CURL

I am having difficulty getting CURL plugin to cooperate.

Is there a working example?... My form works with the standard CF url redirection...but I need to use curl.

The plugin is active... any help is appreciated

Hi carew,

There's nothing 'special' about the CURL. plugin Can you post screenshots of your settings here?

Bob

Bob:

Here are my settings:






This works if I place the curl params url in the form action field.

When I remove and rely on curl...nothing...

Thanks for looking Bob.

Hi carew,

What's on the CURL plugin Params tab?

Bob

Bob:

Here are the curl params...



(which work if used in the action redirect)

Thanks Bob

Hi carew,

The url there should just be the root part ...formcapture.php

The go to the General tab and put this in the Extra Fields data box:

v=1
w=60

Bob

Bob:

That does not work either for me...

I have tried numerous approaches with the curl plugin...perhaps it does not work with php forms?

my form requires an ? at the url end. Where in the curl plugin could I hack that in?

Trying not to abandon the curl approach😉

This is an open request for anyone who has managed to get the curl plugin working.

Trying to trouble shoot why everything but curl seems to work with chronoforms.

Is there a trick, I am missing?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi carew,

The only problem I've seen with the cURL Plugin is in one case with SalesForce when there was a slightly quirky format that they required. It works fine otherwise.

You do not want the ? on the end of the URL. The plugin will create a correctly formatted query string including the ? at the beginning and append that to the URL.

i just want to transfer the data to another site from the form and keep the data on my site so,how we can use the curl plugin in chronocontact 3.1 RC5.5

Hi udaydahale,

Check the Help tab if there is one. The setup is very similar to the ReDirect plugin so that may help. There are quite a few posts here on one or the other.

Bob

Hi.. did you get this fixed? I have the exact same problem.
Thanks
Stephanie

We did not get Curl working there is an inconsistency that keeps it from working in some forms.

I was hoping someone else would resolve it or convince the admins that there is an real issue.

I can't seem to make the case... it's too bad, I could really use curl functionality.

Please let me know what you determine.

regards,

Sean

Hi Sean,

With some limitiations* - which have been fixed in the current development version - cURL works fine. I see that you didn't reply to my last post about the '?'

Bob

* Known problems: handling arrays values incorrectly; blank entries in the textarea; customisable CURLOPTS, accepting input values in the text area.

Bob:

I did try every combination offered. It works as expected through redirect...and does not work in any combination using the curl plugin... so I abandoned the Curl plugin approach.

Has there been a fix since I raised the issue?

Regards,

Sean

Hi Sean,

Hard to say. Still looks as though you probably have a bad entry in the Target URL box.

As I say, CURL works with the exceptions I've given - and provided that you have CURL installed in your PHP set up (most do). There's nothing else to fix.

Bob

Bob:

Thanks for your reply, to be clear, I haven't tried the beta yet...which I will do.

I shifted my development focus elsewhere and worked around curl the issue.

I had no problem getting the data to the external form page using redirect functionality - curl didn't work for me trying various suggested approaches.

I noticed there are two zips, one is curl, other is plugins...

How would you proceed? I am thinking to rename the curl plugin and add your beta.

Regards,

Sean
