I don;t know why no one can seem to get Boonex's attention here but many of our sites are SUFFERING!

The join form has issues. In Firefox and Chrome, many people are experiencing problems with the date picker not working and now, my testing has revealed the form DOES NOT SUBMIT IN IE!!!

In IE, the date picker works, but after completely filling out the form and trying to create a test account, clicking the JOIN button has no result! It does not work!

This has been going on since the installation of the FINAL version.

WAKE UP!

Please address these issues!!!!!

There must be something specifically different on your site.

Every reported problem i have seen has always been with chrome. And the patch provided works for that.

Your free to test on my 7.1 site if you want. I have checked every browser. http://www2.deanbassett.com/

I just posted to your facebook support. My form has not worked in some time. I really did not notice it at first. I had this problem several versions back with the date picker but can't find any information on it. I know it's related somehow...

Also, why does the date picker work in IE but the form not submit anyway?

 I do not know. I cannot reproduce on my site. On my 7.1 site the form works fine in IE.

Is it possible the datepicker is opening under the browser in some cases? I found my old issue and how I fixed it. Thanks to Nathan. This won't work in 7.1 but might be a clue.

popup date calendar (birthday) fix

thanks to nathan

 

You made some odd changes to the base template, which is causing the date picker to load under the page, instead of above it.  The easiest way to fix this is to make a quick style edit.

 

/plugins/jquery/themes/ui.datepicker.css

 

change

 

.ui-datepicker { width: 17em; padding: .2em .2em 0; display:none; }

 

to

 

.ui-datepicker { width: 17em; padding: .2em .2em 0; display:none; z-index: 999 }

 

The added code is in red.  Remember to clear the site's cache for the changes to take effect.

 

This should force the date picker to appear above everything else.

Why won't it work in 7.1?

I was able to find that css file in dolphin 7.1, and the class i there as well and appears to be the same. So i do not see why you can't apply it to 7.1.

I do not know if that is the issue anyway. I would need to see the site.

But if the date picker is there and your able to select the date, then that would not be the issue anyway.

If you want me to test, pm me the site and I will test it with IE9 64 bit.

 That file does not exist in my version of 7.1 In fact, I think in one of the posts here about 'finalizing and cleaning up' 7.1, they talk about the new date picker they installed in the script. I will look again

@sky  not sure if you seen my other post but,  i tested your.net site with all 3 browsers and it was ok for me... 

Ok, I have not had anyone sign up since 7.1. I can't successfully complete the task from any of 3 different computers in my office using any of 4 different browsers. The date picker only works in IE for me on any of them....  Did you actually try and complete the process all the way?

Skyforum. You're going to need to provide a link. No one can reproduce the error. Feel free to pm it to me.

@deano,  I just joined your site thinking that was in question. Please feel free to delete the account.

I don't think he will mind.. he has posted his link before..

http://towtalk.net/join.php

I have seen this on another site just posted recently about the join form not being completed..

I notice the same for your site SF, 

the TOS agreement at the bottom has the same thing their site had and the form would not complete..

 {evalResult}:

found the post..

 The form is a mess. We have {evalresult} as a caption. Clearly a heavily moded form. 

I would suggest checking all the eval entries, that {eval result} in the terms caption is indicative that something is very wrong.

I must say, giving it "wake up" in bold red when you have clearly moded the form heavily and clearly screwed something up (given the {eval result} appearing as a caption) is a bit rich.

The form is not a mess. It's the same form I have always used. Worked fine in 7.09. A couple differences, Captcha was forced down our throats and since it really does not effectively stop spam, it has been removed from my form. Replaced by a simple human question.

The TOS problem I have posted before but it goes largely unnoticed, usually with a 'fix the language key' reference or no response at all. I have tried everything to repair it always to no avail. I got tired of posting about it and had reached the point  where I was just ignoring the issue. The language key is in place and correct.

