Custom Module Conflicts with Polls module

Mak3 · 29.04.2005, 13:25

Hey all,
i have created a custom module, which is nothing more than a normal module which i stripped out and appended html code at the end, and i have inside it 2 drop down lists in the form:

Quote:

<select name="radiostation" size="1" onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_self')">
<option selected>Choose Radio Station</option>
<option value="hXXp://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=113">Radio FM</option>
</select>

Now, the problem is when a user wants to submit a vote at the Poll module..When he clicks the "VOTE" button he is redirected to

Quote:

hxxp://mysite.com/index.php?radiostation=Choose+Radio+Station&voteid =2&task_button=Vote&id=1&task=vote

When my custom module is unpublished the user can vote normally:

Quote:

hxxp://mysite.com/index.php?voteid=2&task_button=Vote&id=1&task=vote

I know i have a problem with my html code in the custom module..

Even the slightest hint would be appreciable

Mak3

Could you indicate the url of your site in order to have a more precise idea of this behaviour?

The same problem as when voting happens when i try to logout..

It seems that the conflict comes whenever the user submits data from within a module..

can anyone give me a hint?

Hi mak3,
sorry for my delay in answering.
My opinion is that something in the FORM tag of your module is missing or wrong.
Usually, to avoid to do a generic submit, is better to use a little javascript function which calls the submit method of your form which must be clearly identified with the name attribute.

If you copy or attach here all the whole code of your module, we can easily find the solution.

Bye,
Giorgio

No problem for the delay...It's just that i am kind of lost and the only solution i can see is to unpublish the module..

Thanks for your time..

I noticed your poll module hasn't a "form" tag so when you press the "vote" button the nearest form is submitted

Mak3 · 07.05.2005, 21:19

This is not my poll module..it's the code for the custom module..

Code:

<form name="radio_stations"> 
</ form>

aren't these the FORM Tags?

I think that the poll component has the problem, not your module.

gin · 08.05.2005, 11:17

It was a trivial but annoying error in closing the FORM tag of your module.

It happened that that lines </ form> weren't recognized as </form> and so, the last correct tag </form> was meant as the closure of your first <form> tag, i.e. the radio_stations one.

Simply replace your code wuth the following and it should work.

Let me know if it is OK.

Giorgio
