Error: You are not allowed to access this URL d...

I just installed this on J1.5.1. Everything went real smooth. I made a form visible here: http://www.onsiteil.com/chronocontact/form1.html (it's just a copy of a form I use on another site). The form appears fine but after submitting I get an error:

You are not allowed to access this URL directly, POST array is empty

Any ideas?

I have turned on the debug but am not seeing any info though I am not sure where i am supposed to be looking...

Also, I have attempted to build a table for the form but after selection the options I want I get an error:

Query was empty SQL=

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as i have NO experience what so ever in building forms and very limited Joomla experience. Thank you!

Hi, Please turn OFF SEF and let me know if the problems still exists ? we will fix a fix.

Cheers,

Max

Hi Dochere,

Could be a problem with Upper and Lower case, your form is called Form1 the link is to form1. I'd guess your SEF is rewriting to lower case only urls.

Try changing the name of your form to form1 in the General tab.

Bob

All right, I changed the form name to form1, and I turned off the SmartSEF plugin (still have on the built in joomla SEF URL's). It seems to submit just fine now. The only issue is the form data that comes back. It looks like this:

form[name]
form[zip]
form[email]
form[phone]
form[service]
form[residence]
form[bed]
form[bath]
form[occupants]
form[pets]
form[petstwo]
form[other]
form[submit]

Any ideas there?

I have to say thank you for the great help. I was really surprised to see a response so quickly and am very appreciative. I have been using another form component but there is basically no support and not knowing much about Joomla makes it difficult at best for me to go about creating a useful site.

Thank you!

Hi Dochere2,

That is a list of your field names. They are a bit unusual in having [] in them. Try taking those out.

Are you getting any values returned?
What happens when you turn Debug on?

Bob

Hi Bob, debug doesn't return anything. I will pull them out right now and update.

Hi Dochere2,

Please take a form backup from the ChronoForms Form Manager and email it to me at the address in my sig and I'll take a closer look.

Bob

That did it. Form submits perfectly. A little tweaking and I am set. Thank you!

I am soon to be a happy purchaser, the support here is great!

Hi Dochere2,

I'm not sure why they cause a problem. The [] tags usually indicate an Array so I guess that they just confused the code somewhere.

Bob

That was cut and paste code from the automatic code generation put out by RSForm. Code be their for that particular component. It works now and that is what matters to me. I will write the real form in Dreamweaver.

You guys are great, just left you a review at Joomla, Thanks!

Hi,

I upgraded Joomla from 1.0.12 to 1.0.15 - (all used to work well ) since then I get the error: You are not allowed to access this URL directly, POST array is empty

I uninstalled Chronoengine - reinstalled the latest version as of today - restored my forms - still the same error - also it does not write to the table and no email goes out.

I took off Capatcha verification as well - no joy.

i have attached the form as an attachment: - deleted

Thanks Glenn
Edit Update - I was trying to pass it a https://mysite.com instead of https://www.mysite.com - My Jooml 1.0.15 does not work on https://www even though the ssl is for the www version?

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

are you sure that you open the correct form link ?

Max

Hi,
Yes the link is correct - after purchasing a subscription - they needed to be forwarded to a secure form to fill out banking details. I set up a form in Chrono engine. It works great in standard mode - http://www.mysite.com/index.php......=formname. I really wanted it to to be https://www.mysite.com/index.php......=formname , but My Joomla 1.0.15 will not hold https://www.mysite.com it keeps going back to normal http://. The only time it holds https:// is when there is no www in the url = https://mysite.com. So https://mysite.com/index.php......=formname hold the secure https , that is when the errors happen... as above. Chrono does not like the url without www in it.

I have has to mak a stand alone form.

I don't know how to get my site to hold https://www.......

Thanks Regards
Glenn

Hi Glenn, so, the form works fine if you added www. ?

Hi,
Yes, on a standard http://www/mysite.com/index.php......myform but my site is not holding https://www... it reverts to https://mysite.com/index.php.......myform.

The form does not work without the www part.
Thanks Glenn

I don't think so, there should be some mistake somewhere, can I see your site and form link to test ? if you can't put it in the post here then PM me!

Cheers
