Update not updating

I have created a form using CSS Form Builder, have added the Data Assist Update Behaviour and then inserted the form into a page using Framework.

The update behaviour has been amended to redirect to a different page depending on the selections made - this works well.

The update is made using a session variable which I have also printed to the page to ensure that it is being passed to the page - it is!

So why wont it work?

Any help appreciated

the action of the form needs to be changed to use the name of the parent page it has been added to using the framwork.

for instance, if the page the framework was applied to is named mypage.php, the forms action needs to post to mypage.php:
<form class="IntelligentUtilities_Default" id="WoM_IntelligentUtilities_Default" name="WoM_IntelligentUtilities_Default" method="post" action="mypage.php">

Hi Jason

Is there a way of adding some dynamic code to automatically assign the form action to the name of the parent page?

No, you will need to edit the action manually.

Ah, is that what the new update does for you.....

action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>"

yes, <?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?> should do the trick

This was the form action code written by the new DA version that was released.

Unfortunately the form does not submit any data.

It is a plugin using frame builder in a page called index.php?survey=dual_membership

When a form is submitted, no data is sent, and you are directed back to the same page minus the dynamic url instead of ../thankyou.php, the form action is actually /admin/survey/index.php

If I set the form action to /admin/survey/index.php?survey=dual_membership the data sends with no problem and the redirect works as expected.
