This module seems so straightforward and it's exactly what i need, and yet I cannot seem to get it working to save my life.

Using:
Webform: 4.12
WebFormRemote: 1.23

I created a webform, added a remote target, and the form still shows and submits to the page itself. Is there some other setting i am missing?

Thanks in advance!
John

John,

is your request still actual?

The module works perfectly for me. After enabling both module you mentioned and configuring, I see that webform successfully submitted both to Drupal itself and to remote location I selected.

Hi there,

I have the same module setup as John, and can't seem to get this to work either. I'm able to input a Target URL and enable. I can submit the form to the webform module but it doesn't post to the remote location, and I don't see any indication of the remote URL within the code itself. I see the webform_remote_post_targets in the database.

Thank you,
Renee

Renee and John. If the re-post is not successful, a watchdog log will be created. Do you see any entries there for a failed re-post?

I'm having the same issue as others have described. I have webform enabled and webform_remote_post enabled, I can see the tab in Webform to input my remote post settings. I've configured them, and I've even gone so far as to use a local Drupal page with custom PHP to be the remote post target. Nothing seems to be happening when the remote post form is submitted, other than the standard data save to Drupal.

I can't figure out what I need to look at to get this working, but it's a really great item that would be amazingly useful to my development. There are a lot of forms I'd like to be able to create in Drupal, but save the data in a more accessible fashion in another database.

If there is any documentation discussing this in detail I'd be grateful to see it, or maybe an example of implementation. Any ideas on how to diagnose the problem would be awesome as well.

Thanks!

Dave

Dave,

do you see something in Drupal watchdog?

Dennis,

Yes, I see a pair of repeating messages: "The target id to load is new" and "The auto-loaded target is Array ( [label] => Basic Remote Post Test [url] => http://[removed].mri.psu.edu/page_send_mail_test )". The timing of these messages seems to be unrelated to my submission of the Basic Remote Post Test form I created.

I'm not actually trying to do anything with the data in my target page right now. The script at the target just updates a database with a set of hard coded values. When I open the target url directly in a browser the database is updated as expected. But when I use the target as the URL for a Remote Post on another form, I don't see any effect from the script.

I tried running the Basic Remote Post Test form again as I was composing this reply, and I still see no results in the database, and no log messages have been created related to this submission at this time.

Thanks for replying!

Regards,
Dave

I tried a few submissions today and no logs were created, and no remote posting occurred to my knowledge.

I've decided to forego using this module at present, I've been working on an implementation for a week with no results. At this point I think I can use an appropriate hook to do the database insert in a custom module I've already created. Remote posting would be nice but since it's not necessary for this task I'll let it go for now. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
