Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Back again Naval, thanks for the reply to my last post, sorry i didn't respond.

ABVFP
I'm testing the forms i've made using the ABVFP on my site
www.swiftsaleproperty.com

Its going ok, apart from when i fill in the form on the home page of my published site and hit submit.
I go to check if the form data arrives in the email account i have set up for it, which it does.

However, what also arrives in my BV email account is the autreponder message that is supposed to go to the visitors inbox. I know it doesn't go there because i used one of my other personal email accounts when i filled the form in, and nothing has arrived there.
My BV email receives 2 emails when you hit submit.

Do you know why this might be happening?

In case you go to my site to check what is going on, i am only working on the form on the index page until i get it fixed, and will do the other forms when i know the index page form works.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Rez

Also, where can i find the database that is automatically created when the first form submission is made?

Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Rez, to see the database go to your control panel into phpmyadmin

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Your visitors Email field must be "Email-Re" and not "Email-ERG"

When ABVFP doesn't recognize the visitors email (due to the wrong naming of the field) it sets the visitors email address to be the same as the Administrators one, that is why you get the autoresponder in your own email address.

This is done (setting the email address to be the same as yours) for deliverability purposes (no email address would result in the mail being blocked by most ISPs).

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Hi again,

I'm creating a small form my visitors must fill in to receive a free PDF download,
How can i make it so that upon hitting the submit button, the PDF will be sent to their inbox?

Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

You can't. What you CAN do is:

1. Include the link to download the document in the "thank you" page that users see after the submission

OR,

2. if you don't want to make this link publically available on the website, you can include the link in the autoresponder email.

2.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Cheers Naval,

If i provide no navigation to the thank you page other than filling out the form, then it should be fairly difficult for the public to see shouldn't it?

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Yes, but then the users would have no means to continue surfing your site.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Good point. I could set it so that the download page opens in a new window, thus leaving my site open to be browsed...?

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Yes,
in the form action, after the URL add the target:http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/dbts_abvfp.php" target="_blank

Add, in the thank you page, a "Close Window" button.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Sorry Naval, before I do that, can you help me out, i'm a bit stuck...

When you click "Download Free Report" on my index page, it links to the "Free Report" page ok, but when you submit the new form it goes to an error page, any idea why? I've checked everything i can think of...

Thanks

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Your error page seems not built properly, so no error message appears. So i can't say what might be wrong. Did you add the necessary code in the Start of Page of the error page ??
