Formit redirect not working IF FormItAutoResponder is used

86 Posts

I have the following setup for a 'Contact Us' form:

[[!FormIt?
    &hooks=`recaptchav2,spam,email,redirect,FormItAutoResponder`
    &emailTpl=`EmailTpl`
    &emailTo=`[email protected]`
    &emailSubject=`'Contact Us' inquiry: [[+category]]`
    &fiarTpl=`AutoResponseTpl`
    &fiarSubject=`Thank You for Contacting Us`
    &fiarToField=`email`
    &fiarFromName=`My Company`
    &fiarFrom=`[email protected]`
    &redirectTo=`23`
    &store=`1`
    &validate=`nospam:blank,
      category:required,
      name:required,
      email:email:required,
      comment:required:stripTags`
    &vTextRequired=`Enter a value for this field`
    &category.vTextRequired=`Select a category`
    &name.vTextRequired=`Enter your name`
    &email.vTextRequired=`Enter your email address`
    &email.vTextEmailInvalid=`Enter a valid email address`
    &comment.vTextRequired=`Enter your comment or question`
    &validationErrorMessage=`<div class="val-error-hdr">
        <a href="[[~22]]" class="btn float-right">Reset form</a>
        <h3>Please review the following errors:</h3>
        <ul>
            [[+errors]]
        </ul>
        </div>`
]]
[[!+fi.validation_error_message]]

<h1 class="form-header">How May We Help You?</h1>
<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" id="form-contact" method="post">
...

With this configuration, the recaptcha, email and autoresponse works fine, but it does not redirect. If I remove the FormItAutoResponder parameter, then redirect starts working.

Somehow, FormItAutoResponder is aborting the redirect before it can complete.

I have tried positioning FormItAutoResponder before the 'redirect' parameter, and it still stops the redirect from happening.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance..

I'm see you have tried swapping the sequence of events around, and I may have misunderstood what you have tried, so apologies if this is what you have already done.

Does it work if you put redirect at the end, both in the &hooks line and when specifying where to redirect to with the &redirectTo=`23` as in the sample here:
https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/formit/FormIt.FormItRetriever

[[!FormIt?
    &hooks=`recaptchav2,spam,email,FormItAutoResponder,redirect`
    &emailTpl=`EmailTpl`
    &emailTo=`[email protected]`
    &emailSubject=`'Contact Us' inquiry: [[+category]]`
    &fiarTpl=`AutoResponseTpl`
    &fiarSubject=`Thank You for Contacting Us`
    &fiarToField=`email`
    &fiarFromName=`My Company`
    &fiarFrom=`[email protected]`
    &store=`1`
    &validate=`nospam:blank,
      category:required,
      name:required,
      email:email:required,
      comment:required:stripTags`
    &vTextRequired=`Enter a value for this field`
    &category.vTextRequired=`Select a category`
    &name.vTextRequired=`Enter your name`
    &email.vTextRequired=`Enter your email address`
    &email.vTextEmailInvalid=`Enter a valid email address`
    &comment.vTextRequired=`Enter your comment or question`
    &validationErrorMessage=`<div class="val-error-hdr">
        <a href="[[~22]]" class="btn float-right">Reset form</a>
        <h3>Please review the following errors:</h3>
        <ul>
            [[+errors]]
        </ul>
        </div>`
    &redirectTo=`23`]]

It was worth a try, but no joy.

I set the hooks order to:

&hooks=`recaptchav2,spam,email,FormItAutoResponder,redirect`

..and moved the

&redirectTo=`23`

to the end.

There is a lot going on here (recaptchav2,spam,email,FormItAutoResponder,redirect), and the presence of FormItAutoResponder in the list still seems to prevent redirection from occurring.

If FormItAutoresponder returns false, the error should be logged according to the code. Any errors in the MODX error log?

Right. Should have done that sooner. This error occurs every time I submit the form with FormItAutoresponder enabled:

[2018-03-15 15:40:46] (ERROR @ /paas/c0205/www/core/cache/includes/elements/modsnippet
/3.include.cache.php : 145) [FormIt] An error occurred while trying to send the auto-responder 
email: SMTP Error: data not accepted.SMTP server error: DATA END command failed

Any ideas how to fix that DATA END error?

I just did another test using QuickEmailCheck, and the resulting report looks good, at least as far as I can tell. Maybe someone with more chops in this area can see something amiss?

When a hook fails, the hooks after it in the list don't execute.

One possible cause is having a from email address for the autoresponder that is not authorized to send from your server (i.e., no mail account with that email address).

Some other ideas here: https://www.google.com/search?q=SMTP+server+error%3A+DATA+END+command+failed&oq=SMTP+server+error%3A+DATA+END+command+failed

Thanks Bob.

I made the two email addresses in these MODX System Settings the same:

emailsender
mail_smtp_user

Still no joy. This email address IS authorized to send and receive via the SMTP server set in the MODX settings value: mail_smtp_hosts

One thing to note - the autoresponder does not fail. It sends an autoresponse just fine. But it also causes the redirect to fail. Without the autoresponder enabled, the redirect works fine.

Some of the people at the link I gave also had the email sent successfully, even though PhpMailer crashed as it did for you.

Does adding &fiarReplyTo help?

&fiarFrom=`[email protected]`
&fiarReplyTo=`[email protected]`

Looking at the report from SMTP test it looks like you are logging in to the server using the address kjf@. Perhaps if Formit Auto Responder does not specify a ReplyTo then the system sends kjf@ as the reply to. This would cause a mismatch between the sender and the replay to which could cause the error you are seeing.

If this does not help could you post all your code so that we can see if there is a problem in any of your templates or forms?

This would include the contents of &emailTpl=`EmailTpl`, &fiarTpl=`AutoResponseTpl` the form and the code on resource id 23

@Andy - It's okay for the sender and reply-to not to match. In fact it's pretty much required that they not match for a contact form where the email the user supplies is the reply to (so you can respond), but the from/sender must be an email authorized to send email from the server.
