....copied files plugin_contactform.tpl plugin_dynamicform.tpl to the bulletproof template folder ...

You copied them from where? Those files were already provided by bulletproof, and have been customized specifically FOR bulletproof.

Is the contactform plugin configured as /index.php?/pages/contactform.html?[/quote]

[msp_erv]

this is what is in the 'permalink' box....

/pages/contactform.html

>You copied them from where?

from the plug in folder.... based on what i found here in the forum for others with simirar problems...

[msp_erv]

just got it to work after amending the field with index?/

http://www.chameleonpaintersmn.com/inde ... tform.html

but no captchas...

??

spam protector is installed and Enable Captchas is Yes
and lastly, we will be using modrewtire to get rid of query string...

how would we access this page with se friendly URL?

many thanks

[Don Chambers]

the index.php? version is for when you are not using URL rewriting.... /pages/contactform.html is the version for when you ARE using rewriting.

You will not see captchas if you are logged into serendipity - only visitors who are not logged in will see them.

You should not have overwritten the tpls from the plugin - bulletproof provided its own versions of those files. The plugin versions will work, but the bulletproof versions look nicer.

allright guys...

i am really not gettin it....

re-enabled mod rewrite....

site links work...


http://www.chameleonpaintersmn.com/inde ... llery.html
no
http://www.chameleonpaintersmn.com/pages/gallery.html
no

same with contact...

http://www.chameleonpaintersmn.com/inde ... tform.html
no

http://www.chameleonpaintersmn.com/page ... tform.html
no

the pages with query for contact and gallery work if modrewrit os off...

????

the htaccess file is there - recently written....

[Don Chambers]

I dunno - I would have to see the configuration. The instructions previously provided should work.

If you do not have rewriting enabled, the contact form should be configured as /index.php?/pages/pagetitle.html

If you do have rewriting, it is:
/pages/pagetitle.html

just had a huge glass of orange juice and a double cafe latte ....

and sat down to look at all of this with brain going full tilt....
