Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a way to change/hide the FormID. When a user is on a form page, it displays the formID in the browser address bar

eg: w w w.mywebsite.com/index.php/component/rsform/?formId=2

It doesn't take much for a user to change the last character to the next sequential number and start looking at all your forms, even forms that require previous forms to be filled in before being available can be accessed, and it even displays disabled forms :(

Is there a way to hide this id from the browser?? or a way we can change the id of our forms in the form manager to something less likely someone can guess, like formId=9843832 ??

anyway, any info would help...

thanks,
Dan.

Two ways I can think of are:

- manually creating a modrewrite in your htaccess file
- creating a custom redirect in sh404SEF (may be easier for you as its all inside the Joomla admin.)

I know thats not as thorough or detailed an explaination as may be needed - if I have time to elaborate later I will do so!
