Premise: I have joomla 4 at the latest version and I am preparing to upgrade to Joomla 5 - PHP 8.2
I just upgraded from chronoForms7 to version 8.
With version 7 everything worked correctly, even the forms inserted into articles via plugins.
With version 8 the form works correctly if only if I create a dedicated menu item.
If I use the plugin to insert my form into an article (or if I use a module funcion for this), the form no longer works:
- The form appears correctly and also correctly handles checking the formal validity of the e-mail;
- When the submit button is pressed, the page is simply reloaded without any submission;
- The data log is not updated;
- The email is not sent;
- The response message does not appear.
Even examining the debug, it appears that the submit button (in the plugin or module activated form) only performs the page refresh.
I also tried using the basic template “Cassiopeia”, but the problem persists, so it is not due to my template.
What could be the problem? What could I analyze to understand the reason?
Tanks, Marco
I tried to create an article with just the plugin callback string. (The only element of the article is the form callback string)
To be safe, I used the default template (Cassiopeia) and a default form already in the application.
The problem persists.
mots probably this is a cache issue, do you have cache enabled on your website ? please disable it and try again, or disable it for this page only
I confirm it's a problem with Joomla's base cache.
I have to put global cache off, but this is a problem because I use Redis cache.
The System Page Cache plugin that allow to exclude certain menu items (pages) doesn't help to solve the problem.
why the system page cache does not work for this case ? you have the form under its own page, right ?
