Please replace the ??? with your data!

• Your URL: http://???
• The browser used: FF & IE6
  
• cforms version: 7.53
• Your Wordpress version: 2.3.3

I create a form and included a checkbox for confirming that the submitter has accepted terms and conditions.

When the checkbox is checked and the form submitted, I get an error message saying the checkbox must be checked.

I tested the online booking form preset, which has the same terms and conditions fields and I get the same error.

Please help – this is the only thing stopping the site from going live.

Thanks!

Hi Oliver

I'm having the same trouble as Damien.

URL 'test' pages;

http://www.fincadelrio.co.uk/features

http://www.fincadelrio.co.uk/reservations

Wordpress: 2.3.3

cforms II: 7.5.3

php: 4.3.2

Browsers; firefox, safari, explorer

plugins in use;

    Add Meta Tags 1.6

    Akismet 2.1.4

    cformsII 7.53

    Current-Page Bugfix 1.2.1

    Exclude Pages from Navigation 1.2

    Find Us 1.7

    NextGEN Gallery 0.83

    NextGEN Gallery Widget 1.20

    Wordpress Google Calendar 0.8

    wp-forecast 1.4

    WP Super Edit 1.5

If I add any of the default form presets or make my own forms and try to use/add a checkbox that's 'required'; the form can't be submitted when the user 'checks' the box. For some reason the error checking doesn't recognise the 'required checkbox'.

I've tried unistalling some of the plugins, adding a completely new form to a new/different page and re-nstalling cforms II to no avail. I've also tried changing stylesheets etc.

I can only think this is a php error checking issue? Not sure.

Hope you can help.

Hi Oliver

I didn't as far as I'm aware modify the cforms source code? I modified the wideform.css stylesheet, that's all.

I've modified the template files for the Bluebird template I'm using and the Wordpress files for calling in sidebars, nothing more?

Stu.

Solved.

Looks like the file 'cforms.php' was modified locally, still don't know how? I unzipped a new copy of cforms II and replaced it on the server. Works OK now.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Oliver,

Sorry for replying to someone else's topic but I have looked and looked and cannot see where to register on your forum or how to start a new topic so this is a last resort!

I've just started using cform and it's great. Only thing is I got a message from a client who said the form 'wasn't working'.

A bit of investigation and I found that she meant that in IE 7 the dark-rounded.css was not loading the black bg color and therefore only the rounded img for top and bottom were showing. As the text is white, this means that there is no text visible to the user.

In firefox there is no issue (which is why I hadn't noticed)

So i tested in Windows with IE 7 (version 7.0.5730.11) and sure enough the client was right.

It seems to be an IE issue as the css works fine in Firefox.

None of the graphical css styles that come with cForm seem to function in IE 7 although all work fine in Firefox!

Also strange is that in IE 7 if i log in to admin and choose the style setting under cForm it will display the dark-rounded.css form correctly, but not once loaded in a page.

I am using cutline theme and Wordpress 2.3.2

Any ideas?

As far as am aware am using latest version of cForm 7.53

All help appreciated,

Thanks Gary

Thanks Oliver that works!

And I can now see the Add a New Topic – I think I was zombied out last night from staring at code for hours.

Really appreciate this plug in and your fast support and am off the the 'Donate' button.

Thanks

Hello,

i'm sorry to revive this old thread, but i'm having the same problem as damien and stu.

i created some checkboxes, set them to required, but the input is not accepted when i try to send it.

i'm using wp 2.8 and cforms 10.5.2.

it's not working, no matter if i enable ajax or disable it.

But: If i tick the checkboxes and leave all other fields blank, i only get errors for the blank fields (not for the checkboxes).

If i fill out everything correctly and tick the checkboxes, i get errors for them and the ticks disappear after submitting the form.

very strange indeed.

i didn't change any of the cforms core files, i also checked the filesize of the uploaded plugin files, they match the downloaded package.

so, now, i don't have the slightest clue.

thanks in advance for any helpful reply.

best regards, MET

URL?

try with no other plugins turned on and the default theme. still happening?

Hello Oliver,

yes, no other plugins, default theme, still happening.

BUT, i solved it, and i think it's either a bug or i'm definately too stupid.

As soon as i filled the form fields "label" and "input title", it worked.

I didn't know that you HAVE to fill those two fields, as the other fieldset contents are working without it.

Oh dear, i tell you, this took a half day to figure out with a deadline getting closer and closer…. so happy it worked out :-)

Best regards,

MET
