Version 2.2.15 is out! This update comes with a small performance upgrade. Now you can choose on which pages you want to embed the JS and CSS files of the FrontendForms module. This means that you can prevent the files from loading on pages that do not contain a form. This also allows these pages to load faster This version includes a new configuration field in the backend where you can select all the pages where you want the files to be embedded. Best regards

Version 2.2.14 is out! This new version comes with a new CAPTCHA type: a slider captcha. Now FrontendForms supports 7(!) different CAPTCHA types and I guess this will be the last one. There is a fabulous module in the module directory which also creates a slider captcha that can be used with other forms: Slide Captcha. But the slider Captcha in FrontendForms is an extra coded and integrated captcha, that has nothing to do with this module. To be clear: The slider captcha inside FrontendForms is similiar to the Slide Captcha module, but it has nothing to do with it. So there is no need to install the other module. The only thing you have to do is to enable the slider captcha in the module configuration - that is all. You have 1 additional configuration field where you can select the accuracy of the puzzle piece to the goal. 5 means that the distance of the puzzle pieces to the target must be less than or equal to 5px in order to solve the captcha correctly. Here you can see the new slider captcha in action: As always, please report any bugs on Github!

Version 2.2.13 comes with an upgrade for the FrontendFormsManager module. The FrontendFormsManager module shipped with FrontendForms was added a few versions ago. The usage of this module is optional. This module now also supports the management of suspicious IP addresses. These are IPs that have been temporarily banned due to many unsuccessful form submission attempts (logging must be enabled in this case). A new section for managing these IP has been added. As you can see, a table of statistical data and a chart have been added to the FrontendFormsManager. When you click on the "Go to all temporarily blocked IPs" button, you will be redirected to a new page that contains all the temporarily banned IPs. The data is taken from a log file. Below you will see a screenshot of this page. Inside this table you have a button to view more details about this IP and a button to add/remove this IP to/from the blacklist. If you click the "View details about this IP" button a panel will be opened with more information about the IP and the number of blockings. With this information, you can now decide whether you want to block this IP permanently by adding it to the blacklist or not. Happy testing!

Thanks @BitPoet I have never heard about this config settings property, but I will give it a try.? It happens only on a testing site, so I have changed the site from multilanguage to single language and then the error was gone. So the problem is only on a multilanguage installation in my case.

Hello @all I am struggeling with the following error message, which appears after the first install of a module on a brand new PW installation by viewing log files: Short description: After a fresh install of PW-dev 3.0.240 (latest dev version) on a server running PHP 8.3 and MySql 8.0 everything works fine if I go to the log files. I can view the log files for errors, exceptions, modules,... without problems. After I install my first module (in my case I have installed the ProcessDatabaseBackups module from Ryan) this error message will be thrown if I want to view a log file. To be clear again: This error message will be thrown if I want to view a log file in the backend AFTER I have installed a module. Before the first install of a module everything works fine. On my localhost running on PHP 8.2 there is no problem. Could this be a PHP 8.3 problem? Does anyone struggle with the same problem? I have found some older posts of a similar problem in the forum, but none of them helps me to solve this problem. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction, what the problem could be, because the error message does not help me to find the cause for this error. Edit: Ok, it seems that this is a MySQL safety rule on shared hosts, but is there a possibility to change this like inside a php.ini for PHP? Thanks in advance

Thanks @Andy I have added your site to the live examples. ?

Thank you @Andy If you have a live site online with FrontendForms, you can give me a link to your site and I will add it to the "Live examples" section of the readme file. This is a brand new section so there are only 2 examples there at the moment, but I will add more examples over the time. In this case you get a backlink for free to your site, but I will point it to the page where the form is included.

Hello @Andy I have seen this CAPTCHA and it looks good. I have to test it first to see how it works and if and how it could be implemented into FrontendForms. But this is not on top of my priority list. At the moment I am working on an upgrade of the FrontendFormsManager to implement an UI for blocked IPs. Currently this will be handled inside the module config, but I want a better UI outside of the module config. This should help site owners to identifiy and block suspicious IP addresses, so I am working on to include this inside the FrontendFormsManager. But I will keep the new CAPTCHA on my list ?. Best regards

Version 2.2.11 contains a new feature: Use FrontendForms inside CKEditor fields This new feature allows you to load forms inside CKEditor fields via the usage of placeholders. It supports the loading of the same form multiple times in one or more fields. Short description: Use placeholders like {{myform}} inside your CKEditor field. The placeholders will be replaced with forms during the page render process on the frontend. A more detailed description about how it works and containing a code example can be found inside the docs. This is a brandnew addition, so test it carefully before using it on live sites. Jürgen

I would like to see SEO support integrated into PW by default. I know that there is the SEO Maestro module, which is fabulous, but I think every CMS should have a good SEO support by default. So it would be great if a new tab will be added to the pages like this: In addition to this, there should be a new property inside the configuration file to disable/enable the tab globally in the way like this. $config->seo = false; // or true And in the settings of the page, there could be a checkbox to enable/disable the SEO tab per page. The content of the SEO tab could be as it is in the SEO Maestro module.

Hello @dotnetic Version 2.2.10 contains your feature request. Read more about it in the changelog.md. Jürgen

Hello @dotnetic It is possible to store the file everywhere as long as the permission for this directory allows it. I can add the possibility to choose a custom directory, lets say a text input where you can add the path to your prefered directory. As the default directory path 'site/assets/files/FrontendForms/frameworks' will be set and you can overwrite it with your path. I'll inform you, if the update is ready ?

Hello @dotnetic Could you please update FF to 2.2.9. The bug should be gone now. Best regards Jürgen

Hello @dotnetic This is weired, because I do not have changed something like that ?. I will check this and try to add a fix today. Thanks for reporting this issue. Jürgen

Hello @marie.mdna I hope I have fixed the problem now ?. For testing purposes I have added the profile form inside segment 2 so it was reachable under /profile/segment1/segment2. After form submission it redirects successfully to the same url (on success and error) - so everthing works fine. I have tested it on a single and a multi-language site and with/without Ajax. On my local installation it works as expected. So please update FrontendForms to 2.2.8 and FrontendLoginRegister to 1.3.4 and let me know if it works for you now. Best regards
