validation not working; test form not working from inside wizard

We are ugrapding from a J1.5 site to J2.5.22.

Working forms that I exported/imported from the old site to the new AND new forms created on the new site have these issues:
[list]
Server side validation does not work. Although many fields are required, I can submit a blank form. However, captcha validation DOES work, the forms will not submit with an invalid captcha.

Using "test form" from inside the wizard gives an error about a missing file in the Jstrap template directory tree. Nothing else on the site gives the same error.
[/list]

Also, "frontend view" from the Chronoforms console gives a blank page. It uses URLs of the format "mysite.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=MyForm" which I am told by the sysadmin is not allowed because of a recent security upgrade to J 2.5.22. So I understand why that is happening, but am wondering if there is a change to Chronoforms in response.

This morning I upgraded CF from 4RC3.0 to 4.0.1. The behavior is the same.

I don't know what I should be looking at. Guidance, please?

I'm sorry, I misspoke (mistyped?) - server side validation works just dandy. Client side does not.

OK, the validation issues were caused by a template conflict. I switched the forms back to a previous template and voila! validation works again.

I still get an error when testing the form from inside the wizard, and a blank page when trying "frontend view" from the CF console, but if the forms work on the site, I can move on and worry about that later.

Thank you (again) for Chronoforms.

Hi dnigra,

The form URL in your first post looks perfectly OK to me. I don't know of any security upgrade that would make it not Ok in Joomla! 2.5 or 3
