Form shown twice after failed validation on email

SpaceCowboy 11 Jul, 2009
Hello,
Ive setup a form that is accesible from the homepage, a simple registration form and when i fill it in, with a duplicate email address an error is shown. The problem with this is:
1. the errror messages have ?? before and after the error statment
2. the form is duplicated.

On the 2nd point i read a post with an identical problem, it was suggested, "A couple of possibilites: one is to turn off the module on the form page; the better one here is probably not to use the module but to include all teh contact page text into the form HTML. That will make life simpler all round."

Sorry but im not sure how to do either of the two options above. Could someone guide me here?

Hi spacecowboy,

Please post a link to the form so that we can see what is happening there and what the best solution is.

Hi Bob thanks for the quick reponse.
The site is still local and not published anywhere. Can i provide you with any other info that would be helpful instead?

Hi spacecowboy,

Please will you post - or email to me - a screenshot of the page showing the error message and the double display.

Hi spacecowboy,

Thanks - all a bit mysterious.

The error message text is straight out of the Joomla language files (en-Gb.ini line 315) - I don't recognise the ??+dot styling. Could be from the template css, or could be a Character set artifact of some kind.

I can't see why you'd get the form twice either . . .

Two request please - will you set debugging to 'Yes' in the Form general Tab and in the Plugin Configuration Tab and resubmit. Let's see if that offers any clues.

Will you also take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and send that to me so that I can try the form on my test site.

The strange question marks ive noticed are all through my joomla interface some im guessing some character set issue?

forgot the form
i could not find the Plugin Configuration Tab so just turned on the first debug request, this didnt show anything on the page.
Ive attached the form and have had to rename the extension to txt to get it to upload