I put it in bold because I have tried every solution, including using the absolute default join form, all to no avail. The date picker does not work correctly, the TOS does not properly display the language key and the form does not submit.

What mods do I have? I use Deanos Facebook connect, pretty sure that isn't causing the issue and I also use the "All Are Friends" mod by Anya Kates since Dolphins forcing of 'friends' only serves to limit activity on smaller sites, also a topic I have posted on at length with absolutely no return input from Boonex.

Just for the record, the "All Are Friends" mod was only reinstalled a couple days ago and this problem existed long before that was done.

I will say, I am my own worst enemy sometimes and in all likelihood, it will turn out to be something I had a hand in creating. The only reason I am getting loud about this issue is I am not the only one reporting it and it is a problem that can cost 7.1 site users to lose membership, money and maybe even their sites success if it isn't noticed and dealt with in a timely fashion and To date, except for one change posted to deal with Chrome, I have seen no response from Boonex at all on the issue.

I did buy a license for this site and would think I could at least get a chuckle out of them without going through all the 'submit a ticket' gooneygoohoo that gets about as much response.

If someone wants to take a peak, I'll be more than happy to let you on the server. I will also post a "yeah, I did it again" apology when and if it was my fault.

Oh yeah, I also have spaces allowed in usernames.

 Can you post the link? Was the issue ever resolved with them?

Wow... I searched through some evalresult and TOS posts. Rereading stuff you did months or years ago can be an eye opener.

I can really be a dick sometimes. (lol) I'll try to curb that behavior in the future....

 myall... HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW HE HAS MODIFIED ANYTHING?

we don't need attitude, but it can well be served back.

I have seen this a few times, on many sites..

LIGHTEN UP!

 That issue was not resolved..

I do have to say their join form did work though.

Yeah, mine always did too... I'd actually gotten so used to it being there, I didn't even think of it when I started this thread. I've had that issue all the way back to 7.0.3 (I think)

 wait your saying that {evalResult}: has always been on your join form?!

Sky.

I have determined that your form is crapping out during the email check. The eval must have a problem. Perhaps some kind of email filtering mod.

Here's a question for you. This is my current join.php file.

<?php

bx_import('BxTemplJoinPageView');

check_logged();

if (isLogged()) {
    header ('Location:' . BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php');
    exit;
}

$_page['header'] = _t( '_JOIN_H' );
$_page['header_text'] = _t( '_JOIN_H' );

if(getParam('reg_by_inv_only') == 'on' && getID($_COOKIE['idFriend']) == 0){
    $_page['name_index'] = 0;
    $_page_cont[0]['page_main_code'] = MsgBox(_t('_registration by invitation only'));
    PageCode();
    exit;
}

$_page['name_index'] = 81;
$_ni = $_page['name_index'];

$oJoinView = new BxTemplJoinPageView();
$_page_cont[$_ni]['page_main_code'] = $oJoinView->getCode();

$GLOBALS['oSysTemplate']->addJsTranslation('_Errors in join form');
$GLOBALS['oSysTemplate']->addJs(array('join.js', 'jquery.form.js'));
$GLOBALS['oSysTemplate']->addCss(array('join.css'));
PageCode();

I'm no coder but shouldn't there be a closing php tag?

Closing php tags are optional. Boonex choose to remove them from dolphin 7.1 because it fixes the error "headers already sent" if there is white space after the closing php tag.

Saves some support headaches.

An did you see my post above this one?

Never mind. I answered my own question

"If a file is pure PHP code, it is preferable to omit the PHP closing tag at the end of the file. This prevents accidental whitespace or new lines being added after the PHP closing tag, which may cause unwanted effects because PHP will start output buffering when there is no intention from the programmer to send any output at that point in the script. "

 Ah... Thanks!!! I do have an email mod installed to block certain domains....

As usual, Deano to the rescue... Since the install of the human check, I haven't really needed the email domain block. Might be a good time to get rid of it now....

I think that everyone on this site should give you a star each time they pass your name, irregardless if they are using your mods or not. You have rescued me so many times, I've lost count....

