Duplication of entries

[o.deruyter]

Hi Guys,

I have an issue, I have the module submission accounts, and I am using an external form to submit the data. When an entry is made I get duplications, 4-6 per entry. Can anyone think why this is or suggest a fix?

Many Thanks

Hi o.deruyter,

Whoah, 4-6? That's very unusual. A few questions:

- Are all entries duplicated, or just some?
- Is there anything unusual about your form that would prompt the users to click the submit button multiple times? Does it take a really long time, perhaps?
- Is it an Ajax form? If so, maybe verify that there's no glitch that's accidentally posting the form data multiple times.

It's possible that if your form is taking a very long time to submit, the users get impatient and click the submit button multiple times. This could result in multiple submissions in the database. But 4-6 does seem extremely high.
