vm_mynxx registration behavior

    • I bought it, use it, have mixed feelings about it.

      Before I consider dropping another $75 to be told "no, it doesn't do that", I'm going to ask "does it do that?".

      In the online demo you can fill in some of the required fields when registering. Some will pop a JS alert box, some won't. There are various combinations (for example, leave the phone number blank) that will let the form submit. Once submitted, the user is neither registered nor are they notified as to what the error encountered was. Very annoying, especially if your store has not-so-savvy customers.

      This behavior does not happen when you switch to the VM "default" template.

      Please note that I'm not referring to a site I'm working on, but the demo hosted here.

      See attached for an example of the landing page.

      Also, VM is now at 1.1.8, does the mynxx theme need updating to work properly with this version (fixes sql injection issues)?

    • Hello R. Martin,
      First a general remark; the template has not been bought. You have acquired access to the templates and the forums through paying for membership.
      If you would have searched the Mynxx forum; you would have found the answers to the problem you are referring to. That problem is in essence a VM problem because it needs a core hack to function properly. I posted a solution in the Mynxx forum to the issue you report here.

      The Mynxx theme does not need an update to work with VM 1.1.8

      In my best Teal'c impression:

      "Indeed."

      It's an interesting model, but not really geared to one-off projects.

      Regarding VM limitations, I'm becoming more and more aware of that. The form validation issues combined with vm_mynxx prevent a popular Captcha plugin from working. I almost wish no one sold (access) to VM mods, it seems like it just ends up with lots of finger-pointing since the entire combination of modifications is unlikely to play well together. Lesson learned. On to trying to hack a captcha into the VM registration page... Wheeee!

    • A fix to unbreak things that the mynxx ajax cart breaks on the form handling has been committed to svn. It's a one-liner around line 286 in VM 1.1.8:
       
      <       if ($ok == true && empty($error) && !defined('_DONT_VIEW_PAGE') && !strstr($page, 'ajax')) {
      ---
      >       if ($ok == true && empty($error) && !defined('_DONT_VIEW_PAGE') && !strstr($page, 'ajax') && !$ajax_request && !@$_REQUEST['only_page']) {
