The contact us form on this site is telling my that by validation code is incorrect ? I would love some help installing this component on my new Joomla 1.5 install

Hi glorybound,

It's late here now but you'll find a modified install xml file for 1.5 if you search the forums here that will let you install in legacy mode. Some users have found this OK, others have had odd bugs. Max is working on a 1.5 version as fast as his time allows but I don't think it's going to be a stable release for a while yet.

Thanks for the reply. I did find that and tried it, but once I created the form I had issues. My html code gets screwed up. See below? (can't see it, but the code has slashes all over the place.)

name: <input name=\\\"name\\\" value=\\\"\\\"type=\\\"text\\\"><br>
e-mail: <input name+\\\"email\\\"value=\\\"\\\"type=\\\"text\\\"><br>
<input name=\\\"submit\\\"value=\\\"submit\\\"type=\\\"submit\\\">

and this is the form:

Hi glorybound,

You've hit one of the bugs :-( it's a problem with magic_quotes - seems that if Magic Quotes are on then Joomla 1.5 doesn't behave the same way as 1.0.x. What's happening is that each time the code is saved each quote is re-quoted so the slashes mount up exponentially.

It you have access to your php.ini you can try turning magic quotes off, that should do the trick.

unfortunatly I do not have access to my php.ini. I'll contact my Host, but usually it is what is.
