Mautic using POST.

It’s fairly complicated, and my code might not be readily adaptable to what you want, but if you like I can dig it up for you.
