simple form does not work

john.murray 30 May, 2014
driving me crazy - this was working before - no idea what has changed, simple form does not submit, nor does it send an email message. joomla is configured to use php mail with no encryption. was at php 5.2

was at v4 - decided to uninstall and re-install v5 (and goto php 5.3) same issues - here is form after clicking submit (debug is ON):

here is form code:

<div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-2"><label for="name" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Name</label>
<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-name"><input name="Name" id="name" value="" placeholder="" maxlength="" size="" class="validate['required'] form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="" type="text" /></div></div><div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-4"><label for="email" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Email</label>

Hi john.murray,

If the form isn't submitting then it may be a problem with SEF URLs, does it submit if you open it with the View Form link in the Forms Manager?

thank you! that nailed it - is there a work-around for the SEF issue?

Another thought, if you have the cache enabled and the form is inside an article then please try to to set "Relative url" to NO under the HTML action settings.

Also try to switch the order of the "Email cloaking" plugin with the Chronoforms5 plugin because the email in the form gets changed!

Thanks again! Here are the steps I took to solve the issue (chronoforms V5):

Opened the form and under General Tab changed the Setup Mode to Advanced
Saved the form then reopened
Under Setup Tab, click Edit on HTML (Render Form) within the On load action
Scroll Down and change Relative URL to No
Save the form
