SPForm on Cloud

ultrasef — Jan 18, 2013, 09:38 AM

Even though I have the domain, www.domain, and cloud domains set as Allowed Referrers, SPForm displays the Unallowed Referrer error.

What should I do in order to troubleshoot this usually reliable Snippet?

Did it Jay. YJ gave me 2 options. #1 seems to be working. I'll wait until tomorrow to mark this solved and what solved it.

UPDATE: Support suggested I reinstall MODX into the Cloud. I'd NEVER do that in traditional hosting environment.

Reinstalling MODX into the Cloud did the trick. It acted as a reset button. The site was MODX 2.2.4 before it was Vaporized into the Cloud. It subsequently was updated to to 2.2.5 and 2.2.6.

With the Reinstall, everything works as it should.

UltraSEF, If you are encountering specific issues related to a site that isn't working in Cloud it might be beneficial to submit a support request where you feel that it's the environment or Vapor. Be sure to include the Cloud adress in the form of c0xxx.paasxx.xxx.modxcloud.com and your account name. You can submit a ticket directly from your Dashboard via the help tab.

Cheers,

Jay

I had issues with Property Sets before but that was on a different server and site.

To recap the weirdness: SPForm was installed. No Property Sets were used other than the default at install. 4 months later I was browsing Packages and noticed that SPForm displayed the "download" button as if it weren't already downloaded.

I think I know what it might be. Let me get back on this much later today. I've got meetings this morning.

Hasn't there been something said about Vapor and property sets before?

SPForm was already installed and being used on a standalone MODX (non-cloud) install. It was Vaporized.

I've had problems with Property Sets and I think it's a Vapor issue related to my particular server. Nothing else adds up.

Something somewhere is fundamentally out of whack. I'm ready to give up the Cloud and go back to my time-wasting stressful days of multiple MODX installs on various servers. Heck, I can't even get FormIt to work. GetResources Property sets aren't working either. Neither is the clear cache, even after I manually delete the core/cache directory.

That's why I say something is out of whack and SPForm seems to be the most obvious symptom.

I can't imagine how that would happen unless you installed SPForm in addition to downloading it. Installing any extra will reset its default properties. That's the point of using a Property Set instead of the default properties. A property set of your own should survive anything.

Getting a little bit weirder: browsing through the Package Manager just now it showed that SPForm was downloadable. So I downloaded it, knowing full well that I already had it downloaded.

Makes me think: Vaporized sites have issues.

UPDATE: I refreshed the Elements Tree, then opened the SPForm snippet. The default properties I had edited were toast. This tells me that Vaporized sites might have property set issues, even the default ones. Is it a file/permissions issue? Or database issue? I'd place my bets on it being a file ... no, a data... oh heck.

If you were testing, probably too little. Usually, only bots will fill a form that fast.

Try this in the snippet tag:

&useTimer=`0`

I think there's a property to adjust the times, but I can't remember offhand what it is. If you don't want to turn the timer off, let me know and I'll check.

It's still sporadic. WHen I tried it after that "warnAll" is worked, but that might've been because of the Cloud cache.

I tried it just now with my usual speed and got this message upon Submit:
You took too much or too little time filling the form.

Ouch! SO which was it! ;-)
