Guests can't post in topic via form if enable pre-moderation

Hello!

I have a small form for user replies in topic:

<form method="post" action="{config.relative_path}/compose">
<input type="hidden" name="tid" value="3" />
<input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="{config.csrf_token}" />

<input type="text" placeholder="Name" required="true" name="content">
<textarea placeholder="Description" required="true" name="content"></textarea>
<button type="submit" >Send</button></div>
</form>

This form a works for authorized and guest users, but only with disable option postQueue from settings admin/settings/post, when I enable this option a guest users can't posted and get error about too short message with redirect to a /compose page after submit.

How I can fix it?

Is the error messaging coming from the post request to /compose or is it client side?

I'm not sure I understood the question...

The guest fills out the form and clicks the submit button, after that the forum redirects to the "https://myforum.com/compose" page and there he sees an error that he entered too short a message.

If the user is logged in, there are no such errors, and after click the submit button, the forum redirects to the topic page itself with hes post.

Ok so looks like the issue is with your form. You have two content fields, which results in an array being sent to /compose route. You also have an extra closing div there that breaks the layout. Change your form to below and it should work.

<form method="post" action="{config.relative_path}/compose" class="mb-5">
<input type="hidden" name="tid" value="4769" />
<input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="{config.csrf_token}" />
 
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" required="true" name="handle">
<textarea placeholder="Description" required="true" name="content"></textarea>
<button type="submit" >Send</button>
</form>

@baris Thank you, this is worked without error, but the post have value only from Description textarea and don't have a value from Name input...

@brazzerstop I will fix that so it displays the handle in the post queue and after posting.
