Advancedform_XH

[bca]

hi
I have a form I have used for a while. I decided I did not need a couple of the fields.
When I delete them the form dissapears - just the captcha appears.
No debug info although it does say there was a fatal error. (Luckily I had a back up)
In fact if I delete any field it happens. When I put the field back in exactly the same the form comes back OK
Happens everytime. XH1.7

Hm, I can't reproduce this with Advancedform_XH 1.1 under CMSimple_XH 1.7.0 with PHP 7.1.4. If I delete the "Date" field from the "Contact" form, everything works as expected.

Is it possible that you're having a hook function in place which expects this field?

Not intentionally. How would I know?

There would be a file MYFORM.inc in plugins/advancedform/data/ (where MYFORM is the name of your form).

Another cause for the malfunction might be that form.dat is prone to line-ending issues. If you transfer the file via FTP, you have to make sure that it's transferred in ASCII (binary) mode instead of TEXT mode. However, if form.dat works online, it shouldn't be affected by broken the form definitions via the GUI.

I recreated the form and used the template from the old form, changing the form name etc and had the same problem!
On further investigation there was an unclosed div in the template.
Seems to be working OK now
