Thread: Form validation deletes field entries

Hello.

When somebody wants to exchange links with my site, and starts filling form fields about his/her site, if some fields are incorect (i.e. wrong captcha), JV-LE will inform you about the error and just reset the form fields. It's frustrating for ppl. to enter data all over again, especialy because letters and numbers on captcha are usualy very hard to read and it is very likely to make a mistake. Is there some code that I can ad in the script that will fix this?

I've got another question. It is very unusual to ask you about that, but it is unusual situation.

When somebody wants to exchange link with me and enters data corectly, I will get an email notification about that, right? Well, the unusual situation is that I DO get that email! Why is that wrong? Well, because in my Joomla instalation I cannot make Joomla to send emails! Other components and modules also report error when trying to send an email. Why da hell your script is able to do that!?

Maybe it's because my Joomla instalation is not in the root, it's in the subdirectory. But in the config file I did change the sendmail path to absolute path of the server, and it still doesn't work. If you could tell me where in your script do you define how to send emails (I'm not a programer), maybe I'll figure out what do I have to change to make sending emails work.

Thank you.

Actualy, I do not run the latest version, as I wrote I do. And I do not know reasons how did I manage to install v1.3 ten days ago, when you uploaded v1.4 on september 8th.

Anyway, I uninistaled v1.3 and installed v2.0 which was a big mistake.

- I have to translate language file all over again, since it is not compatible with the old one
- Captcha (calculator) validation still deletes field entries when you click go back link
- With this version JV-LE is not sending emails anymore in my Joomla instalation

Ok, it would be great to fix that validation problem. I don't know why emails won't work anymore. Yes, I use PHP mail function, I didn't touch that. I just installed new version of JV-LE. Something you did change in the code that makes the script not sendidng emails, just like any other extensions wont. I don't know why it was working with the v1.3.

I finaly googled the solution to send emails. The problem is between GoDaddy windows hosting and Joomla's mail function. Nobody in the world could solve the problem, even GoDaddy said it's inposible, and that we should take Linux hosting instead.

But this guy found the solution few days ago:
Joomla! • View topic - Joomla! v1.5 GoDaddy SMTP Email Settings

One of the things that should had to be done was to change mailer to SMTP server. I cant belive, but it works, I can send mails now. But! Your script is not sending emails, since you said it's using PHP mail funcition. Do you think I could change that to SMTP server?

I know that. As I wrote, the problem is in GoDaddy Windows shared hosting, not in your script.

You can change to SMTP server in your Joomla config and see if it works for you.

As I also wrote, I did change that, and it does work for global Joomla, but not for JV-LE. So, since I'm not a programer, can you tell me wich of the JV-LE files I should edit and change, so JV-LE can also use SMTP server?

Thank you.
