Problem with SSL Form Submission with URL parameters

mapme 29 Jul, 2013
Hi,

I am using an SSL form in Chronoforms where the Submit URL must pass a series of parameters thats links up to a Custom Action.
All works well on the http version, but not with the https version.

The website is set up to be permanently in HTTPS mode, and this is carried out using the Joomla Config Base URL setting, the Base HREF setting in the header and also using .htaccess. So that is all working well for all aspects of the site, apart from some form submissions using Chronoforms.

Even though all the above is set up to force SSL on the site, the default Submit URL on one of my forms is http instead of https.
To counter this, I changed the Chronoform Form Setting as "Relative URL" from No to Yes. So this resolved my problem of having a Form submmitting in HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Now for the problem... the Relative URL does not include the parameters that I need to link up with the Custom Code form action (onSubmit).

When Relative URL is No the Submit URL is:
https://www.website.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=Member_Delete&event=submit


When Relative URL is Yes the Submit URL is:
http://www.website.com/member-delete?member_id=5df8d7c53ea0e343cd64d34e807fb602&chronoform=Member_Delete&event=submit


So, I need either the top method to pass the member_id parameter or else I need the bottom solution to be set as HTTPS.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks a lot.

Hi mapme,

I'm pretty certain that ChronoForms just picks up the site http/https setting. Have you checked the site Config file to see if there is a $livesite parameter set? Not sure what else would cause the problem :-(

Cheers Bob,
Yep, have the $live_site set as the https link for the site.
Confusing one alright. Will post back if I get a solution.
Thanks for the response.
