Form Won't Submit

I'm not sure what I'm missing but the form just won't submit. 😟
The information on the "emails" tab are filled in and are valid.

Thanks!!

Hi LikeStuff,

Not enough information there to say anything much useful I'm afraid. If it doesn't submit then it's probably a validation setting?

Please post a link to the form so we can take a quick look.

Hi Greyhead,

I had posted the issue in another post. When I click on "Frontend view" the form submits fine, but when I add the form to a menu, it does not submit.

I'm searching the forum to see if I can find a solution.

Thanks!!

Ok so it appears that my form does not work if I leave "Event" on the menu blank. If I put "submit" it works except that the verification message appears at the top of the form by default. I suspect I have some of my events in the wrong order. I changed some around but there's no difference so I've attached a pic for some feedback.

Thanks!!

Hi Likestuff,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look. That will let me test your form with the menu options instead of my simple test forms.

The first part of the OnSubmit sequence here is clearly wrong. Think of it as a vertical flow chart that ChronoForms will work through step by step.

[list=1]
  • Check Captcha - if Fail, Event Loop & Stop; if Success Continue

  • Server Side Validation - if Fail, Event Loop & Stop; if Success Continue

  • Upload Files - if Fail, Event Loop & Stop; if Success Continue
  • [/list:o]
    after that all looks fine.

    Thanks for the offer Greyhead. I just sent you the file.

    Hi LikeStuff,

    Thanks for the form.

    I'm sorry to say that I created a new menu item using contact in the Form Name box and it works perfectly. It submits, validates, sends emails with no problem at all.

    I still have no clue about the Menu problem you are seeing here :-(

    PS I hadn't realised that the form had been created with the Easy Wizard, that adds a lot of 'unused' Actions in a sequence that isn't especially useful. You can remove the unwanted ones. The sequence I got down to was:[list=1]
  • Check Captcha (note - this doesn't need a Show Stopper on Fail, that's built in to the Event Loop)

  • Auto Server Side Validation

  • Email - #1

  • Show Thanks Message
    [*}Debugger (for testing only)[/list]
  • [/list:o]

    First thank you so much for looking at the form - really appreciate it.

    The problem I'm having with the menu still exists and maybe it stems from the menu fix I added via this post: http://chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=26&t=21361 or it's probably a bug😟 .

    When I test the form from the menu it does not send unless I put "submit" in the event field. However, when I click on the menu the verification code messages show without doing anything, please see the attached.

    The form does works perfectly if I click "Frontend view" in the Forms Manager. But I need to add it as a menu item so I'm stumped...

    Thanks again!!

    Hi LikeStuff,

    I think that Max has added a couple of fixes in this area in the new RC1.8 release; please will you upgrade and see if the problem is solved. You may need to recreate the menu item - I'm not sure about that.
