hi there
I use a plug-in to handle form posts to a template. The template has an {exp:plugin_name:function_name} No problem in version 2.6.1, but in 2.7 I get the cryptic statement “The action you have requested is invalid.”
I have no idea what to look for.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Fred2341, can you see if adding this hidden input to your form solves your problem?
<input type="hidden" name="XID" value="{XID_HASH}" />#3 / Sep 04, 2013 3:22pm
Super!
That did the trick.
Is this documented anywhere?
Regards
Fred

Glad to hear! It’s only mentioned here:

Some things with XIDs did change in 2.7, I think we’re now requiring them on all POST requests when secure forms is on.
