TOPIC: Problem with fangate and RSForm

Hi

Great work on ffgate. Looking really good

I'm in the middle of trialling ffgate to run a fangated competition. Everything is working fine apart from the integration between the fangateing and RSForm Pro (used so end users can answer the questions)

With Fangateing switched off (basic options>public set to yes) everything works very well. Everyone can see the facebook app, fill in the form and enter the competition.

However with fangate switched on (basic options>public set to no) the fangate works fine, however once users have filled in the form and pressed submit a 'users from facebook aren't allowed to access this page directly' error is shown.

I'm pretty sure everything is setup correctly and it's the public yes/no causing the problems.
Any ideas how I can achieve a fangated form??

Hi,

hmm probably the sec_key (Security key) is missing after the RSForm Pro form is submitted. You could try inserting it to a hidden input in the RSForm (not sure that this is working, have a try) or add it to the result url (&sec_key=xx).

Best regards,

Yves

Hi Yves

Thanks for the super quick reply.

I've tried pasting in &sec_key=verysecurekey here there and everywhere in RSForm Pro with no luck. still getting the same error message.

I've a feeling it may be in form attributes or the PHP scrips section of RSForm Pro but not too sure

Is it worth trying to get it to work with RSForm Pro or is it easier to switch to a different form tool which is easier to use with ffgate?

Hmm don't know RSForm Pro very well, but i took a look at the description - you should be able to add a hidden field, name it sec_key and set the value to verysecure (it's just like a normal input field but not shown).

Best regards,

Yves

Hmm, thanks again.. Still no joy tho. You can see it in action at

The app is hidden a little with the heading 'win a signed copy of...'

I'm stumped.

I know it's a bit beyond the call of duty but if you want to try things in the backend let me know.

Hi,

aye backend access would help - you could also add me on Skype (yves.hoppe).

Yves

I've added you to the admin area and sent you a IM on skype.

Any luck with this issue?

Thanks.

Yes! Thanks to Yves for the help the following worked fine.. I have the following info stored in my notes which allowed RSform pro to work correctly. Yves did note that it's not 100% secure after this, site will be directly accessible.


You have to change: components/com_ffgate/views/site/tmpl/default.php on line 74

Just comment the line out and add a new line echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->site->html_text);

This works great.
Thanks.

I will see if it works with RS Firewall as well, for extra security.

Yep, Works fine with RS Firewall.
