Sanity Check Please

Hi all

I have a form on this site:

<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.reflectivesource.com">www.reflectivesource.com</a><!-- w -->

It's the Quick Quote form in the right hand column.

When submitted, I get the error:

You are not allowed to access this URL

I've tried checking the HTML and using another browser to make sure there is nothing in my cache but the same still happens.

There is no redirect on completing the form, just a message typed into the box using the Form Wizard.

The odd thing is that I'm sure it was working up until last week. The only thing I did was add captcha to it as I was getting some spam through it. I removed that and turned off the anti spam through the admin but it hasn't changed it.

Best regards

Andy

Hi Andy,

From a quick look there is some kind of redirection going on between <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.reflectivesource.com">www.reflectivesource.com</a><!-- w --> and reflectivesource.com (some of the resulting urls are missing the index.php part - don't know if this is important or not).

Somewhere the submitted data is being lost and ChronoForms thinks that an empty form has been submitted.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the reply. I found another post with a similar answer. How can you tell about the redirection? The domain is not one I control and it's interesting as I've installed this on domains that I control myself and it's always worked perfectly.

Hi

Just to let people know what the resolution was on this one. The SEO company had added a directive to the .htaccess file that directed anything from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domain.com/index.php">www.domain.com/index.php</a><!-- w --> back to just <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domain.com">www.domain.com</a><!-- w -->.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the update - that would certainly explain the results I saw. Good to know.

It seems to me that using a Joomla! aware SEF tool like AceSEF or sh440SEF has some distinct advantages over .htaccess hacks. Though AceSEF just had a disastrous upgrade experience :-(
