Hi, I just installed the RSForm, everything went fine on the installation, just that it is not showing in the component area. SO I was send to
www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...ing-admin-menus.html


The component actually installs properly, but the back-end access menu items are not published. This can be easily resolved by following the below steps:
Access a sample form via its directly URL:
site.com/administrator/index.php?option=...=forms.edit&formId=1
Head to the Scripts tab, and add the following code in the Scripts called on form display area:
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery("SELECT extension_id FROM #__extensions WHERE `element`='com_rsform'
AND `type`='component'");
$db->setQuery("UPDATE #__menu SET component_id='".$db->loadResult()."' WHERE
id > 1 AND component_id=0 AND `type`='component' AND `link` LIKE
'index.php?option=com_rsform%'");
$db->query();
die();

Just that I dont understand where the script tab where I need to enter this code is...

Thnaks for your help.

Hello,

I tested it for you.
In the properties tab you wil see the php scripts part.
Stil it wouldn't work in the new versions.

So I fixed it in the database.
Go too e.g. PHPMyAdmin
Do#__extensions = your table name e.g. joomla_extensions

Write down the id.
Do#___menu = your table name e.g. joomla_menu

Write down the id.
Do#___menu = your table name e.g. joomla_menu
FIRST_ID = the first id you found
SECOND_ID = the second id you found

good luck

Hi,
Yes I had this problem today too. It's a worry when you download a component and it doesn't work correctly straight away. I have used RSForms on a few sites - and it is very good - so I was determined to make it install my admin menus. I saw the responses to this problem about clicking on a 'Scripts' tab - and I wasn't sure what "Scripts' tab this was referring to? Anyway - after a bit of trial and error - I found that if you go the template form via site.com/administrator/index.php?option=...=forms.edit&formId=1
(and obviously change the site.com bit to your own site's URL) - then go to the "Properties" tab on the form page - then go down to the 'PHP Scripts' tab in the left column and add the code I have pasted below to the $formLayout field and/or to the $_POST field (I added it to both as I don't know which is correct). Then click on the "Save" button in the top right of the page. Then maybe the "Preview' button as well. Once I had done this - and cleared my cache - the Admin menus appeared at last! (Don't forget to remove the code from the Script fields and click save again or they will be forever stuck in the Sample Template.) I hope this clarifys things for someone. Good luck.
