EricPSF · #91 01-23-2008, 11:46 PM

Hi George,

I have managed to create a link in the forum by linking it as http://domainname.com/TAF.html. But do you hv any ideas in as how to set the width=310 and height=170 of the window??

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Eric

That is what i meant, you can't use the Javascript because the forum script strips it off. It works as entire page because there is no Javascript in a simple link.

Hi Naval,

Good Day.

I am using your form already for "Tell a Friend", however, when i tested &/or "submit" it, it doesn't show me the thank you message. I also try testing to input an error email address but it doest return me with my Error Link Messages. I followed exactly your procedure stated above however i am affraid i missed one. I already uploaded TAF in my control panel & edited some of the portion like names of link. Here's the TAF format i copied from my control panel:

If you read the very first post in this thread, you will see that it does contain step by step instructions

hi Navaldesign
thanks for the script....works a treat!!!! :)

sbrown1211 · #99 04-22-2008, 08:45 PM

What exactly is TAF used for? To notify people when your site is debuting? Thanks,
Sandi

navaldesign · #**100** 04-22-2008, 08:52 PM

To let spread the word about your website. An easy way to let more people know about your site.

sbrown1211 · #**101** 04-23-2008, 02:53 AM

Is there any way I can share my work so far with my sister in another state? I've tried copying the pages and emailing them to her but she can't open them. She was going to help me with the design and give suggestions. Does she have to download Blue Voda and if she does, can she then access my work so far? Thanks for your help,
Sandi

Yes, she can download BV and then she will be able to open the pages. She might have to re-establish the path to the images.

Please open new threads about your issues, this thread (as any other existing) is for a a different subject.

sbrown1211 · #**103** 04-23-2008, 03:04 PM

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to open a new thread.

sedona · #**104** 04-23-2008, 04:01 PM

Find the proper category for your question. At the top left you will see the new thread button.

If you are in the right category however if you look through the posts already there before posting you may well find the answer you seek.

The script works great!

However I cannot open up the ATF.PHP form page in BV, I had to upload itthrough FTP. The questio I have is when somebody puts in there name email and then there friends name and e-mail, how do I get that info? The whole pupose of haveing a form like that is to see who is submitting leads and captureing prospects? I would assume an email address needs to be put in the PHP page somewhere, and I do I do it?

I tested the form and it did send the email to the friends email adress, but where do I as the web designer get that info sent to me?

The TAF script is NOT for you to collect email addresses, it is for site visitors to let some of their friends know about your website. So it only sends the email to the "friend".

Also, the TAF.php file is NOT intended for opening in BV (read the instructions) but only for uploading to the site. It is the php script that processes the mail request

Thank you,

By the way this script is Awsome!!!

Grumpy68 · #**108** 05-01-2008, 07:44 PM

Hi all,

I must be dumb. I downloaded The TAF file and found it in my computer. Now I go and try and open them in BV and all I get is a blank page with that box asking to open in new window or existing page, I can't figure out what to do am I missing something. I have spent the last 2 days trying this and I can not get anywhere.
Please can someone help. I'm missing something, I just know it.

Best Regards

Chuck

navaldesign · #**109** 05-01-2008, 08:26 PM

Only open the pages with the .bvp extension. The others, which are php need to be uploaded on the site. Please follow the instructions included in the Word Tutorial included in the zip.
