Hi there,

I’ve read all the other tickets, but couldn’t find a solution.

I’m using CSM v2.4.2 on a Zoo Visitor registration form - with a valid return path - and the validation is working beautifully, except when the form submission succeeds.

In that case, I get this error: “The response was not a valid JSON object.”

My CSM settings are:

Enable ajax responses? - YES.
Bypass the message template entirely? - YES.
Redirect to the defined error template? - YES.
Accessibility. - NO CHANGE.

I’ve also tried to set json=“yes” on the ZV form, but then CSM is bypassed completely.

This is the form from my template: http://pastie.org/4895744

Can you please help?

Look at the Network tab in your console, what is the response content? e.g. https://skitch.com/litzinger/esk5t/boldminded

My guess is Zoo Visitor is immediately doing a redirect after the submission, which is not a valid JSON response, hence the error you’re getting. Try setting the message_on_success parameter to no, e.g. 

{exp:system_messages:form message_on_success="no"}

Thanks for your help!

I set the parameter to “no”, but the error prevails.

I’m not sure what to look for in the inspector, but I get a warning in the console:

The page at https://mysite.com/register ran insecure content from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js.

I just noticed that the form is submitted, although the redirect doesn’t take place. When I refresh the page directly after form submission, the data is entered correctly and the user logged in.

OK, at least I figured out why the the warning occured. Unfortunately it wasn’t related to out problem here. 😛

BTW, the issue doesn’t occur with ZV forms only. I just tested it on a native Safecracker form and it’s the same there.

Can you share the URL so I can see the forms in action? You can edit this ticket and save it to the details, then only I’ll see it.

Man, I updated the ticket, but no changes have been saved. Happened more than once, while editing in general. :(

Uppps, they WERE saved! 😉

I have to send you the URL in question plus .htaccess credentials. Shall I do so via email?

I see the credentials in the ticket, did you not see them when editing?

No no, I was just confused… it happens! 😉

So, any new insights? I’m waiting desperately.

OK, never mind, I’ve just set up some redirects to custom templates, which is already awesome enough! 😉

Thank you.
