vb.org Archive - New Posting Features - Easy Forms v4.x - Create a form or multiple forms without php or html knowledge

Out of nowhere, I've recently had a form that started giving the following error:

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.

More specifics about behavior:
* I'm running 4.2.3 patch 1, php5.4, and the current version of Easy Forms
* If I fill out a form entirely with the word "test" it succeeds; if I use huge blocks of Lorem Ipsum it's fine; if I use "real" content (which is not in any way weird, but is pasted from google docs and potentially carrying formatting tags?) I get the error.
* There is no conflict in {q_*} tags between different forms, unless something has gotten scrambled on the back end and reassigned numbers around.
* This just started happening in the last week when my webhost depricated php5.3 and pushed us to 5.4.

Update: It chokes on copied characters from text editors such as fancy "smart quotes" or a condensed ellipses. It used to handle these gracefully but no longer!

Try attached.

Thank you!

Replacing the php file gives me this when I try to view a form (the form list looks as expected):

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vb_formbits WHERE fid = 30 ORDER BY page ASC, displayorder ASC

But I'm sort of a novice, is there something else I should be doing?

Banalive, I have the same problem: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Is there a fix? If I download your attach, it cause database error.

I see that is a bug with special characters: á é ñ etc... is there a way to fix? And If posible to translate the date field from: Thurdays -> Jueves, ????

Thanks for help.

At some point, a site I now do some work on has had their forms stop working although no-one seems to know when! Site is running vB4.2.2 and have tried the latest forms.php and 4.4.0 update but still get following error when trying to open a form:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in /var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/forum/forms.php on line 1242, referer: http://DOMAIN/forum/forms.php?do=editform&fid=1&pg=7

Server running:

PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.24
MySQL Version 5.5.50-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Runs on another server I have OK - probably been looking at it too long and missing something obvious...

I have used this mod for quite some time on a site and we've had a form intact and it works just fine, but recently I was asked to change the options where the user who submitted the form can change the information submitted in the form they submitted by using the edit button in the thread the form started. I found this option: "Users Can Manage their own Form Results - All registered users can view/edit/delete their own form results saved to database." and I have ticked it to "Yes", but for those who have already submitted the form they still cannot edit the thread/post it made. I've tried to "Rebuild Thread Information" from the update area in the AdminCP but that did not seem to make it where the old thread can be edited by the person who submitted them. Am I just doomed to have Admins be PM'ed for changes here lol?

I managed to resolve this issue by re-importing the XML file.

I noticed however that special characters will still trigger an error if they are used in the title.

As a quick fix, do a search for :

PHP Code:


		
			
$threadtitle = htmlspecialchars($threadtitle);

And comment out the text:

PHP Code:


		
			
//$threadtitle = htmlspecialchars($threadtitle);

This should allow any text to be used for the title and content.

Oh and... ΘωΘ
