I’m running ee 1.6.7 on a legacy site and having a strange issue where the tell-a-friend (Named tell-a-colleague on left side nav) form appears twice on some entries and once on others.
E.g. http://www.quickstep.ie/courses/detail/ifrs_vs_us_gaap/ Shows once and
http://www.quickstep.ie/courses/detail/ucits_for_hedge_funds/ appears twice.

Both are using the same template which is the standard tell-a-friend code.

{exp:email:tell_a_friend charset="utf-8" allow_html='no'}

<label for="from">Your Email: </label>

<input type="text" id="from" name="from" size="34" maxlength="35" value="{member_email}" /></p>

<label for="name">Your Name: </label>

<input type="text" id="name" name="name" size="34" maxlength="35" value="{member_name}" /></p>

<label for="to">To: (email)</label>

<input type="text" id="to" name="to" size="34" maxlength="35" /></p>

<label for="subject">Subject: </label>

<input type="text" class="text" id="subject" name="subject" size="34" value="{title}" /></p>

<label for="message">Message: </label>

<textarea id="message" name="message" readonly="readonly" rows="6" cols="27">
Here is a link to a course I thought you might find useful. I found it at quickstep.ie: {comment_url_title_auto_path}
</textarea></p>

{if captcha}
Please enter the word you see in the image below:
{captcha}

<input type="text" name="captcha" value="" maxlength="20" /></p>
{/if}

<input name="submit" type='submit' value='Submit Form' /></p>
{/exp:email:tell_a_friend}

Has anyone run into the same issue?

Hi, goodmixer. As a non logged in user, I only see one form on each page. Did you fix something?

No. I’m still at a loss on this one. I’ve logged out and at this url
http://www.quickstep.ie/courses/detail/ucits_for_hedge_funds/
I still see two forms

Hi Micky,

Can you please temporarily remove the jQuery Accordion so that we can remove that as a possible cause of the problem?

Cheers

Greg,

I’ve duplicated the template as site is live. Issue is now at

http://www.quickstep.ie/courses/detail2/ucits_for_hedge_funds/

Maybe I’ve been looking at this too long but I can’t see what’s causing this. What I find really strange is it’s happening on some pages and not others even though they’re using the same template.

Micky

Is that the only article where the form is showing twice? Are you using any server side rewriting? Please not that the forms are not exactly similar:

<input type="text" class="text" id="subject" name="subject" size="34" value="UCITS for Hedge Funds" /></p>

<input type="text" class="text" id="subject" name="subject" size="34" value="UCITS for Hedge Funds 2011" />

Is the “2011” actually part of the url title, or part of a different entry? Where does it come from?

Ingmar,

It seems that this is happening when the client had changed the title of the entry and the url_title remained as the old url_title. It is happening in a few entries but so far each one has a Title that does not match the url title.

Is there a way to automatically change the url title if the client changes the title?

Regards,

Micky

It depends on how the client is doing things. For instance, you can clear out the url_title manually, make a new title and then save the entry. In that case, EE will redo the url_title. Otherwise, it won’t.

Does that help?
