Embedded Survey Form

Thursday 11 February 2010 12:03:35 pm

Hey folks, I recently ran into a problem that I need some input on. A quick note, this setup previously worked just fine, however it recently stopped working. Recently stopped working I mean by transferring the site to a different server that is a duplicate of the first.

We currently use ezsurvey for certain contact forms etc. We will build a form and then embed it into our custom frontpage with the Wysiwyg editor. I modified the highlighted object to look as such:

/extension/ourdesign/design/ourdesign/templates/embed/highlighted_object.tpl

{node_view_gui view=full content_node=$object.main_node}

By making those adjustments and embedding the item with class highligted object, the survey shows up, however it does not want to submit. Whenever the user hits submit it just displays the form again with the filled in information. I'm curious if this could be related to template cache being turned on as well as template compile being turned on.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Final note: The only change that happened was that template compile was turned on as well as template cache.

Thanks,

Will.

Did you find a fix for this issue?

I have the same thing: ezsurvey validation silently failing. This happened after it was moved from a functional local copy to a test server.

The POST data goes through, but the validation template isn't called. The validation runs, because the form will only submit if required fields are completed. Strange not to get validation.

Thankfully, I have version control, so I will roll back to last known working state. And see if code changes affected it in any way. If not, it may be something obvious like a permissions error on the file system. Or an ini setting out of place.
