Form Name not saved

waldi 04 Sep, 2008
Newest CF for J1.5.x. Ive created a Form with some HTML Code. Everything fine.
Now i changed the html code and saved again and now the form name is not saved anymore, its just empty. No Error Message.
I have to input it in the db in order to get the form work in the frontend.

Anyone an idea?

Hi waldi,

this is a known issue, find in your HTML a field with :

name="name"


make it something else like :

name="name1" OR name="fullname"

then save again and all will be fine!

Hi matt,

how did you create your form ? wizard or your own code ? either or, get into the form edit page by clicking its name or checking the box beside it and click edit button at the top, then go to "Form code" tab and to HTML code, and find name="name" there!

Cheers

Hi,
thanks for that name="name" workaround. Weird bug, huh? Some regex problem?
Well now its name1😉

Thanks for the workaround info. I was having the same problem, and that is a nice and easy fix.

I'm using beta 2 now, so I'm guessing the fix you mentioned won't show up till there's another release?

of course.
