Hi,
I upgraded form 0.13 to 1.0.2 and now the contact us form wont work.
The form shows up but when I hit submit I get a 404.
Must be missing a file
Any suggestions?
Thanks

That's odd, I tried the contact_form tag and it works fine here.
Where does it redirect you to (that you get a 404)?

Ye I don't understand either because the form shows up.
The end of the url looks like /index.php/contact_us?

I get the 404 page: 404 Looks like this page has been lost.
Is it supposed to go to another page?

I noticed the same on a 1.0.2 installation. Everything worked fine with 0.13, but broke with the 1.0.2 installation. I get the same 404 error pressing the submit button.
The problem seems to be related to the pretty urls. With $config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false; everything is working fine in 1.0.2, no 404 error message. So if you don't need the pretty urls, deactivate them.
If you need the pretty urls, another workaround could be using the the "function.contact_form.php" from 0.13 which seems to be working fine with 1.0.2 and pretty urls.

The contact_form plugin is fixed in SVN:
http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... 9&view=rev
The latest version can be downloaded
here.

Thanks a lot for this, folks!
However, after installing the latest version I'm still getting the
Sorry, the message was not sent. The server may be down! message from line 95.
I first noticed, that when getting a
404, the reason was because the FORM ACTION was missing the initial
index.php/ as I am using pretty URLS. The URL to my ContactForm is
/index.php/Kontakt/kontakt_katalogbestellung.html and the Form Action is built with the
$action
So I exchanged action tag within the
function.contact_form.php and instead of having
in line 110 I now have
<form action="index.php/Kontakt/kontakt_katalogbestellung.html". But still, I get an error message saying:
Sorry, the message was not sent. The server may be down!
Anybody have a clue?
Here's the corresponding part of the config:
#------------
#URL Settings
#------------
#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu?
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;
#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';
#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in
#pretty url mechanism? This will not work with IIS and the {metadata} tag
#should be in all of your templates before enabling.
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy? (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;
#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable? (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';
Any help is greatly apprechiated!
cheers,
Zebulon

Have you tested the CMSMailer to insure it can send emails?...

i'm using internal pretty url's as well since of today
the svn fix for the contactform did not work for me...
changed the following line in function.contact_form.php
fix works with internal pretty urls... haven't checked if its broken with normal url's
before:
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] != '') {
$action .= '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
after:
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$action = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] != '') {
$action .= '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
how to get this in the devtree??

It is broken actually... it takes the REQUEST_URI (for example index.php?page=contact) and adds the QUERY_STRING, resulting in an invalid URL: index.php?page=contact?page=contact
Try this instead:
Code: Select all
if (isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
{
$action = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
else
{
$action = isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] : '';
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] != '') {
$action .= '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
}

Normally: submit your patch in the core (or some module)
tracker.
Post a message here if these changes work for you - then I'll add them to SVN.
