Cookies Problem

2010-03-16T15:54:55Z

Ok here is what is happening. I have a FBC login button on every article on our site. When the user logs-in the return_when_logged_in= param reflects that specific articles URL so they get bounced right back to the article to comment ect. works like a champ.

The problem comes with the cookie that is set by the exp:fbc:login_button tag the cookie name itself becomes a hash of the tags param’s, so for every article a user visits on the site a new cookie is set representing the difference in the hash for that return_when_logged_in= param. Normally would not be a big deal except for the potential to visit hundreds of articles resulting in hundreds of unique cookies being set.

Which will eventually result in this error:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

for the time being i just made the return_when_logged_in= param the same on all articles. But i think the benefit to having the user return to the article where they decided to log-in is helpful for the user so they don’t have to dig to find that article again.

Forgot password form submission, can set to specific redirect?

2009-12-30T11:50:41Z

I want to specify where


{exp:user:forgot}

redirects to.

I want it to redirect to itself, so I can post a message, using jQuery saying an email has been sent w/ instructions to reset password.

There is no mention of a redirect parameter in the documentation http://www.solspace.com/docs/detail/user_forgot_password/#parameters

Is there a hack to get it to post to itself or it needs to redirect to a special page to process the function?

Mail Chimp

2010-02-09T12:25:30Z

I’ve been using Mail Chimp quite a bit lately and it would be great to have an extension for freeform that sends the form info as an email subscription to Mail Chimp.

Does anyone know if there is a script like this available? I’m thinking of even hiring someone to do it, but need to think the details through more if I do that.

Using more than one rating category per entry

2007-06-26T08:42:50Z

It’s possible I missed a response to this, but my eyes are blurry after bashing my head against a brick wall on this.

This is all on a dev machine, so I can’t give links to it, in case anyone able to help asks, but here goes anyway…

I’ve set up my fields - review, rating1, rating2 rating3, rating4. Ultimately, rating 1 will equate to something like service, rating 2 will equate to cleanliness and so on. The post will be about a ‘customer exper, and ers will have the opportunity to give a review of their experience of that outlet, and rate it according to those criteria. So far so good - form collects reviews and ratings, and I can get them to display against the post as numerical values, so I know all of that is working. But then I hit a problem when I try and make it pretty…

{stars}{rating1}{/stars}
{stars}{rating2}{/stars}
{stars}{rating3}{/stars}
{stars}{rating4}{/stars} 

returns:

***
{stars}1{/stars}
{stars}4{/stars}
{stars}3{/stars} 

for example - ie it will display one star rating and the rest it just returns the numerical rating wrapped in a {stars} tag

But, and here’s the odd thing - or even odder thing, at least to me - if I try:

{stars}{rating1}{/stars}
{circles}{rating2}{/circles}
{bar}{rating3}{/bar}
{stars}{rating4}{/stars} 

I get:

***
OOOO
[] [] []
{stars}2{/stars} 

for example.

Suffice to say I am bemused. I’ve poked around the module, extension and language files and decided to leave well alone lest I wreak complete havoc, so any help would be much appreciated.

Aside from this issue - I’d like to congratulate all at Solspace on this module - it totally rocks!

Thanks in advance

Getting Freeform to work with AJAX

2008-02-24T03:00:13Z

I got Freeform to workwith Jquery (ajax).
The problem is, when submitting a form is not successful (like when a user doesnt enter a reqd field),
FreeForm, returns the EE standard “error” page saying “You need to fillin these fields….”

Instead, I would like to be able to tell the user that message in a nice box next to the submit button,
instead of taking the user to another page.

Any ideas?
Ideally, I could get FreeForm return an error as a simple string i could parse out in javascript, such as:
“Failed:Email,Address1,Phone”

A Database Error Occurred

Table 'victory_expression.exp_extensions' doesn't exist

SELECT DISTINCT ee.* FROM exp_extensions ee WHERE enabled = 'y' ORDER BY hook, priority ASC, class 

Can you wise ones inform me of what i might be doing wrong?

Is there any way to auto notify the user author once they have been assigned to an entry?

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce that a bigger and better, more in-your-face Freeform is in the works… Freeform Pro.
To be completely upfront with you, Freeform Pro will not be a free module, but it will come with a bundle of new features, as well as FULL support and ongoing development.
Not to worry, Freeform “classic” will still remain free, and available

Over the years there’s been many feature requests and suggestions… and we probably haven’t been keeping complete track of everything.
This is why we’re looking to the community to help us with new feature suggestions!

Please, we welcome all suggestions… do not hesitate to suggest some of your deepest, darkest Freeform fantasies!
This is not to say we’ll add everything suggested, but don’t be surprised if we do!

I’m going to spill the beans and mention that Freeform Pro will have EDITING capabilities!
There’s others in consideration… but I wont mention them yet

Last but not least… in appreciation of your previous and ongoing support for Freeform, we’ll be giving out a few free copies of Freeform Pro to the best suggestions!

Sorry Mitchell! It’s too late… I’ve already posted… now we’re stuck giving out some free copies

tags in gallery and weblog

2010-03-15T12:04:44Z

Hi,

I have the tag module working in a gallery but can’t get it to work with a weblog.

Manage weblog preference says: There are currently no preferences. (?)

Creating tag in publish works, but no tag cloud and no tags are showing:

<div class="cloud">
{exp:tag:cloud  weblog="blog" groups="4" step="2" limit="25"}
<a href="{path='blog/tag'}{websafe_tag}" title="{tag}" style="font-size:{step}px;">{tag}a> 
{/exp:tag:cloud}


{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}"  limit="99"   disable="pagination|member_data|trackbacks"}
<div class="entry">
<h3>{title}h3>
<div class="posted">Posted by {author} on {entry_date format='%m/%d'} at {entry_date format='%h:%i %A'}div>

<p class="tags">Tags:{exp:tag:tags entry_id="{entry_id}"  backspace="2" sort="desc" limit="10" show_future_entries="yes"}
<a href="{path='blog/tags/tag'}{websafe_tag}" title="{tag}">{tag}a>, {/exp:tag:tags}p>

{blog_body}
div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
