Form submission not working

devatrox 24 Mar, 2014
Hello🙂

So recently forms on many of our Joomla sites stopped working for some reason. I'm not sure since when exactly but it looks like it started with Joomla 3.2.2.

The backend works fine but in the frontend, when you click submit, it just reloads with ?chronoform=kontakt&event=submit in the url but neither does it send the email nor displays the Thanks message. Turning Debug mode on doesn't help because even that is not showing up. I don't get any errors anywhere. Somehow it worked once during tests and then stopped again.
So far the problem happens on Joomla 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. I have tried one site with Joomla 3.2.1 on it and that works perfectly.

I'm also wondering why I can't find anything on Google about this issue because, as I said, it happens on many of our sites on different servers and all of them have different configurations (server and Chronoforms).

If you need any more information I will try to provide it.

I did some more testing. When I use the frontend preview of a form everything works! So there seems to be a problem with the plugin. Usually I insert forms via {chronoform}kontakt{/chronoforms} and that was never a problem.

I use the CF Plugin 4.0.3.

Also inserting the form directly as a menu item works.

Hi devatrox,

Please try setting the Relative URL to No in the form General tab.
