HI,

I am now using a development server to copy my live site to this development server including the database for the purpose of migrating joomla 2.x to 3.x. I want to assure it is working before copying back to live site.

I backed up the chronoforms on live site and restored back to the development site, and seems restoring ok. However, when i run a registration form, it gives me some db insert error to the coupon table. It said duplicate record of inserting blank record.

I have the following server side scripts to validate the coupon code entered, and i make sure the following scripts would be running only if coupon_code entered on the form is not EMPTY. However, it seems that the script is still running even if the form data is EMPTY. Is there anything wrong or DB Save is wrong here? I also attached my DB Save configuration.

<?php


if (!empty($form->data['coupon_code']))

{

$form->data['coupon_type'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_type'];
$form->data['coupon_times'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_times'];
$form->data['coupon_expiry'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_expiry'];
$form->data['coupon_id'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_id'];
$form->data['reseller_id'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_rid'];
$form->data['todaydate'] = date('Y-m-d');

if (($form->data['coupon_type']) == "T"){ 
  if (($form->data['coupon_times']) <= 0 ) {
      return false;
     }
  else
  {
   $form->data['coupon_times'] = $form->data['coupon_times'] - 1 ;
  }
}

if (($form->data['coupon_type']) == "D"){
  if (($form->data['coupon_expiry']) < $form->data['todaydate']) {
      return false;
     }
}
}
?>

Bob,

FYI that a new record is created and inserted to the coupon table now for a blank coupon code record, of which I expected that if there is no coupon code entered (EMPTY), then the steps should be ignored including DBSave.

I dont know why it works in joomla 2.5 and not in this joomla 3.5.

Thanks for your advice.

Regards,
Melinda

Hi Bob,

For some reason, i checked the existing site on joomla 2.5, a blank record is existed on the coupon table, but it just didn't complain a duplicate blank record is inserted but it does on joomla 3.5 version.

Regards,
Melinda

Hi Bob,

Attached is the error shown after the form is trying to insert another record instead of updating the blank record. It does not complain with this message on joomla 2.x but it does now on joomla 3.x

Thanks & Rgds,
Melinda

Hi melindamak,

Where exactly is your code to check the coupon entry? Is that in a Serverside Validation action? If so, what do you have in the Fail box of the action?

There appears to be a loop somewhere as the debugger output show the same data two or three times.

Bob

Yes Bob, there is a serverside validation script as shown in above script and also shown in below"

<?php


if (!empty($form->data['coupon_code']))

{

$form->data['coupon_type'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_type'];
$form->data['coupon_times'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_times'];
$form->data['coupon_expiry'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_expiry'];
$form->data['coupon_id'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_id'];
$form->data['reseller_id'] = $form->data['coup']['coupon_rid'];
$form->data['todaydate'] = date('Y-m-d');

if (($form->data['coupon_type']) == "T"){ 
  if (($form->data['coupon_times']) <= 0 ) {
      return false;
     }
  else
  {
   $form->data['coupon_times'] = $form->data['coupon_times'] - 1 ;
  }
}

if (($form->data['coupon_type']) == "D"){
  if (($form->data['coupon_expiry']) < $form->data['todaydate']) {
      return false;
     }
}
}
?>

Attached is the events of the form, where the scripts is run at the "Custom Server Side Validation" on the screen cap.

Strange thing is that it works fine under joomla 2.5 but not on joomla 3.5.

Hi Melinda,

What event is set in the Event Loop actions in the On Submit event?

Your custom code is not checking if the coupon code is empty - if it is empty the code there will be skipped but the form will still be submitted.

In the Debugger output both [coupon_code] and [coup][coupon_code] are empty. Is that correct?

Bob

Hi Bob,

EVent loop just "On Load" as default and quit next action, should I try using other target event?

Yes, it is fine as i still need to process form if coupon code is not provided. If coupon code is provided, i need to check the coupon table to find out the validity of the coupon code and then deduct the number of times if needed, so need to update coupon table again with same coupon_id after running the server side validation script and then updated by using DB Save.

However, firstly, it seems to me that the DB save will create a new BLANK record instead if no matched coupon value record is found. No error is generated for first time on this case.

For second time, If blank record is created on table, I believe in joomla 2.5, this record will still keep updating with DB save while they coupon_code is EMPTY but provided coupon_id, and thus no complaint of updating existing blank record. However, in joomla 3.x, DB save is to create another new blank record instead of updating the blank record with duplicate coupon value (which is blank/null too). From the debugger above, at first the coupon id is null, and then after running dbloader, it becomes 22 for the coupon_id, so i presume at least it will just update this record with blank value, and NOT INSERTING ANOTHER NEW RECORD INSTEAD, I hope you understand my question here.

the coupon id is starting with null then to 22 and then back to null, I think there is something wrong with the event ordering and cause the coupon id becomes null again. Can u help me to point that out? But again, this process ordering does not create any problem on joomla 2.x - which makes me curious on this also?

So, i dont want the form to insert a blank record to coupon table if no coupon is loaded from the dbloader of the coupon table OR if the coupon code form field is EMPTY, how should i do this? I think if this can be done, then the other problems on wrong insert of new record would be solved.


Thanks so much Bob!

Melinda
