Has anyone else had a problem with the Contact module inputting info from a different user all the time?

I have tested this on my site, and the same user always populates the name and email boxes, etc. I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks
eric

Re: Incorrect info in the "Contact" form

Hi again Bimmer,

Is that your information that you see in the contact form, or someone elses. When I enter the contact page my information is filled in because it reads my cookie.

Now if it is another persons information that you see I agree there is a problem, but I do not know what it could be.

BTW if you log off the site and enter the contact page, you should see blank forms.

Hi JD! (After I saw your first response, and noticing what forum it was posted to, I thought the question would be better posted to the appropriate forum.)

The information contained in the contact fields is someone that last logged in (on the old site, from phpnuke) "2004-11-12 15:51:01".

This is the reaction I see.


So, now I have more interesting information. I logged in as Admin and then looked at some settings, looked at the contact form (it was correct), then I logged out. I logged back in as my own userid, and went to the contact form, it pre-filled with the Admin information.

So, going back to the cookie theory, does that mean that the cookie is not being deleted after a logout/timeout? (My timeout is set for one hour.)

If so, this is even more confusing. How can two users (not including myself, from testing the other day) see that the form was pre-filled with a different user's information?

Also, someone asked about getting information for the website in question. Since it is a gay Adult site, I will private you the information if you would like the site info.

Thanks
eric

I agree that is confusing. I am sorry I couldn't help more.

But I will be watching this thread as I would like to know why also.

maybe you have cache turned on for the contact module itself in XOOPS admin.. turning cache off for the contact block should solve it..

I've changed it to "No cache". I'll have some of the users test this.

Thanks

I have asked several users, and they get the "Contact" form with their correct respective information.

Where can I find out what the cache means in this reference?

Thanks for the help monty and JD!
