Data not saving to database on 3 of 8 forms created

d-solmedia 28 May, 2014
Hi,

I have created 8 forms to which all of them are set to save to the database (used simple mode for creating these forms). None of these forms are complicated, just straight forward text box questions with 1 dropdown. When I tested all the forms on the site, 3 of them didn't save the data to the database. I checked to ensure that the db table & columns were all spelled correctly. I ever created another table and tried that with no avail.

Here is the funny party, if I enter the data in the forms on the site as if I was a normal user visiting the site, then it doesn't work. HOWEVER, if I click the "test form" button in the form development area in the back end, then the data is saved to the db.

Anyone have any ideas? Could other 3rd party modules be affecting data to be stored in the database?

Thx

Hi d-solmedia,

This sounds like a problem with SEF URLs stopping the form submitting. Please try setting Relative URL to 'No' for your forms - more info in this FAQ.

that save the day. Thanks.

Didn't realize it, but those 3 forms that I had issues with all were part of an article (using the p plugin), but the others were direct links to the form.

Thanks again.
