Thread: ABVFP Database question...

I have added a folder in my pub html named ABVFP and copied the files to that folder.

Next step is unclear to a rookie (me)

The ABVFP tutorial says create a database in your Cp. and create a user. What does this mean? How do I do it?

Thanks so much! I am new to ABVFP.

Thanks

Depending on the server, the CP skin might be a little different, but it won't be hard to find your way.

Hi Naval,

What does it mean by placing a hidden field in my form with Formid2?

What is a hidden field in a form.

I am a BV user

Each form can contain hidden fields. These are field that do NOT appear in the form and are used to pass to the processing script certain values.

To add a hidden field, souble click the form (in BV). Go down, in the Hidden fields window, click on Add, give it a name (as you would do for a normal field) and a value.

In the ABVFP case, Formid is the field name, the value should be the number you get from the ABVFP control panel.

Ok, I feel silly....that was too easy. Never looked at that box in BV before.

Thanks Naval...Genius!

Another question Naval,

Will ABVFP work with a Sub Domain? Example, Formid3 is a form at www.store1.mydomain.com?

Do I just simply direct the ABVFP to that form? and look under php admin for Formid3?
