Hello,

I have recently installed Freeform 2.5.9.  Everything has gone smoothly with no errors.  I have created a form, and a template.
When i submit a form, i receive a notification email with the entered information, however no entries appear in the database.
What am i doing wrong?

Here is the code:

{exp:freeform:form form_name="prayer_requests" required="name|email|subject|prayer_request" notify="jon@vfgarner.com" template="prayer" return="prayer/completed"}

<h2>Submit A Prayer Request</h2>

<
p><label for="from">Please fill in all fields below so we can best assist you!</label>&nbsp;</p>

   <
p><label for="name">Your Name:</label><br />
   <
input type="text" id="name" name="name" size="40" maxlength="35" value="{member_name}" /> *</p>

   <
p><label for="from">Your Email:</label><br /><input type="text" name="email" size="40" value="{member_email}" /> *</p>

   <
p><label for="name">Subject:</label><br />
   <
input type="text" id="subject" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="35" value=" " /> *</p>

   <
p><label for="name">Prayer Request:*</label><br />
   <
textarea id="message" name="prayer_request" rows="12" cols="58"></textarea>

<
p>&nbsp;</p>

{if captcha}

<p>Please enter the word you see in the image below:</p>

<
p>{captcha}<br /><input type="text" name="captcha" value="" maxlength="20" /></p>

{/if}
<p><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Prayer Request" /></p>
{/exp:freeform:form}

Thanks in advance for your help!

I can replicate the problem you’re having on a brand new install of 2.5.9.

Other than stating that I’m having the same problem, I don’t have an answer for you.

Just for good measure, download Freeform 2.6.0 from solspace.com. On both 2.5.9 and 2.6.0 I was not able to reproduce the bug you are experiencing. But try upgrading and see what happens.

Just upgraded, and I still have the same problem: no database entries, but i receive the notification email just fine.
I’m running EE 1.6.0

Any other ideas?

Mitchell, the same problem on my end.

In this case, it’s an EE Core install.

For the record, I’ve upgraded EE to version 1.6.1 and still have the issue.

Is there anything else i can test or try out on my end?

After testing this, the entries are still going into the database for me, however, I’m encountering a couple other errors.

We’ll look further into this. wink

Pie Man, on my test install it was on EECore 1.6.1 build 20071114 with no previous version of FreeForm installed.

jonhorton,

You’re using a full version of EE 1.6.1 you say?

I cannot seem to duplicate that same problem you’re encountering.
Perhaps try de-installing the Module, delete the files from your server, and start over?

As for EE 1.6.1 Core, I’m running into a couple hiccups…

Pie Man,

I started off with the Core version 1.52, then upgraded to the Full version 1.6.0, then upgraded again to 1.6.1.
I’ve verified that all the necessary files are there, and have uninstalled freeform, and reinstalled, and still entries do not show up.

On a different site i’m working on, i installed EE 1.6.1 Core, and then installed freeform, and i have no problems.  Entries post, and i receive emails.

Is there any way i can try to debug this, and find out at which point it stops working?

Thanks again for all your help!

Oh crap, i feel so stupid! i figured it out on my end.
I had a subject field that i was using, and i didn’t realize that it wasn’t a default field.
So once i enabled PHP/MySQL error messages i saw that is wasn’t allowing anything to be written to the database since “subject” wasn’t a valid field. 

However, the emails still went through, and the {subject} tag still worked properly in the emails, which is why i couldn’t figure out the problem.

Just a question for clarification:  If I attempt to include a field that is not yet defined in the freeform module, is it supposed to alert me whenever i use the form?

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again for the help!

Haha, good to hear you figured it out… I can finally get some sleep now raspberry :D

How dare you think that one of our modules could be flawed?! haha, j/k :D

Well currently, no Freeform will not alert you if the field does not exist…. however, it would definately be a good feature to have… I’ll make a note of this smile
