We’ve launched biggigaustin.org, which is designed to collect ideas and addresses from people without them logging in or creating a members account. The site uses the logmein plugin, which appears to be working fine.

But there’s a problem on the “thanks” page that comes up after someone has entered an entry using either the ideas or address SAEF. The “thanks” page is supposed to show what the user just entered, but instead it’s showing what the PREVIOUS user entered, and what was recorded in the entries database before the most recent entry.

Here’s the code example on the “thanks” page for an idea entry:

<h1>Thanks for your idea!</h1>
     {exp:weblog:entries weblog="ideas" limit="1"}
<h3>{title}</h3>
<p>{idea}<br />
Posted: {entry_date format="%F %j, %Y: %g:%i %A"}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

I tried inserting the parameter entry_id={entry_id}. That makes the entire text block disappear from the “thanks” page.

I can’t tell if this has something to do with logmein, which is an auto login plugin that allows people to post through an SAEF without logging in, or whether I’m doing something wrong with the code above.

I asked the developer of logmein, but I thought I’d ask here too.

Gary, are the entries coming in with the status set to open?

If you run the template standalone, does it work then?

Yes, all the entries are set to open.

The data collection is working fine. The entries are being entered into the database. It’s just the followup display on the “thanks” page that is not working correctly.

Thanks for the help.

Let’s take the logmein plugin out of the equation. What happens if you use the standard SAEF http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/weblog/entry_form.html from the EEDocs?

I’d have to do this with a test template, of course, which I can do. I’ll try it and see.

Sounds good. Please keep us in the loop 😊
