Chronoforms vs SEF Url for Joomla 1.6

Hi everybody.
Such a strange thing has occurred to me with my Joomla 1.6 installation: after activating Chronoform plugin, the activation of SEF Url option from Global Configuration Panel results in an error on URLs syntax.
I made you an example: the page <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.miosito.it.localhost/it/products">www.miosito.it.localhost/it/products</a><!-- w --> is changed in <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.miosito.it.localhost/it/it/products">www.miosito.it.localhost/it/it/products</a><!-- w -->, that is a blank page.
I'd like you to help me know wheter Chronoforms could work toghetere with SEF Url option or not.
I tried using every other free forms generator released for Joomla 1.6 but they are light-year far from Choroform.

Thank You in advance

Hi alsbene,

Sorry, I have no idea. ChronoForms doesn't do anything clever with URLs but usually works OK with SEF URLs.

I don't see anything in the Plug-in code that would change the URL at all :-(

Today I found out that I have exactly the same problem on my website. See my post on the Joomla.org website:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=617&t=618807&p=2503748#p2503748

SEF worked fine all the time, until I installed and activated the plugin. It changes the URL's for all the menu items on the website into a double language code.

I don't know if the same happens on a single language website, without activation of the Joomla 1.6 language switch plugin

Deactivating the plugin, actually solved another issue for me as well: form validation wasn't working in IE9, but now it is ...

Hi Dutch,

Just to check: are you saying that the ChronoForms plug-in changed all the menu URLs on your site?

Bob

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the delayed reply, I wasn't subscribed to this topic.

When I enable SEF URL's in Joomla 1.6.3 (Global Configuration - Site), and I enable the chronoforms plugin (V4 RC1.8 ) at the same time, I get a double language code in every menu URL, like http://www.cabanelles.com/index.php/nl/nl/route, instead of http://www.cabanelles.com/index.php/nl/route. And a 404 error when I click on a menu item. So the answer to your question is yes.

When I disable the chronoforms plugin, the menu URL's become as they should be with a single language code. Changing the order of the plugins doesn't help.

Hi Marc,

Oh . . .

Hopefully Max will be able to discover what is causing this for the next release.

Hello! I have exactly the same problem of alesbene:
if I use chronoforms in a multilanguage site and I try to use SEF, I get a double language code in every menu URL And a 404 error when I click on a menu item... have you a solution?

The same thing happened to me,

i fixed it by doing the following:

- open the plugin file in: plugins/content/chronoforms/chronoforms.php
- remove or comment the code:

$mainframe->initialise();

on line 7

Hi Buro26,

Well found!! Thanks for posting the fix.

Bob

hi buro26!
Thank you very much! now it works!

I tried this by removing $mainframe->initialize();
But it did not work for me, any ideas, maybe I am doing it wrong. Here is the website, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.technologyforgood.com">www.technologyforgood.com</a><!-- w -->.

Hi MG7,

Ok - I can see the problem now* - just need to work out how to fix it.

Bob

In CFv4 the form submit action is set to the current URL. I think that this was done to avoid some other problems - but on the home page the form then submits to a broken URL.

I think I am just going to take it off the home page for now and just create an image link to the form that is working. Until a fix is good for it.

Thank you Bob,

Kindest Regards!

Hi,

I have the same problem on my page and I need urgently a form but I can't renounce on SEF. Did you make some progress in this question?

warm regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Max has said 'hopefully in a few days' - I don't get any other advance notice so I check the download page every day or so.
