akforms component 1.3 error

[xmanhattan]

Hello,

The form component 1.3 has an error where if you do not enter the captcha correctly, for an email address field it does not return the email address but some html code.

The other errors are:
After returning to the page, the email address is incorrectly presented as seen here.


The second problem is that he uses a cookie or session with a long expiration period.  This will leave the information in the user's browser cache for longer than necessary.

Can't see any error in my version, try to download the newest version 1.4

[xmanhattan]

Just unloaded 1.3 and loaded 1.4 but sadly I found the same error.

Additionally, before I unloaded the component, I made a backup of the forms via export.  Then I loaded them into 1.4 and found a new error.

Aparently after importing the forms, fields are duplicated twice as shown here.



While I know that the program is offered for free, I do think that the programmer must either do better testing or ask someone else to test it for them.

Well I do the testing, I'm aware of such mistakes in past but the new version should be OK, let me check more.

Will get back to you.

Thanks

Hi,

I asked the developer to check the version of ak forms. The attached version works fine to me.

I tested: export, import, copy forms, the captcha works fine ( did also in previous version).

Try to uninstall and install the new version attached. Unfortunately due to some fixes you will need to create the forms again ( the exported xml forms won't work correctly.) let me know whether everything worked. after that we will update the new version on EDC.

Thanks developer acampball for help.

After uploading and installing 1.5, the import of the forms worked but the problem noted in my first post still exists.

Now even if I return to the home page and then go back to the form, the email field still shows html coding.

akForms Bot-must be under email cloacking bot

Okay that solves the html code problem.

There is still the matter of the form information being kept either by a cookie or session that should not show after returning to the form again.

Thanks for reporting, I will ask the developer what can he do with it. Will let you know afterwards.
