eForm
eForm 1.4.3
This version is a bug fix release only. No new functionality was added. Two bugs were discovered which showed up when using multiple forms on the same page.
- FIXED: When using multiple forms on a page all forms are parsed and validated even when only one form is submitted.
- FIXED: fields array values were not cleared between forms (resulting in setting validation messages in all forms when any of the forms form doesn't validate)
- FIXED: typo in line 78 - thanks to pixelchutes
- Some other issues introduced in this version have also been addressed
Works with MODx Version(s): 0.9.5

the message. Add [-ef_wrapper-] to this variable where you want the messages to appear - New: You can now place the anywhere in your document (outside the form template)

- New: Extra event parameter &eFormOnValidate (triggered after eForm validation has occurred)
