Captcha Reload Suggestion

Postby johnnyl on Sun Mar 30, 2008 11:32 pm

Currently the captcha will default to a reload of the Chrono form if the captcha is typed incorrectly, rather than reload the full page the form was actually on.

ie: the reload will take it to here:
domain.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=form_name

rather than the SEF URL originating page here:

domain.com/form_submit

A suggestion would be an option in the backend to specify a URL to redirect to on a captcha reload, rather than just reloading the Chronoform itself and not the original page the form was on.

Benefits to including this option in the backend would be:
1) Prettier URL redirect
2) Original page is re-rendered on reload instead of going to a form only page.

Love your Chronoform plugin!

Thanks,

Hi Johnnyl,
Personally i'd like to see the opposite approach, where only the captcha field is reloaded, or even, an error message comes up without any reloading at all. That way visitors would not lose all data they already entered into the fields.

Ooh.. That's a good idea too. A simple reload of the captcha only or an error message only would be good...

Hi All,

Good suggestion but will need AJAX, and the worst issue of AJAX is that if your page has a JS error then it will not work fine, but a really cool idea and we may get it implemented and leave it optional!
