Strange error

Ben,

Just updated an install of formtools to 2.1.4 and now when I submit I get the error shown in the attached image ... not exactly helpful. When I logged on after the update it said everything was fine. I then set up a new form and the test submission threw the same error but still seemed to go through and the form fields showed up in the formtools admin. However now I still get the same error when trying to make a submission and nothing goes through. Grrr!!

Ever see this before? Any ideas?

Dave

Hey Dave,

Oh boy, this has been an evening of bugs... Sad

No, I haven't seen that particular error before (and no kidding it's not very helpful...). When you say you get the same error when trying to make the submission, do you mean through your (external) form or through the FT interface?

A couple of things:
- Does this occur on all forms or just the one?
- have you noticed any other problems, or just this?

Try logging out and in (want to eliminate sessions as the cause). Same problem?

If you want me to look at the problem directly, just email me at ben.keen@gmail.com.

Hey Ben, I got around the error by running the installer again with a new prefix. Something must have happened when I upgraded. I get the feeling that there was a problem/conflict with the ft_ prefix because I had a number of fieldnames who's name was ft_ (short for field trip). Never thought about it when I made the fields but thinking that might have been causing the screw up?

Thanks,

Dave

Maybe, but I doubt it... I use ft_ in a few of my own installations without trouble.

But just to check: you mentioned that you originally encountered the problem on an upgraded version of the script? And this second time 'round was a fresh installation?

Yes, that is correct. I used the same database but with the altered prefix to ft2_
