Problem with Phil-a-Form

LotharJackson · 07.04.2005, 17:16

I have already posted this problem in the PAF forums but have gotten no reply. My original message is as follows:

Quote:

I have installed Phil-a-form along with the mambots. Although I did have to manually ftp the philaform.xml file up into the mambots directory in order to fix an error message in the admin > Mambots page. I have created a form, adding elements and actions. The problem I am having is that when I click the preview form link it just takes me to my home page. The link at the top seems to be correct (http://cbmi.com/index.php?option=com..._id=1&Itemid=1) but what is displayed is my home page. I get the same results if I try to manually go to the form instead of clicking the preview button. If I try to use the mambot and add the form to a content item with {philaform 1}, I get the correct web address but am viewing the front page again. For example, click the "Misson" link on cbmi.com

I'm really not sure what's wrong and would greatly appreciate anybody's help.

I need to get this resolved ASAP. I have installed the latest MSAS, followed by Zend Optimizer on my local machine. PAF works perfectly fine there so I am inclined to believe that it may be a setting that is misconfigured on my live site. I have not been able to discern any difference between the two setups. The components folder for each has permissions of '755'.

I'm not sure why I have not been getting your emails. I got the one from your sales address on Tuesday. I will look into it. I have submitted my info on your form and look forward to a resolution.

Thanks for your help Phil.

To all readers,

I would also like to make it quite clear that I am not, as I have seen other do, attempting to slander or trash Phil's name or reputation in public forum. As you can see from the above posts we were having somewhat of a communication problem. That seems to be resolved now and we are moving forward with a resolution.

Hi
I had the same problem as you with the front page coming up.

Was this when you bound to a table and then preview? or was it when you bound to a table?

I managed to get it to work by incrementing the number of the new table name in the bind to table page, and this then bound properly and then allowed me to preview.

hope this helps
