I have a comment form (on a blog view page) that redirects to another contact page when the CAPTCHA field is empty or incorrect. Why is it redirecting to the other page? How can I redirect it back to the same page with an error message?

The only comment:form parameter I’m using is channel.

Thank you for your help.

Any ideas here? Thank you for your help.

I’ve had problems with the CAPTCHA before but I haven’t seen that happen. Can you post your template code?

It’s basically the demo form from the EE site:

{exp:comment:form channel="blog"}
      {if logged_out}
       <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" value="{name}" size="50" /><br > 
       <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" size="50" /><br > 
       <label for="location">Location:</label> <input type="text" name="location" value="{location}" size="50" /><br > 
       <label for="url">URL:</label> <input type="text" name="url" value="{url}" size="50" /></p> 
      {/if}
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>

      <textarea name="comment" cols="70" rows="10">{comment}</textarea></p>
      <label><input type="checkbox" name="save_info" value="yes" {save_info} /> Remember my personal information</label>
 
      <label><input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" value="yes" {notify_me} /> Notify me of follow-up comments?</label>
      {if captcha}
       <label for="captcha">Please enter the word you see in the image below:</label>
 
       {captcha}

        <input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20" /></p>
      {/if}
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
     {/exp:comment:form}

I thought by default it would return the user to the same page when processed. Not sure why it’s processing to the Contact page (which also has a form). Thanks for your help.

Try adding the parameters error_handling=“inline” and return=”{current_url}” into {exp:comment:form channel="blog"} You’ll also need to add error messages for inline errors, more info here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/channel_form/#error-handling

Still not working. You can see the issue here:

I’ve gone through and checked all my settings in the admin site. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

It looks like it redirects to your /contact page no matter what you put in the CAPTCHA box. What’s in your channel settings for blog? Go to Admin > Channel > blog Channel Preferences. There is Comment Page URL setting and a load of settings under Channel Posting Preferences.

Comment Page URL is empty. I checked all the other channel settings against other EE sites I’ve done with blog comments that work correctly.

I’d love to have someone from the support team chime in. Are they still on the forums? Or do I have to purchase support?

Thanks.

Any other ideas out there? Am I going to have to purchase EE support to get this figured out?

Thanks for your help.

You could try using Freeform for contact forms instead. I use it, it’s pretty good. Or if you want comments on an article you can use Disqus.
