CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've said up  a contribution page with membership signup (. When I view the live page in the CRM admin area I'm directed to PayPal. When I go to the live page on the front end the form includes a additional membership profile. When I submit the form, the required fields are not verified and I'm not directed to PayPal to pay for the membership. Instead I'm sent to my site's homepage. Also, the information submitted on the form is not being stored in the database. I'm using version 1.9 on Joomla.

Three questions:

1. What do I need to do to get the form to verify that required fields are completed?
2. What do I need to do to get the submitted information stored in the database?
2. What do I need to do to get the submission of the initial form to send the submitter to the contribution page on paypal?

Yes. I made the change to my index.php file. I'm able to access the contribution page from the front end (http://www.iibadc.org/component/option,com_civicrm/Itemid,28/), it's just not going to the next step when I submit the form. I have a profile submission form which works fine (http://www.iibadc.org/component/option,com_civicrm/Itemid,33/) and the contact is added to the database. I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with the way I've configured the contribution form.

This URL:

http://www.iibadc.org/component/option,com_civicrm/task,civicrm/contribute/transact/_qf_Confirm_display,true/qfKey,200eeebe1f48f8d95d68b21df914de8e/

is not a valid civicrm url. I suspect you are using some component/mambot for clean url's. You need to disable that. CiviCRM url's are of the type:

http://www.iibadc.org/?component&option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contribute....
