Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

lukepermsn · 2006-10-16 10:52:05

The first thing I would ask is if any of the servers have upgraded their software (PHP, Apache, MySQL)?

There is another message a few posts up from maniqui that reports something similar.

@trebor: do you have the zem_contact_reborn form inside an article.. and is the article tag used multiple times in the template for that section?
When I don’t fill out any fields and submit the form, the error message show the same errors 4 times in a row. And what’s even more strange is that in two cases there’s an error “The form has expired, please try again”, which should only occur if you wait more than 10minutes before submitting the form.

Thanks for the reply – yes I saw the post, but what concerns me is that all the sites live on the same box at txd. Maybe I should raise a support ticket..

Stuart,

FYI… on the new Textpattern 4.0.4 zem_contact_reborn has a slight error (that gets fixed if you run in Live mode). Here is the error. I plan on taking a stab at fixing it tomorrow (Thursday 19 October 2006):

tag_error <txp:zem_contact_radio name=“current_patient” label=“No” checked=“yes” break=”“ required=“yes” /> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: required on line 582

What happened to the download link? It doesn’t work anymore (at least to me).

Where can I find and download a copy of the whole package (contact, lang and cleaner)? TY.

zem_contact_reborn + lang + cleaner can be downloaded from the plugin archive in TextBook

It looks like thebombsite.com is gone and since there haven’t been any updates to this plugin for half a year. Can we assume that it is not longer mainained? There are quite a few bugs in the existing version which I’ve already started fixing privately. Reading back in this topic, I see that Tranquillo was doing a lot of the coding. If he’s no longer working on the plugin (email sent to ask about this), I wouldn’t mind maintaining it myself.

Thanks Ruud!

Sorry about the links. I’ve updated them. thebombsite.com has been moth-balled for the foreseeable future. I’m too busy to keep it updated.

As for the plug-in itself, as mentioned earlier, Tranquillo was doing most of the important coding and he is currently very busy. There is a version 18 but it is so radically different to version 17 that I don’t want to release it without full and proper security testing as it no longer has an API and would not rely on additional plug-ins for security, but without Tranquillo’s help at the moment…

Hi,

My new plugin, Postmaster, relies on the ZCR API in version .17. I have not released the plugin yet but of course if I had my way, any known security fixes would be made to version .17 and released, either instead of or concurrently with the .18 version — which may or may not come soon? Maybe Ruud wants to take a stab at it, since he’s interested and already making fixes on his version?

ruud · 2006-10-21 18:29:12

I’m doing my fixes based on the existing .17 version. Tranquillo sent me the original code and help for that version (which is great, because otherwise I’d have to convert HTML help back to textile). Most fixes are not security related, but just fix existing functionality that is (partially) broken.

Do people still need a 4.0.3 version or is everyone switching to 4.0.4? TXP 4.0.4 has a new function that make it easier to properly encode the mail headers.

Ben, do you just need the ‘submit’ callback event or also the full anti-spam API (not sure what ZCR stands for)? I need the callback event myself for a plugin I use privately so I’m interested in keeping it.

ruud, I’m interested in this plugin and I’m using 4.0.4.

I’ve read that other plugins are needed also, would this be true of the new version?

I can help test this if you need an extra set of eyes.

ruud · 2006-10-21 18:52:48

The only plugin that is needed is zem_contact_lang. Anything else is optional. I have no plans to change that. First priority is fixing what is already there. Testing would be very welcome :)

Just one suggestion for the spam catcher. Instead of having “visibility: hidden”, it should be “display: none”, so it doesn’t take up any physical space on the screen. Also, I changed mine to “phone2” as a hidden field, since I actually was using “phone” on a client’s site.

thebombsite · 2006-10-22 11:37:39

If you want ruud I can send you the template for .18 so you can have a look at it. There are a couple of minor fixes in it such as error reporting plus one or two additions that I did, one of which I recall is a “button element” for the submit function, which you could no doubt transfer to .17. The main coding changes though are down to Tranquillo which remove the API and revert to something more akin to the original zem_contact. You could ignore those changes of course if you prefer. I did have it on one of my sites for a couple of months with no apparent problems.
