Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

BV 11 is still beta and has issues, that's why it won't open (sometimes) pages created with BV 10.

Anyway, to create the error page from scratch, please use the instructions in the ABVFP manual. Posting them again here is meaningless, as it it mush moredetailed (and with images) in the manual.

I copy in directory file I created http://www.modelszoo.com/ABVFP and renamed file http://www.modelszoo.com/ABVFP/errorpage_eva.php ,you can look what I did.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

1. Create your form, as you like it. The only requirement if you want to use ABVFP is to name the fields according to the ABVFP field name extension system, in order to take advantage of ABVFP's validation. You should also add the necessary hidden field, if you already know what the form ID will be. See manual for instructions.
2. Go in your ABVFP control panel and setup the form. IF, by anycase, the FormID that ABVFP displays is different from the one you added in the form as hidden field, after you are done here, edit the form hidden field and publish again.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

It makes total sense, like always :)

Now a question about the processor if you don't mind

Should I build my form in my website first and then do the necessary things in the processor, then upload my website to the server or what's the steps to take?

Thanks again.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

No, validation is the process of examining each field to see if the content complies with what it is expected to be. An email field content is checked to see if it has a valid email address format, a numeric field is checked to see if the content is a number and so on.

So in example, if you disallow links (http://www......) ina comments area, the spammer can't post there a series of links (as they usually do)

The captcha instead is a method to distinguish humans from machines (bots) that can fill in your form automatically and send you spam.

A secure form requires combination of many features. Captcha, Javascript (or Ajax) validation, PHP validation, etc.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

YES,

I can't believe I didn't think of that, thank you so much, you're absolutely right.

-----

Now, just knowledge question:

I know Captcha stops the Auto fillers etc from submitting the forms automatically.

the main thing that prevents hackers and spammers from playing up with the forms, is it the Validation?

Thanks again

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

1. If a whatever user (hacker or not) has Javascript disabled in his computer, the Ajax validation (which is based on Javascript for the HTTPRequest) will fail.

So, a spammer will be able to send you tons of spam. That's why i suggested using BOTH validation systems.

2- To use the php validation as built in in ABVFP, you need to create the error page AND correctly name the fields according to the ABVFP validation system (see ABVFP Manual)

3. As said: with Javascript disbled, this validation is disabled. Please note that MANY people (not only spammers and hackers, but normal users as well) have Javascript disabled.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Hi Naval,

1. Thanks for the response, you mean overiden by hacked/spammed?
2. And to use the PHP validation, I will have to create the error page right?
3. But the AJAX of DW doesn't allow the form to submit unless all Fields are valid, and the control of contents written in the field and value is as controlled as your processor - unless if question "1" occurs to be positive.

What you think?

Thanks again

[navaldesign]

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

1.No oblem at all.
2. Ajax validation is based on a Javascript so it can be overiden. So i suggest that you use both the Ajax validation of DW AND the php validation system of ABVFP

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

Hi Naval,

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 to build my websites. I have a question if you don't mind.

1. In Dreamweaver now, there is a built in AJAX library which contains form validation. Using AJAX to validate form and combining your form processor wouldn't hurt right?

2. If Dreamweaver provides me with AJAX validation (I use it because it shows errors on the spot and uses a great JavaScript effects to do that which I like). So in this case, if I skip the validation steps in your processor, would everything works just fine?

Thanks in Advance

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

I have installed ABVFP at www.emeter.uk.com/ABVFP/ What seems to be the problem - it only shows the index of all the files in the folder. Please help!

In the zip you have downloaded, there is an "index" page, which you obviously didn't upload.

Upload it in the ABVFP folder so that the script can work properly.

However you have missed other files too, like dbts_ABVFP_admin2.php, dbts_ABVFP_loggin, and probably others (I didn't check further)

Make sure all files are uploaded or the script won't work.
