(solved) Deprecated error message (mails) after validation

Hi Bob,
I use Chronoforms V3.1 RC5.5 on a website for a very important form published every year.
This year, as I want to publish the form and test it, I have a deprecated error message on sumbmit
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /homez.83/mywebsite/www/components/com_chronocontact/libraries/mails.php on line 117

Could You tell me what's wrong ? It's really urgent as the website is running and the form must run only 2 days for registration.

Thanks for your help.

Hi repitol,

I think that may have been fixed in the latest release (CFv3.2 I think).

But the easiest fix is to set the Site Error Reporting to System Default or to None which should hide any PHP Notices or Warnings.

Bob

well,
Error is already set as "none" in joomla configuration
It doesn't change anything. 😟

Hi repitol,

Then it would take an edit of the PHP ini file :-(

Please see this post for a code fix.

Bob

Bad luck, the fix doesn't seem to have effect.
I replaced line 117 from mail.php

if(!ereg("\{IPADDRESS\}", $email_body)){

with

if(!preg_match('/\{IPADDRESS\}/', $email_body)){

but I still have the same error message.

Now it works !!
My Joomla website was still on 1.5.15 version
upgrated to 1.5.26 (last 1.5 version available)
now the form goes well.

Only thing I can't remember is how to configure field validation on wizard edit with V3
(I use V4 on other websites without problems, but this form was made with V3 and I have no time to build it again with V4...) 😶

Hi Repitol,

how to configure field validation on wizard edit with V3

I think it's the validation tab over on the right.

Bob

Unfortunately, I have no validation tab.
Only Toolbox and properties as shown on file attached
No way to change date of birth validation which gives problem (stays as required when I don't want it to be required)
I'm very confused..... 😶

Hi Repitol,

Please click the form name link in the Forms Manager to see the tab.

Bob

Ok, when I do it, it shows the normal edit (not wizard)
and on the validation tab, there's nothing in the list proposed
Should I write something at line "9- validate-date-au (a date formatted as; dd/mm/yyyy)" ?
because for the moment, the form doesn't accept any date written as dd/mm/yyyy
or yyyy/mm/dd
and only works when the field is left empty
the very moment a user writes a date of birth, he gets the validation error message 😑

if user writes 12/02/1977
validation error : Please enter a valid date in this format yyyy/mm/dd
so user writes 1977/02/12
validation error : Please use this date format: dd/mm/yyyy. For example 17/03/2006 for the 17th of March, 2006.

I'm going maaaad !

Hi,
can you help with this validation issue ?
thanks

Hi Repitol,

I think that you add the input name in the validation box - but that won't remove whatever validation is there already.

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

Bob

Bob,
I've found a fix (the problem only apprears with Firefox (my version : 24.0 for mac) )
As seen on another post with a close fix.
Here is the detail for other users having the same issue

Edit files
\www\components\com_chronocontact\libraries\includes\JSvalidation.php
\www\components\com_chronocontact\js\jsvalidation2.js
\www\components\com_chronocontact\js\mooValidation.js

replace every

validate-date-au

in these files
with

valid-date-au

(security : rename in ftp the original files with "-old" extensions, and replace the files with the modified ones)

Then, in Joomla, edit your form (not in wizard mode) by clicking on the name of your form
go to "Form Code"/edit html and modify

<input class="cf_inputbox validate-date-au"

as

<input class="cf_inputbox valid-date-au"

then save your form and test it.
:mrgreen:

Hi Repitol,

Well found, I'd forgotten about that FireFox bug :-(