Because I looked at the form...

I could easily fix this given the ftp and admin credentials but I won't because of the way the question has been asked. 

Oh, and don't shout at me!

 what ever..

SF, the key to getting your join form to submit, is locating the source of the {evalResult} just above the sumbit button.  I was able to submit the form after I deleted {evalResult} from the page source.   Can you outline exactly what you did to create the 'Human Check'?   Did you use a language key for all the text... especially the popup text that uses single quotes?

That was it. The profile email block is adjusted to make use of changes in the design.inc.php file. Those changes were overwrote with the 7.1 update. Forgot all about that...

Once I removed those changes, you can now join. IE works, including the datepicker, Firefox fails now because of an error in the date picker. It does not popup nor does entering it in the correct format work. It always comes back with an error. I think it's the same issue as before. I cannot find the file in Nathans fix, they all have different names now....

The TOS {evalresult} still remains as well

 The bot_stopper is a simple profile block I created with the following check:

return strtolower($arg0) == 'towing';

I have never had any issues with it's performance and outside of what dolphin might create when the block is created, i have added no language keys for it.

I'm talking about the text that appears in the popup when you hover over the info icon.  You had to enter that somewhere.

I tested your join form date picker with firefox. Works fine.

Try clearing your browsers cache or go to your join form and refresh with CTRL-F5. It's similar to F5 except with CTRL it clears the cache for that page.

 http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Join-form-not-working-2012-12-20.htm

 I always clear the cache when I am working each and every time. Usually when i get this far into it, I will go onto the server and manually delete it just to make sure. I can now successfully join using the Facebook mod but still have issues in firefox...

Need some friggin brain food I think....

 38 days ago? LOL. Been working on this longer than I thought. 38 days ago, I was in New York helping to clean up the flood cars. That means I was on my laptop in a bedbug infested motel room... Probably thought I had it fixed or got sidetracked.

 Cleared all cache manually. Cleared browser cache completely (including cookies just in case), cntl F5 join page, even went in and disabled popup protection for towtalk.net, all to no avail....I am using the latest version of Firefox, vs 19.0. on an XP machine, fully updated...

As far as i know. Firefox 19 is a beta.

I cannot test with windows XP. But on windows 7 firefox is only up to 18.0.1.   19 is a beta and i do not install betas.

Ok, let me redress my Firefox and see what happens. Might be an issue interacting with the beta...

That's it. The beta version of Firefox and the date picker are incompatible. I went ahead and sent a bug report back to Mozilla along with a link to my join page. I suggest a small disclaimer on the top of the join page to warn people that beta browsers may be incompatible?

Anyways, thanks again for the help.

I will start a new thread about the TOS and the evalresult issue just to keep the two topics separated...

Good! My offer stands for the fixing of the evalResult caption.

I have read this and a couple other posts about the join for not working. I did nothing, basically a fresh install, and join for not working.

Any ideas?

http://www.thebykrack.com

 Did you search the main forums for "join button not working?" That is what is going on.

Your Facebook connect is working, just created an account.

Do that search, and so will I to see what might cause this.

You need to re compile your forums language file

http://thebykerack.com/forum/?action=goto&manage_forum=1

Also noted that on the profile page, the add friend button is wrong, did you change something there?

I cannot even get to the site. Server not found error.

If it's a fresh install i am guess one of tow things. Either the built in spam filters are stopping it, or most likely JS problems due to the JS caching which should be off by default on new installs due to the number of servers it's does not work on.

it is working on my side, I have had this site for years, started in the dolphin 6 I think, but started fresh again not long ago with 7, my server updated it to the current, I am still getting used to the admin side of the new setup. only thing I did from before was add to the join, but I pulled those out, they worked fine on the old, saw that was a problem on the new, so I removed them

The first link you posted is spelled wrong. That's why i could not get to it.

It was not until newton posted the forum link that i noticed the domain was spelled differently.
