[Plugin: Fast Secure Contact Form] Doesn't work with qTranslate

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town.

This is a qTranslate caused problem, quite possibly a design shortfall in qTranslate.
Let me explain… qTranslate changes the URL to a path that does not actually exist.
It adds a fake folder to the URL such as /fr/ for French. Because this folder does not actually exist, this causes a problem with the server environment variables. The URL is changed by qTranslate to include /fr/, but the server environment variable $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] is not. This is what causes the Form action URL to not work properly after selecting a qTranslate language.

qTranslate is the cause if the problem.
I am not able to troubleshoot qTranslate because I am not familiar with it’s code or it’s inner workings.

I have contacted the qTranslate developer for support. You are welcome to join the conversation at their support forum.

I have posted a requests for help in the qTranslate forum, they have not responded.

Anybody you tried GTranslate?

I use GTranslate at

I have encountered this error today and I have fixed if for my site. It’s a bit of a hack and it might not work for everybody, but there you are:

In /wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php near line 224 you should have

// set the type of request (SSL or not)
if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
    $form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
} else {
    $form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

change it for

// set the type of request (SSL or not)
if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
    $form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
} else {
    $form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
}

I hope it helps

Hi All,

Flavigne and Seezer, I can solve it myself with your instructions. I have a qtranslate installed with two forms. One in Spanish and other in Catalan. I put this code in si-contact-form.php.

if(get_locale() == 'es_ES') {
	if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
		$form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	} else {
		$form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	}
} else {
	if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
		 $form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
	} else {
		 $form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
	}
}

Thanks for all.

Probably something like:

switch ( get_locale() ) {
	case 'AAA':
	case 'BBB':
		if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
			$form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
		} else {
			$form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
		}
		break;
	default:
		if ( getenv('HTTPS') == 'on' ) {
			$form_action_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
		} else {
			$form_action_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
		}
}

Just replace AAA and BBB with the language codes. The third one will be your default language… Didn’t test it though!
I’m still hoping for an internal solution from Mike Challis as I don’t really want to edit the plugin’s code.

@phdsigns
I’m glad that I was able to help you. 🙂

Still waiting for a “official” solution from the plugin developer though…
Maybe you can add something like a compatible mode option?
-> “[x] Make compatible to qTranslate”

@mike Challis
Thank you for looking into this again! Well, you could call it “[x] Make compatible to qTranslate (experimental)“. 😉
