Forms return a 404 - Article not found but not when testing

Hi

I have a form that returns a "404 - Article not found"(Thanks message is not shown) - strange thing is that when testing the form(Test Form) from backend it works with no problems.

I tried as menu, module and plugin - all returns the error

Can someone guide me where too look ?

Thank you

Hi Birger,

The link you try from the 'backend' is showing the form in the front-end so the problem is most likely with SEF URLs. Are you using SH404SEF or some similar extension on your site?

Hi GreyHead

Thanks for the fast answer

I have tried to reconstruct my form from one of the existing demo form - it now works as a menu item but still not as plugin or module inserted into an article.
This also applies to the demo forms like "demo-basic-contact-captcha" - same problem as plugin or module inserted into an article.
I don't use SH404SEF or similar.
Can it have something to do with "System - Redirect" plugin?

Thank you.

HI Birger,

What URL do you see with the 404 message? There may be a clue there?

it might possibly be the System ReDirect Plug-in if that is overwriting the link URLs, you can test by disabling it temporarily.

Bob

Disabling the "System - redirect" did not change the error.
I get this URL with the 404 page: index.php/file-server?chronoform=NAS_request_NEW&event=submit

Thank you

Hi Birger,

So the problem is with the URL Instead of index.php/file-server?chronoform=NAS_request_NEW&event=submit it needs to be index.php?&option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=NAS_request_NEW&event=submit (or an SEF URL that resolves to that).

Do you know where the 'file-server' bit is coming from?

Bob

I have a menu called 'file-server' setup as "Articles » Single Article". From that article the "NAS_request_NEW" is called.
To test is again with a blank page(only the form is called) I created a new menu as "Articles » Single Article" and the error is still there.
index.php/chronoform-test?chronoform=NAS_request_NEW&event=submit


When the menu setup is ChronoForms5 » ChronoForms5 form it returns the same URL but with no errors

index.php/chronoform-test?chronoform=NAS_request_NEW&event=submit

The URL is the same and to make sure this is correct I made the test more times.

I made a few pic of the error

Hi Birger,

I can't work out exactly what you are doing here. Please see this FAQ and see the last section, that may help.
