You are not allowed to access this URL

I have Chronoforms installed on my website <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ingletonholidaycottage.co.uk">www.ingletonholidaycottage.co.uk</a><!-- w -->. It works fine. However when I come to use the form on one of my redirects (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ingletonholidaycottage.com">www.ingletonholidaycottage.com</a><!-- w -->) it fails on submit with a 'You are not allowed to access this URL'. Why does it do this and how can I stop it?

Thanks.

Hi wedgels,

Haven't I just answered this in a PM or an email?

Joomla is not generally designed to be used with redirects; there are form security tokens setup to prevent form presented from one domain being submitted from another. The security token used is linked to a domain specific cookie,

You can try turning off the Security token setting in the Form General tab (there is a bug with this which has been discussed in the forums here), But I'm not sure that this will solve your problem.

You you did. Sorry but I never seemed to get the email. Thanks for the answer. QUite a lot of people must have multiple domains (for example having a .com and a .co.uk etc.) I wonder how they get around the issue.

Thanks Bob - that works. You say there is bug with this though - everything seems to work okay - what does the bug cause to go wrong? ie should I be on the lookout for any problems elsewhere now I have made the token change?

Hi wedgels,

The bug is that removing the security token check doesn't quite remove it. No ill side-effects, just isn't 100% effective. If it's working for you that's fine.
