Thread: ABVFP challenge

Hi guys, I have a question relating to a form I have built with ABVFP. I need people to be able to complete the form (a questionaire) on a particular page. They then click 'continue', which takes them to another page where they complete their contact details on another form. However, this is part of the first form and when they click 'submit request' I need all details both from the questionaire part & the contact information part emailed as one email. Does this make sense? And most of all, is this possible to do?
Many thanks for your help.

Rob A.

PS sorry, at this stage I cannot show you the actual webpage that the form is on.

Very easy. Please have a look at Multipage Form Tutorial

Hi from South Africa ! Thanks for the great ABVFP download. I have done everything you have instructed but my captcha does not work. I can submit without filling in the captcha characters. Would you mingd having a look for me. The page is as follows - www.eishsa.info/addsiteform.html

Thanks and take care !

Hi, this happens because your form is NOT processed by ABVFP, in fact, the form action is set to "action.php"

Thanks Navaldesign, I will experiment with this and try to get it working.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Navaldesign

I'll make the changes.

Hi Navaldesign

I have changed my form action to dbts_abvfp.php and when I "submit" I get the "webpage cannot be found" message.

Thanks

If you have installed ABVFP in a folder of its own, called "ABVFP" as per instructions, your action must be set to be " http://www.domain.com/ABVFP/dbts_abvfp.php " . Please look at the tutorial that is included in the ABVFP zip, section "How to use ABVFP" and "Setting up your form correctly" sections of the instructions.

Hi Navaldesign

Must apologise for wasting your time earlier, I missed a few things in the instructions. OK I have set up everything in my form as per your "contact form" and I've printed out and stuck to your instruction manual. I'm getting your error page. Would you mind having a look for me.

Thanks once again for your effort !!

Andre

To start with, the hidden field name is "Formid " . You have a white space at the end. Remove it and republish, then refresh your browser before testing. If further issues are encountered, post again.

Hi

OK things are looking up!! The form works fine (well spotted on the Formid error) If I leave all my fields blank I get the error page which is good. If I fill in all the fields correctly and submit I get webpage cannot be found. Any advice?

Andre

You have probably mistaken the thankyou page URL in your ABVFP control panel. You should be receiving the mail though, do you ?

Further more, the error page doesn't report the error (it SHOULD) so i suppose you missed the code in your error page start of page.

Yes I get the mail. I'm still going to set up the error page. I will check out my control panel.

Thanks

OK all is working fine - thanks to you and for a great program !! The only problem I have is that I'm not getting the conformation email. Any advice ?

Andre

Good Morning Navaldesign

When I fill in the form myself all goes well but I don't get the conformation email. Do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks
Andre

Unless you have mistaken the email address in the ABVFP control panel, the only other explanation would be that your ISP is blocking the mail.

I suggest using a email address within your own domain and checking straight in your webmail to see if emails arrive there.

Hi there Navaldesign

Would you mind checking out my "Auto Responder" settings for me as a friend of mine added his site and did not get his "Auto Responder" email. Thanks

Amdre

I tested your form, and i did receive the autoresponder mail, so i can only suppose that in your friends case the mail was either blocked by his ISP or by his own email client.

I have installed ABVFP in a folder of its own, called "ABVFP" as per instructions, and I have set my action to " http://www.domain.com/ABVFP/dbts_abvfp.php " but I can't see the error page when I'm not completed the form,Additionally this error msg is shown
''Not Found

The requested URL /ABVFP/dtbs_abvfp.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

A link to the form please ?

http://www.faithfullart.com/ABVFP/dbts_abvfp.php

A link to the FORM please.

I'm sorry,I'm not quite good in making forms, so where to insert that link? in my ABVFP control panel,in BV form or where and what that link look like tell me like this ''open blue voda -sign_up.html-right click-click properties and so on''

How you doing ?

Can I use ABVFP on a php website that is not hosted with Blue Voda?

Yes, you can use ABVFP on a non VH site as long as it meets the necessary requirements (PHP 4.3 or higher, MySQL 1 or higher, SAFE_MODE Off)
