verification message will not go away

[mnymkr]

when I use the form in a module position , if i do not enter the correct verification code the error message will carry over to all other forms

let me give you an example

i have a form in a module position for a diamond quotes page

if i enter the incorrect SPAM letters I will get an error message

when I reenter the verification and it redirects to my front page

the message will appear for my front page form even though it is not anti spam

i cannot find the fix either

i see where you discuss it but do not see a clear fix

[admin]

ok guys, here we go!

open components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php and find:

Code: Select all

if ( md5($chrono_verification ) != $sessionvar ) {

add below it :

Code: Select all

JRequest::setVar('cf_wrong_security_code', 1);

save and close!

now open chronocontact.html.php at the same directory and find:

Code: Select all

<?php if($session->get('chrono_verification_msg', '', md5('chrono'))){ ?>

make it :

Code: Select all

<?php if(($session->get('chrono_verification_msg', '', md5('chrono')))&&(JRequest::getVar('cf_wrong_security_code') == 1)){ ?>

regards
Max

Hi Max and thanks for your time ...

I have made the modifications and it does not work for me.

If the captcha is wrong the message "You have entered an incorrect verification code at the bottom of the form" is submitted (that's correct). If the captcha is good i am redirected and the email is sent. But if click to my contact link 5 seconds later then i still have the "You have entered an incorrect verification code at the bottom of the form". That's weird because the form is empty at that moment...

Another problem: when the captcha is wrong i am not redirected to the same URL. My contact form is at index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=19 and i am redirected to index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=Contact
Any way to correct that ?

Tested under IE 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 under Windows Vista.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Guillaume,

the 2nd issue has no solution at the moment!

regarding the first one, are you testing the "component" page or the form in an article ? please test the pure form page because the fix was for this one, then we can fix the other the same way!

Regards
Max

Hi Max,

Your are right. I was using the form in an article. When i use the component i no longer have the problem.

But now i have a display problem like the one mnymkr explained here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11844&p=18722&hilit=%3Cdiv%3E#p18722

See my attached file for a screenshot.

Any way to correct the captcha problem (form in an article) or to correct my template problem ? (i use the rockettheme "Metamorph v2" template) ?

For the link problem i saw that you posted a solution some time ago for the 2.5 version. Any way to get the same fix for the 3.0 ver ?

Thanks again for your time and your advices.

Hi Guillaume,

for the layout issue, this will need some interaction with the CSS in the form or the css in your template, I think you need to remove the height:auto of the field or something, I'm really not sure, it depends on your template css too, you can try to disable the "load chronoforms files" setting at the general tab ?

the fix I mentioned for the verification code can be remade at plugins/content/chronocontact.php the only difference is that the 2 changes will be at the same file here!

where is the solution for the link problem ?

Hi Max,

You were right for the layout issue. I fixed the height value in the css file and the error goes away. Thanks !

I can't manage to find the

Code: Select all

if ( md5($chrono_verification ) != $sessionvar ) {

entry in the /plugins/content/chronocontact.php file. It seems easier (to me) to use the plugin/article way to make my contact page looks like ay other page. And under ie6 i have big problems cause the page is totaly messed-up.If that's not too time-consumming can u post the corrections to make to the /plugins/content/chronocontact.php file to correct the issue ? Thanks

For the link problem i am not able to find the forum post anymore. Looks like it was a dream

Thanks again for your time
Guillaume

Hi, I checked it, you need only the 2nd fix for that file, the first fix is already done at the component files!

let me know!

Max

You are the one Max ! It works great now with the article/plugin way ! Thanks

Only one problem left (the redirect link when the captcha is wrong) but i am sure that you are working on it
As a workaround is it possible to redirect to a static link ? I mean "hardcoding" in some file the path to my contact form so i am redirected to the good path ?

Thanks again
Guillaume

Very good idea!! but you will lose the submitted data

lets try this, at the same place you added the first fix and after the line you added, paste this code:

Code: Select all

function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
//if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}


after 2 lines you can find this line:

Code: Select all

showform($posted);

add just before it :

Code: Select all

$mainframe->redirect(curPageURL());

let me know!

Hi Max,

No success on this one. If a mistype the captcha i have the following message in IE 7:

Message

* Votre session a expiré, veuillez vous réidentifier

There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management)

(in English the first line will be: your session has expired, please identify yourself)

I have the same message with Firefox 2.0

I post my 2 files (components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php and /plugins/content/chronocontact.php) with my reply so you can take a look. I have renamed /plugins/content/chronocontact.php to plugin_chronocontact.php for the upload

Thanks again
Guillaume
