    Re: How to Edit a Form

    Because you have named your form "email form"

    Remove the whitespace from the name, make it "emailform" or "email_form" and it will work.

      Re: How to Edit a Form

      Hi.

      I have used the form manager to make a simple form and used the PHP option in the manager. It works perfectly and the info is sent to my designated email address.

      I do have a problem though that in the fields where information is required, if I don't put any information in, it still accepts the form submission.

      Also, one of the boxes I defined as being number and even indicated how many characters are required. However it accepts any input even letters or it can be left blank and the form can still be sent.

      How can I ensure that the required fields must be completed and that it must also be given the required type of info.

      Thanks

        Please look at post just above: your form name should not contain any white spaces (in example: "contact form" is wrong, "contact_form" is ok.)
        as white spaces break the Javascript built in validation.

          Re: How to Edit a Form

          Hi, it does now ask me for the information, but I still don't seem to be able to handle numbers. I am requesting a phone number in one of the fields. I have set the input at the top to text, but at data type I selected digits and I also selected a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 10 characters. Now when I enter the number, it just gives me the custom error message I created.

          Is there anything I am missing?

          The rest is working great now.

              Not without a link to your page so we can look what might be wrong.

                  Not sure what you mean.

                  The built in form processor doesn't send autoresponder email to the visitor, NOR does it update any database.

                  So please clarify what you mean with your post.

                    Re: How to Edit a Form

                    If I want to updated the Database from the form what is the procedure. I followed the ABVFP instructions on setting up the Database and forms. The internal setting of built in form are:[ Form processing = use built-in PHP;
                    email my email addr., Success URL = /thankyou_page.html Error URL = /errorpage.html, I was under the impression that the new BV would handle the form into ABVFP methodolgy. Had all working before the reorg of website. (I am receiving mail from the contact pages but that is all that is working.) any suggestions on how I can get my sites back to normal?

                    Thanks Navaldesign

                      Re: How to Edit a Form

                      As you are saying yourself, you are using the built in form processor. This processor doesn't have the ability to send autoresponder email or store the data in the database.
                      You need to use ABVFP for this.
                      If ABVFP is already installed and the forms were already setup in ABVFP's control panel, then you simply need to change the forms action and include the necessary "Formid" hidden field.

                      If not, you need to do whatever necessary as per ABVFP Manual.

                      Repeating here the ABVFP instructions, is meaningless. Just open the Manual (Tutorial) folder in the ABVFP zip and read carefully how to set it up and use it.

                          How to set up 'register' and 'log in' forms

                          Hi,
                          was hoping you could help me. I have been using BlueVoda to build a website and it's going well, except that I can't seem to set up 'memebers only' area, using register and log-in forms.
                          This is really important for my site, so any information/help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
                          Thanks!!!

                            Please note that BV11 (which has the login tools) is still BETA so there are no tutorials yet. Further more there are some issues that still need to be fixed before you can use BV11 for production purposes.

                              OK gang. Here's an easy one (I hope). I neglected to add a submit button
                              on my forms. How do I edit the forms to add the button. I have watched the tutorial, but it doesn't cover adding the button.

                                Just add it! Drag the button from the toolbar, set its properties, and you are done. Save and publish the page again.
