Serverside validation reloads the wrong page

My registration page is: /index.php?Itemid=242&option=com_comprofiler&task=registers

When the serverside validation finds something wrong and reloads the page, this comes up: /index.php?Itemid=242&option=com_comprofiler
Why is the &task=registers missing? That messes up the sh404SEF because it thinks it is a different page. Can this please get fixed soon? Thanks

I just realised that the link in the form action is wrong:

<form action="http://localhost/demo/register.html

Why does CB insert the SEF link instead of the raw link? It should be:

<form action="http://localhost/demo/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers&Itemid=242&lang=en

That way no SEF component would mess up the form. Can that be fixed? Thanks

There is yet another flaw in th system: When the serverside validation finds something wrong and reloads the page, the task changes from "task-registers" to "task-saveregisters". What the heck is going on here???

Validation errors aren't a redirect. It just redisplays the registration if save registration fails. This allows POST fall through so the fields the user already completed will stay completed (excluding a few security related ones like password).

If it redirects you lose the POST unless it's passed through the session, which is not a good idea to pass possibly upwards of 100 fields (or more) through a users session. The alternative is tacking all those onto the URL so they're sent as GET, which is impossible to do as GET has a length limit so fields would get cut off.

In short you need to SEF "registers" and "saveregisters" as needed. When sh404SEF creates the rewrite rule just change what it rewrites to to whatever you want.

Note this will change in the future once frontend is XML driven like backend is in CB 2.0. This is planned for CB 2.1, but no guarantee.
