new form access

I have created a new form via the wizard and when trying to submit data I get the following error:

You are not allowed to access this URL

I have checked with other forms that I have created and can't work out where to look to resolve this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi tcole,

From memory we see this mainly in two cases:[list]

There are <form> tags inside the Form HTML

There is some site URL redirection other than standard SEF URLs. We've seen it with a $live_site setting redirecting form sub-domains and occasionally with redirection from example.com to http://www.example.com

[/list]
Please can you post a link to the form so that we can take a quick look.

Bob,
the link:

Also I have ordered the cookbook.🙂

Hi tcole,

The obvious thing wrong is the textarea at the end that displays HTML. Checking the page source it isn't properly closed

<textarea class="cf_inputbox" rows="25" title="" id="text_18" cols="30" name="efplayenames">>/textarea>

That closing tag should be </textarea>

This removes the </form> tag from the form and my guess is that it sets off the Joomla! alarms when the data is submitted.

Bob,
Thanks for picking up that.
I normally pick up on those, but I guess old age is now starting to affect me.😟

Now that I have the 'guts' of what I doing, I can refine things.
I do appreciate all your help.

Cheers

Cookbook by Bob.

I have just downloaded my PDF version and I have a 'real' version on it's way as well.

Bob, we must be showing our age. You talk about punchcard programing, my wife was a punchcard operator many years ago.🙂

Awsume job of the book, I have just skim a couple of sections, but plenty in there that I can use.

Thanks heaps for the book.🙂

Cheers, Terry

Hi Terry,

Thanks for buying the book. My printed copies arrived yesterday aso I do now think that it is 'real'.

PS Nothing like dropping a box of punched cards to get you to take care of your code.
