Form submit not working when in article

PJMFD 30 Apr, 2013
Hi

I am using J2.5.11 and chronoforms v4 stable

My form works fine when using the Frontend View to test in chronoforms. It sends the info to the nominated email address.

But when I place the form on the page, nothing appears to happen when you press submit. The form clears and the email is not sent.

Hello,

I am having the exact same problem. Works find with a direct menu link to the form.

But nothing happens using the plugin in an article. I have done this many times before with no problem.

Joomla! 2.5.2
Chronoforms 4.0 RC3.5.2
Plugin V4 RC3.0

Thanks, Chuck

Hi Grizzled,

This may be a problem with the SEF URLs effectively breaking the Action URL of the form; try setting relative URl to No on the form General tab.

Also the form is inside <p> tags which make the HTML techically illegal and will break it on some versions of IE.

Please see this FAQ

Hi Bob

I am still having issues on my form (original post)
I have tried the form with SEF urls turned off with same result.
Also checked html to see if any extranious code had crept in, but none that I can see.

I have turned on debug.

The form runs perfectly when using the frontend view option to test the form.
Debug says everything is ok.

Only have the issue when trying to run the form from within the contact article page.

Hi Peter,

Please try setting Relative URLs to No on the form General tab (click the form name link in the Forms Manager to see it).

Or, copy the few extra bits of HTML from the top of the page into a Custom Element element in your form and use the form Front-View directly instead of the plugin.

Thanks Bob.

I have had to call the form from a menu button and put the html in a custom element as you suggested.
The first suggestion had no effect.

Not sure why the plugin doesn't work for this one. Have used it many times before on other sites without issue.

Hi Peter,

You can get this effect in some browsers if the form ends up inside <p> tags.
