Formit + Base href = no good

Hi!

I have a fairly simple contact form that I spent a half day with, trying to get it work. I made sure the email system was working properly, tested it with the form from wiki and uninstalled the Formit add-on three or four times. Then, I tested the form on a blank page and it worked. Next I started adding elements from the page that didn't work and this broke it: <base href="[[++site_url]]" />

I suspect that this is the line that is failing:

<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" class="form" id="lomake">

What does that *id with twenty brackets do precisely? How does declaring base href affect it?

Also I have Babel installed and with that my web context's home directory isn't root but www.example.com/fi/. I suspect this might have something to do with it? I have .htaccess done according to this: http://designfromwithin.com/blog-webdesign-development/2012/01/12/modx-multilingual-setting-up-babel-and-have-a-website-with-multible-languages/

Thanks!

Forum removed the code, they should look like this:

Hm. More interesting stuff happening because of that base href. I'm using respond.js and media queries. IE7 and IE8 were not rendering the page correctly when resizing. Then just for the laughs I commented out the base href and now IE8 works fine.

What is that thing and should it be changed when site_url is not the physical root of the server? Should I change .htaccess?

If you have Friendly URL active, yes. Here is an example of the .htaccess for a website that is not in the root (see line 2, website_folder_here):

Sorry, I was a bit unclear on that. The site is at the root, it just has two virtual subfolders for language contexts, /fi/ and /en/. They don't exist and all the requests to those folders are redirected to root in .htaccess.

Did you create a site_url Context Setting for each context?

Yes. And contrary to my previous post, the Finnish (web) context has no subfolder defined in context settings, only /en/ does.

Here are the settings for both contexts:

web
base_url: /
cultureKey: fi
site_start: 1
site_url: http://www.mysite.com

en
base_url: /en/
cultureKey: en
site_start: 13
site_url: http://www.mysite.com/en/

See if you can preview the pages containing the form. If so, do a "view source" on them and see what the form action is. It should be the same as the URL of the page. If it's not, try to adjust the site_url setting for the context so that it is.

The following tag is (in theory) replaced by the URL of the current page:

Hmm. It is different and doesn't even make any sense. It looks like this: contact.html?id=
When it should be contact.html

Oh, and my ModX version is 2.2.1.

If you have Friendly URLs turned on in System Settings, make sure there is an .htaccess (not ht.access) file in the root.

Or, better yet, turn friendly URLs off and make sure there *isn't* an .htaccess file in the root. That will tell you if the problem is with .htaccess rewrite rules.
