Using eform events (Fatal error: Call to undefined function)

I would like to use a eform event. Something I have done in the past, but sometimes it just doesn’t work, and I can’t seem to tie down why.
Calling

where fileUpload looks like:



should work?

try setting the first snippet to [[fileUpload]] (cached)

Thanks, as always for your help dev!

Unfortunately that helped none, but I think I have it now.
The problem would appear to be that once a function wasn’t found, no matter what you change the name of the function to, or the snippet name, eForm will not find it unless....

You call the eForm snippet like this:

[[SnippetContainingMyFunction]]
[!eForm?&parameters=`lots but no event call`!]

so removing the event parameter, calling the page, then replacing it seems to work.

Thanks for your help!

Interesting, this sounds like a cache issue of some sort. Maybe if we disable the document cache all together it will not have this effect.

So I came across the exactly the same problem on a different site today. I pulled and pulled at my hair, got really upset, and then:

I noticed that I get that error if the snippet being called throws a parse error.

Maybe this was the problem all along?!?

I had the same problem, and found that if i called the eFormEvent snippet uncached it solved the problem
eg [!eFormEvent!]
i think also it was because there was a parse error in the snippet, and i couldnt get round the fact the snippet had been read with the error and lodged in the cache. Once i fixed the snippet, it still didnt work - but once i called the eFormEvent uncached I was back in business.
