[TYPO3-english] Powermail problem - session problem?

[Brian Bendtsen]

Hi

I have a site that runs TYPO3 4.5.12 and powermail 1.6.3. I have a lot
of powermail forms on the site. The problem is that when I send data
using one form the email/database entry looks fine, but sending another
form afterwards the fields form prior form is appended to the
email/database entry in this form.

It has something to do with session data. I have tried deleting session
cookies after sending form one and then the second email/database entry
looks fine.

Any advice?

A well-known probelm without a real solution...

Just some ideas:

Did you try
plugin.powermail.clear.session = 1
(doesn't really reset all forms on all sites)

With FE-User Management:
Shorten the Session settings in the install tool?

On pages with form insert an additional TS Snippet:
page.headerData.10 = TEXT
page.headerData.10.value = <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

Or via "edit page": -> Behaviour ->Caching: Cache Life Time -> disable

Sometimes it is also the setting of the browser itself (automatic
prefill, e.g.)

Easy way: include a Reset-button in each form

Good luck!

Hi

The ts setting plugin.powermail.clear.session is set to 1 and I know,
without this, the forms will display previously entered information.
That is not the problem I'm refering to.

The problem is related to the data actually being sent and shown in the
email and stored in the database.

An example from the "All values" field of a powermail, lets name it Y:

<piVars>
<uid2359>Some data</uid2359>
<uid2360>Some data</uid2360>
<uid2361>Some data</uid2361>
<uid2362>Some data</uid2362>
<uid2363 type="array">
<numIndex index="0"></numIndex>
<numIndex index="1"></numIndex>
<numIndex index="2"></numIndex>
<numIndex index="3">Some data</numIndex>
<numIndex index="4">Some data</numIndex>
</uid2363>
<uid2751 type="array">
<numIndex index="0"></numIndex>
<numIndex index="1">Some data</numIndex>
<numIndex index="2">Some data</numIndex>
</uid2751>
<uid2945>Some data</uid2945>
<uid2949>Some data</uid2949>
<uid2950></uid2950>
<uid2946>Some data</uid2946>
<uid2947></uid2947>
<uid3003>Some data</uid3003>
<uid3005>Some data</uid3005>
</piVars>

Fields uid2359 to uid2751 is not actually part of powermail Y, its part
of powermail X, that was submitted before Y.

Seems to me that this is part of configuration work:****

Adding form one, send it, rename it, add a new one, etc?****

Clear the Browser Sessions and try again****

Hi Michael

A bit confused about your post. Are you refering to a conversion you
have had with Alex Kellner or the manual? Would be nice to see the whole
answer if available

Hi,

I have the same problem here in version 1.6.8, it seems to be a bug,
because it works fine in version 1.6.4.
