submit button not working

sabu 30 Nov, 2014
Hi, I set up a basic form in Joomla, and it works fine from the backend, but from the frontend the submit button does not work, nothing happens. When I debugged it I got the following error:
Array
(
)


Here is the form code if it is useful:
<div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-2"><label for="text1" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Your name:</label>
<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-text1"><input name="text1" id="text1" value="" placeholder="" maxlength="" size="" class="form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" type="text" /></div></div><div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-4"><label for="text5" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Your email address:</label>
<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-text5"><input name="text5" id="text5" value="" placeholder="" maxlength="" size="" class="form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" type="text" /></div></div><div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-5"><label for="textarea3" class="control-label gcore-label-left">Please tell us why you'd like to join the Campus Cat Collective</label>
<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-textarea3"><textarea name="textarea3" id="textarea3" placeholder="" rows="3" cols="40" class="form-control A" title="" style=""></textarea></div></div><div class="form-group gcore-form-row" id="form-row-6"><div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-button4"><input name="button4" id="button4" type="submit" value="Submit" class="form-control A" style="" /></div></div>

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi sabu,

The empty Errors array just says there are no errors. Presumably you only see this from the direct form link (which is in the front-end).

How is your form displayed in the front-end? Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi Bob, here is a link to the form:

http://www.campuscatcollective.org/index.php/my-stupid-menu-item/29-join-the-campus-cat-collective

The form is embedded in a Joomla article.

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

I'm using the url associated with the direct form, and it is working fine.

Hi Sabu,

There are no <form> tags on the page so I'm guessing that you have copied and pasted the form HTML into the article. As you see, that doesn't work.

What are you trying to do here? Where do you want to show the form?

Hi Bob,

When visitors click on the "Join Us" icon on the home page, I'd like them to be directed to the form. The form can be displayed by itself, it doesn't need to be embedded in an article, so I've got the Join Us icon linking to the url of the direct form. This seems to be working fine.

Hi Sabu,

If you wan to display the form only then simply copy the form link from the "view form" link in the forms manager and use it, OR create a new menu item of type Chronoforms and use that link, but do NOT use the form code only since this is not going to work alone!

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

I have the same problem.

on front end, i can input the fields en submit, but nothing happens on submit, i've link to the form though a menu button.
(front end link : http://www.vrienden-wmc.nl/index.php/nl/de-vereniging/lidmaatschap/aanmelden)

on back end, when i'm in the chronoform editing options and when i test the form, is works perfect.

Hi Snoopy1975,

The website requires login, so I couldn't test this.

Do you have AJAX enabled in your form ?

After hours of searching i've found my problem, it was a very small one. In the menu items -> opties -> form name, i typed "lidworden" instate of "Lidworden" :?

Hi Snoopy1975,

Finding those little typos can be hard work :-(

I usually only use lower case form and input names to remove this possible problem.
