I am new to Joomla and Chronoforms. I've uploaded the HTML code, set up the parameters in forms managements and everything appears to be normal on the webpage, but when I hit submit, I get the following error:
"You are not allowed to access this URL directly, POST array is empty."
Can somebody tell me how to correct this problem?
Thanks

Hi contentman,
That a bit of spam prevention to block robots that hit the form submit url. In your case it's likely that there's a problem with your form code and nothing is being submitted. Is the form on-line?

The form is not online yet, but here is the HTML code I'm using. I'm new to the development side of things, so bear with me...

Hi contentman,
Two things:
a) you should remove the html and body tags as the code is embedded inside the Joomla page which deals with these.
b) your input tags are missing some vital attributes:

Thanks for your help. The only issue I keep running into is that it's not recording all the submitted information. It's only keeping track of the name and email address fields.
Hi contentman,
Check the field names - they must be in quotes, and have no spaces.
Bob

Still no luck...I've checked the field names and everything seems to be set up correctly. I can see all the data view fields. I'm also not getting the results via email as well and everything appears to be set-up correctly.

Hi contentman, paste here the code in the Autogenerated tab!
Hi contentman,
Please take a Form Backup in the Forms Manager and post it here or email it to the address in my sig and I'll take a look (may take a little while as I'm very busy right now).

That appears to work perfectly.
Now please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here or email it to the address in my sig and I'll take a look (may take a little while as I'm very busy right now).

Hi tobyt,
I have never tried this SEF component, but, if it has some where to edit the generated SEF URLS like other components then you can go there and assure that the non SEF link doesn't contain "&task=send".
Let me know if this issue is solved🙂
