Hello -- I have simplified our script/template below. We have had a problem with users not being able to signup for classes using our form on occasion. I've narrowed it down to either cookies not being enabled or the user has clicked the back button previously. Are we not connecting properly? We can easily check for cookies being enabled, but I'm not sure how to fix the "validator id not registered" errors that are being thrown at the time the users encounter this problem. The user just gets the form displayed with no errors indicated. Also, note that this is within a custom Drupal 6 module. Thank you.

The script and template follow:

Code:

<?php

include_once(SMARTY . '/libs/SmartyValidate.class.php');

function local_class_signup() {
   $smarty = &_smarty_get_object();

   if (empty($_POST)) {
      SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);
      SmartyValidate::register_validator('firstName', 'firstName', 'notEmpty');
      SmartyValidate::register_validator('lastName', 'lastName', 'notEmpty');
      
      return $smarty->fetch(TEMPLATE_DIR . 'training_local.tpl');
   }
   else {
       //data posted from form...
      SmartyValidate::connect($smarty);
      
      if (SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST)) {
         SmartyValidate::disconnect();
         //do db stuff
           // go to the success screen        
            return $smarty->fetch(TEMPLATE_DIR . 'signup_success.tpl');
      }  //end smarty isValid else block
      else {
         $smarty->assign($_POST);         
         return $smarty->fetch(TEMPLATE_DIR . 'training_local.tpl');
      }
   }
}





Code:

{* Smarty *}

  <label for="firstName">First Name: </label><br />
  {validate id="firstName" message='<span class="error">Please enter a first name</span><br />'}
  <input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName" value="{$firstName|escape}" size="45" /><br />
 

  <label for="lastName">Last Name: </label><br />
  {validate id="lastName" message='<span class="error">Please enter a last name</span><br />'}
  <input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName" value="{$lastName}" size="45" /><br />

one thing I notice, you only test:

if (empty($_POST))

to determine if the form is new or not. What if they hit the enter key reloading the form without a post? it will wipe it out. Maybe test empty $_POST AND also if the form is registered already.

Great catch! I've made the update. We also found that our Drupal installation had caching enabled for performance reasons, so we added the cache exclusion module that specifically disables caching for certain pages. No more issues. Thanks!
