content/action , object is not available when manually type from address bar.

Sunday 28 November 2010 10:17:47 pm

Hi,

I have found a thread regarding this here.

http://share.ez.no/forums/setup-design/content-action-is-not-currently-available#comment26501

But in my case(about poll class), information is collected from the form.No issues with information collection.

Situation is say , when hit enter button in address bar when the address is

http://www.myserver/ez/index.php/my_siteaccess/content/action

getting error mesage as

Object is unavailable

The object you requested is not currently available.

Possible reasons for this are:

• The id or name of the object was misspelled, try changing it.
• The object is no longer available on the site.

I have double checked the code.Seems to be Ok

Following is the code.

<div class="content-action">
<input type="submit" class="defaultbutton" name="ActionCollectInformation" value="{"Send form"|i18n("design/ezwebin/full/feedback_form")}" />
<input type="hidden" name="ContentNodeID" value="{$contactus.node_id}" />
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectID" value="{$contactus.object.id}" />
<input type="hidden" name="ViewMode" value="full" />
</div>

Anyone knows something wrong with this .

Hi Nicolas,

this is not a custom template. It is the deafult poll template in the ezwebin.

DebugOutput shows nothing. In 2008 a developer had this same issue.

But for me , It is bit different . Information is collectied but getting error when manually typefollowing address in address bar or when I hit enter .

http://www.myserver/ez/index.php/my_siteaccess/content/action

But the above link is working fine If I refresh the page( I have disabled View cache ).

Only issue comes when I hit enter in address bar or manually type the address .

I can't get nothing wrong from error log or debug.

Any help will be really appreciable

Thanks a lot Andre

I got you. Is it possible to change the method to GET from POST in the submitting form so that , content/action work. But If I do this the values passed by get will be seen through the URL.

Do I need to dive into php If I do change the post to get. Since some values from template are taken by

$http->hasPostVariable(it takes values by method post. If I use Get anything should I chnage with PHP).

Can you give me an idea to to get rid of this . Or don't I worry about it?

Gaetano, thank you for the important notes.

So from your and Andre's post I can conclude following as

In ezp, every content/action takes actions by POST requests.

In such cases , templates that recieve values from params array will be from post method.

Also it is not at all safe to use the Get method , as it may vulnerable to attacks.

But frankly I didn't get a way to make it work. sometimes user may hit the address bar, so they get the error message as object is not availabe.

Any work around like , store the values from post in the templates so that , values will be retrieved from that variables and not from post variables the case where the post values not availabe.

"in collectinformation.php, it only does this if users does not have acces or something does not validate, for the access part you could just add some logic where you ouput the button and not show it if user does not have access instead of letting them try and fail in the first place, but it's maybe the validation that is causing this "issue" for you"

Idea I got it. I will try ..Thanks a lot Andre,
