Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. Although scripts and iframes are not allowed in Joomla’s editor by default, you can embed your form into your website using the steps provided in this guide.
Getting the Embed Code
To get your form’s embed code
- In the Form Builder, go to Publish at the top.
- Select Platforms on the left.
- Search and select Joomla.
- Copy the code provided.
Embedding Your Form Into Joomla
You can add a form to Joomla by using an extension, configuring text filters, or disabling the editor temporarily.
Disabling the editor temporarily
The easiest way to embed the form into your Joomla website is by disabling the default editor temporarily:
- In your Joomla dashboard, go to Systems on the left, then select Global Configuration.
- On the next page, set Default Editor to “Editor – None.”
- Paste the embed code into your article and save the changes.
- Go back to Global Configuration and reenable the editor.
If you’re looking for something permanent, you can try using an extension or setting up text filters.
Using an extension
The Sourcerer extension enables you to use JavaScript or iframe codes in Joomla.
To embed a form using an extension
- Install Sourcerer to your Joomla website.
- Create or edit an article.
- In the editor, open Content CMS on the left, then select Code from the menu.
- Paste your embed code in the dialog, then select Insert.
- Save the changes and preview your article.
See Getting Started With Sourcerer to learn more.
Setting up text filters
Embed your form without disabling editors or installing extensions by configuring Joomla text filters.
Note
The following example is for setting up TinyMCE’s text filter option for Super Users. Adjust accordingly for other editors and user roles.
To set up the text filters
- In your Joomla dashboard, go to System on the left, then select Plugins.
- On the next page, search and select TinyMCE.
- Select Set 0 (for Super Users).
- Scroll down and turn on Use Joomla Text Filter.
- Return to the main dashboard.
- Go to System on the left, then select Text Filters.
- Ensure that Super Users is set to “No Filtering.”
You should now be able to use embed codes in the article editor.

Every time I add the code, it includes all the other text on the page over again, along with the page headers and everything. Why is it duplicating the page instead of just putting in the form?

realmente essa é ótima, eu gostaria de deixa uma que eu estou procurando a muito tempo, pois não tenho conhecimento de HTML, então preciso de ajuda de alguns amigos, a minha procura é por uma ferramenta que ative um link e apos ser clicado volte à ativa-lo só depois depois de uma data pre programada, sei que isso é complicado, mais é possível criar tendo alguns conhecimentos de linguagem HTML, obrigado

There is no such option.

No problem, I use JCE as well. You will need to go to the user manager (site/user)and for editor select none. Once you have pasted your code into the article you can return back to the user manager and re-select jce as your editor. Be aware that anytime you open the article (or module) that has your code you will need to first go to the user manager and select no editor otherwise as soon as you open the article the code will be stripped.
Hope this helps.
