Login form creating Google crawl error = impact Google index

[Ruud68]

Hi, been investigating some Google crawl errors and ran into on created on al lot of pages by the templates login form. When I am e.g. on this page: https://www.lerendeleiders.nl/blog-layout/63-Ruud it will put this code in the resulting html file:

<div class="overflow">
                                                    <form action="https://www.lerendeleiders.nl/blog-layout" method="post" id="login-form" class="form-inline">
        <div class="userdata">

the culprit is in the url specified in the form action. As you can see it is truncated to the first directory only. the url specified here throws a 403 thus resulting in a crawl error for Google.

I do not understand what this form action does because when login in on this page it will stay on the correct page and not on the truncated url page.

Hello,

The above code is generated in the mod_login default.php file:

<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php', true, $params->get('usesecure')); ?>" method="post" id="login-form" class="form-inline">

And the code in the action attribute is the same as in the core joomla code, so this issue is not related to our template.
