The module xForms 1.21 has been updated to the XOOPS 2.5.x GUI and is ready for testing.

xForms is a module for XOOPS offers widely customizable contact forms. xForms generates different kind of form elements e.g. text areas, check boxes for webmasters to create their "Contact Us" forms by desire. Submitted information can be sent by email or through the private message system of XOOPS, and received by selected user group. It is based on Liaise, and was developed by Dylian.

Please download it from SourceForge SVN

For the time being, go to:

xoops/class/xoopsform/formelementtray.php

and in line 86 remove the ampersand "&" from "&$formElement"

$this->_elements[] = &$formElement;

so it looks like this:

$this->_elements[] = $formElement;

It seems like it has something to do with passing the radio element by references.

This is just a quick hack and I hope Core team will come up with something more permanent. But for the time being it works on my test site.

Let me know if it worked on yours.

Works well, but I have found a problem.

In Firefox (11) if a user gets the CAPTCHA wrong, even if they enter the letters correctly on the second attempt, it still says 'invalid' code. They must press the 'refresh captcha' button to proceed.

In IE9, the page automatically refreshes on pressing 'back'... but this erases all the form data!.

If anyone familiar with this module can spot a quick fix for this, it would be much appreciated.

That seems to be a known bug: see note from Tristian Bailey here:

My only suggestion that I submitted, about changing the Backspace history shortcut to be more user-friendly (instead of people accidentally wiping out text in text fields by going back in history), still remains open, amoung hundreds of other suggestions and bug fix comments.

Thx Mamba.

I read the link about IE9. Looks like any script which relies on the ability to go 'back' without form data being cleared is going to suffer. I tried a few things but nothing worked up to date.

The CAPTCHA really needs to be validated on the same page (like the JS field validation) and I guess that's probably the only solution. The fact that the CAPTCHA doesn't validate on second attempt is a mystery though.

There is a small error in $xforms_url VAR which creates a double slash in the back link, e.g.

http://example.com/modules/xforms//index.php?form_id=2

To fix this:

include\form_execute.php

around line 274

change:

$xoopsTpl->assign('xforms_url', xforms_URL.'/index.php?form_id='.$form_id);


to:

$xoopsTpl->assign('xforms_url', xforms_URL.'index.php?form_id='.$form_id);

I am not that good with validations, so if somebody else could take a look into that, it would be fantastic.

Thanks! It's now fixed in SVN

OK, I'll try and take a closer look at this next week.

The current method detects CAPTCHA fail and loads an error template with a JS back-link. This relies on the browser maintaining the state of the previous page, which is obviously going to be a problem in IE from v9 onwards.

I can go 'back' to a static form in IE9 by using a session variable to store the field VARs, but the Xforms module creates fields dynamically and I have no idea where to start.

I am guessing the other option is to merge 'form_render' and 'form_execute' like a conventional PHP_SELF style form.

Not sure how many other modules use the Xoops CAPTCHA in this way?
