Hi,
I have a normal form markup inside a template. Now I have defined an action for this form. The action is inside another template in the same template group and I used the path tag to reffer to it. It is not working. My question is because it’s not supposed to or because there is a bug somewhere…

P.S: I did set the template with the action up to allow PHP!

Thanks,

It would probably help others to answer your question if you included the code you’re using.

Well for a start it would help me to know if it is actually allowed to use the template path and a php code defined in a template as an action!

Example:

<code><form action="{path="group/template"}" method="get" ...</code>

If it is it must be the code so I will post it.

Thanks,

Yeah, there’s no reason why that shouldn’t work.  What’s the HTML outputted by that tag?

Hi,
since I still haven’t figured out how to make it work I’m going to post a more extensive description of what I’m doing.

I have a form in a normal template that looks like this:

<form id="myform" action="{path="signup/_processor"}" method="post" accept-charset="{charset}">
    
        Name:

        <input id="name" name="name" type="text" value="" />
    
    
    
        <input name="submit" type="image" src="#" alt="Submit" />
    
</form>

and I have a small javascript (and the mootools.net library) to validate the field via AJAX:

//<![CDATA[
        window.addEvent('domready', function() {
            $('myform').addEvent('submit', function(e) {
                new Event(e).stop();
                var log = $('log').empty().addClass('ajax-loading');
                this.send( {
                    update: log,
                    onComplete: function() {
                        log.removeClass('ajax-loading');
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    //]]>

and my _processor template looks like this (not the full template beacuse I know the script works fine):

<?php
    include('{path="signup/_functions"}');
    
    //Check user language.
    $language = $_POST['language'];

    // Check if name is available.
    if ($_POST['name'] == '') {
        if ($language == 'en') {
            $errors[] = "Name is required.";
        }
        else {
            $errors[] = "ES:Name is required.";
        }
    }

Now the funny thing is if I remove the “_” (my indicator for hidden templates) from my _processor template and I comment out the javascript in my header (the one to call up the AJAX validation) it works just fine. A new page opens with just the errors. As soon as I put in the AJAX again it doesn´t work. Why can this be?
