My Menu Item contains the form name. But, I still am receiving a "Form Name Cannot Be Empty" errot message when I click Submit.

Hi Doug,

Does this happen when you view the form from the Frontend View link in the Forms Manager?

Bob

Yes

Hi Doug,

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

Bob

I cannot find this form definition anymore, so please close this post.

Doug

Finally found it.

http://dispatch-ur-autos.net

Option is "Customers" in left menu.

Hi Doug,

The link on that menu item seems to change from page to page so hard to know what is happening. It looks like there is some odd interaction with the menu and the SEF URLs. Using menu item of type URL may solve it.

Bob

I removed the component Acy SEF and the problem went away. Thanks.

I have the same problem... after submitting my form I get "Form name can not be empty!".
I tried to follow your suggest but I didn't solve... VCan you help me? 😶

the form is here: http://tinyurl.com/bmnbqka you can access from TEST-FORM in top menu.
Thanks a lot!

Hi aki76,

The Action URL on your form is a bit odd

http://www.xmotogenova.it/n3w2013/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&task=send&chronoformname=form_name&tmpl=component

Please try setting Relative URL to NO on the form General Tab - click the form name link in the Forms Manager to see it.

Bob

"odd" stays for...? 😲
I tried, nothing happens... :-(

Hi aki76,

odd => unusual

The URL has 'form_name' in it instead of the correct form name 'PrenotaTagliando'. There are also several other errors in it :-(

.Is this set in the form settings Submit URL?

The URL should be

http://www.xmotogenova.it/n3w2013/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoformname=PrenotaTagliando&event=submit

Bob

odd => unusual

thanks :wink:

Is this set in the form settings Submit URL?

Bob, you're simply great! It was setted there, 'cause I tried to insert the form into a lightbox but I didn't succeed, and for this I modified the submit URL. But then I put it in a content... forgotting to delete Submit URL field.
Thank you very much!
Aki76

ok, I finally moved it in a lightbox (where the form is out of lightbox it works). But even if I can see the form, when I'm submitting I return to the form, not at the thanks message. I read and follow this http://greyhead.net/chronoforms/show-a-form-in-a-light-box but I don't understand what I'm wrong now... 😟

Hi Aki76,

The form action looks as though it doesn't have an event=submit parameter so it is submitting to the default event=load.

index.php?option=com_chronoforms&task=send&chronoform=PrenotaTagliando&tmpl=component

Bob

Thank you Bob!!!!!
