Hello,

I've started testing my completed forms before they go live. All is going well but after entering in the incorrect verification code on purpose, I noticed all of the fields are empty after the page redirects with the error message.

Is there anyway to keep the content the user has filled out (I only have name, email, message) or least just the message field?

Thanks in advance.

Hi sam18204,

On the form General Tab set "Republish fields if error occured" to "Try to republish"

this worked. thank you and happy new year

On the form General Tab set "Republish fields if error occured" to "Try to republish"

Ok. But how to fix it when the form has a HTML editor text area like in submitcontent sample form?
The other text fields (title and alias) keep the data but not fulltext.

Thanks in advance.

Hi camerata,

In the Form HTML you need to set the default value for the text area:

$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display( 'fulltext', JRequest::getString('fulltext', '', 'post'), 
  '80%', '350', '55', '20', false ) ;

should to it
