Hi,

I followed the guide at this link:
crosstec.org/en/support/online-documenta...-of-submissions.html

THE CODE ADDED IN THE PIECE BEFORE THE FORM IS THIS:

$ip=$_SERVER;;
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery("Select count(id) From #__facileforms_records Where ip ='".$ip."' and form = 15");
if( $db->loadResult() > 2 ){
// replace index.php with the url to an article explaining that the max. amount has been reached
header("Location: www.robertobaggio.com ");
exit;
}


After the submission the user is correctly redirected to www.robertobaggio.com , but when i go to "managed records" unfortunately i see that the submission has been recorded, and moreover the submitter receives the notification as well as the admins.......

Any help?

Thanks,

Baggio

Hello Baggio,

the script works in the following way:
If the user hasn't reached the limit, he will be able to submit the form. His data is going to be saved in the database and the depending emails are going to be sent out.
If the user has reached the limit, he will be instantly redirected to the specified webpage, without the opportunity to submit any values. This is not the behavior you're experiencing?

Also, you're missing a part of the code. The first line should look like this:

Dear Marko,

unfortunately the script is not working as it should.
I already added the first line of the code, sorry I lost it here in the copy/paste.
The limit is set to 2, but this is what happen at the third submission:

- He get redirected to the page where are explained the reasons of such limit (this step is the only one that work as it should)
- Such submission unfortunately get recorded in the "managed records".
- Such submission unfortunately get emailed to the user and to the admins
- The form is displayed in a module, hosted in the home page and the contact page. From the third submission on, the user won't be able any more to access the home page and the contact page because he will be redirected to the page where are explained the reasons of the limit!

So, at this stage, my question is. There is any script that, once the limited is reached, can simply show a message in the module (replacing the original form) and say "Hey, you reached the limit", instead of making the home page unaccessible?

You know the thanks message that appears in the module after the submission. When you get the limit, a similar message could stay there, always, even the user refresh, in order to making impossibile a new submission.

If you have any more ideas please let me know,

Thanks,

Hey Robbie,

that's a very strange behavior, because when the limit is reached, users should be automatically redirected to the specified page. They shouldn't access the form at all, meaning there shouldn't be any submissions or email sending.

You have a thank you page. Perhaps that's the problem. Could you turn it off and see if it'll make a difference?

Would you be willing to provide backend access (Joomla Super User) so I can test it directly? If so, send the info to support@crosstec.org and notify me here when you send it out.
