VodaHost makes the difference!
Forms have always been a difficult field for many BlueVoda users. Specially when it comes to having required fields, validation, security, multi file uploads, and multiple choice listboxes.
Well, from today, VodaHost supplies you the tool to process your forms easily, and in security.
All posts before January 26 2007 regard the old version, so please DO NOT look for solutions in these posts. The ABVFP v2.0 is almost totaly new.
Here are the features of the new software available from today:
(in blue colour the features of the new, ABVFP v2.0, available since Friday January 26, 2007)- Required fields checking.
- Validation of the fields (email, numeric field, field length, allowing or not @ symbol to be included)
- Multifile upload, with max size specified by the user.
- Attachments: you will receive the uploaded files directly on your desktop with the email that you will receive.
- Multiple owner email addresses: the script will now send multiple emails, to the specified owner email addresses. The first one, will be used as the "reply to" address for the autoresponder message.
- Option to have your email address included or not in the autoresponder message.
- Multiple choice field processing.
- Customizable mail subject.
- Customizable multiline email header and footer. Improved text formatting.
- Autoresponder with customizable header, footer, subject and "From:" field. Improved text formatting.
- Built in security measures against automatic bot submission and / or mass spam submission using your script.
- Single "action" file for all your forms. It will process ALL your forms.
- User friendly interface that will allow you to setup the processing script by just typing in your site info. No hand coding required.
- Username and password feature for the script administration page: no one else but you will ever be able to login.
- FULL error reporting page: it will notify the visitor of all the errors encountered in filling in the form.
- Thankyou page to let the visitor know that his submission has been successfull and allow him to go on surfing your site.
- User defined URLs for the Errorpage and the thankyou page
- User defined folder for the uploaded files (inside the same folder where ABVFP is installed)
- You can now save your project in the database. If you need to change the settings for a form, you can do it just editing what needs to be edited. You don't need to type everything from scratch.
- Database storing of the form submitted info: the script will AUTO CREATE the necessary database table, and store the info in it.
- Installation wizard, that makes software installation as simple as possible. Create a database and a database user, upload the files, provide your details, and the script will be automatically installed.
- Popup Help windows to guide you through the installation and the setting up of the forms.
- Support for multiple forms per page. The old version could only process one form per page.
- Support also for non VH users: since the script is a collection of html and php files, you can simply upload it on your server and it will work.
Extras: Downloadable Word file with the tutorial, for offline work. Full instructions on how to upload the software on your site, how to install and use it, how to customize or create your own Thankyou page and Error page.
