Form Maker Pro - how to get form into existing webpage?

DerekBoughton · #1 10-09-2009, 11:24 AM

My Domain name is www.Weig***ontrolMethod.com

I have created several webpages with BlueVoda (great tool).
I have used Form Maker Pro to create a form with email templates etc.
I now have the form but I want to insert it in to an existing BlueVoda webpage not use it as an independent form page.
The Form Maker Pro blurb says this can be done but I cannot find instructions anywhere.
Please can you help.
Thanks

Create a form on a single page & publish, & then use an iframe on your BV page to display the form. Sample page on this site.

Thanks Chris - that certainly gets the Form onto a webpage.
Unfortunately, I am now getting a server error (see below) are you able to see what the problem is in the server error log?
There is also a bug in the Form Maker Pro S/W where it insists on getting an email address in the Form even when it hasn't been marked as *required. Do you know where I can report this?
Thanks
Derek

In FMP admin area there should be some links to your form & thank you page. Have a check that these links are working first with the form showing up ok & the thank you page coming up after you sent the form. Otherwise it might need a support ticket for a server problem.

Thanks Chris. The form shows up on the web page and accepts data. I stated 'no thankyou page' but a redirection instead to http://www.weig***ontrolmethod.com/bookinfo.html which exists in the directory. However this page does not come up after I send the form - the error message appears on the same wepage where the iframe was. Should I send a support ticket?
Thanks
Derek

Thanks Chris,
The Form is certainly showing up OK but when I complete and send it the error message appears where the iframe was.
I defined 'no thankyou page' but requested a redirect to http://www.weig***ontrolmethod.com/bookinfo.html which is definitely in my directory. It does not redirect to this page but stays where it was.
Should I complete a support ticket?
Thanks
Derek

your url is getting blocked by the forum's word blocker.

DerekBoughton · #8 10-13-2009, 07:16 AM

Hi Chris,
The URL is Weig***ontrolMethod dot com and the redirect page is bookinfo.html
Thanks
Derek

Wow Chris, that didn't work either so here goes again -

Cant seem to find any forms on your site using FMP. ????

DerekBoughton · #11 10-14-2009, 08:21 AM

Hi Chris, The Form is in Tellfriends_DetailsforExtraFreebie.html. and I am accessing this through an IFrame (as you recommended) on detailsforextrafreebie.html
Thanks
Derek
By the way, I sent a ticket to FMP about the bug in their S/W re insisting on requiring email addresses to be entered even though they may not be marked as 'required'. After telling me I had to get this support from BlueVoda, they eventually acknowledged the bug and said that the BlueVoda FMP S/W is an old version.
They sent this fix (I have yet to work out how to get this into the code and create a new HTML page to FTP to my website!).

Replace in your form code line
function isEmail(string) { return (string.search(/^\w+((-\w+)|(\.\w+))*\@[A-Za-z0-9]+((\.|-)[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$/) != -1); }
with
function isEmail(string) { return (string.search(/^\w+((-\w+)|(\.\w+))*\@[A-Za-z0-9]+((\.|-)[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$/) != -1)||(string==''); }

Hi Chris
Just checking if you are still around and if you have seen my post above.

Just in case - the answer to your question about not being able to see any forms using FMP is -

The Form is in Tellfriends_DetailsforExtraFreebie.html. and I am accessing this through an IFrame (as you recommended) on the page named detailsforextrafreebie.html

Thanks for your assistance
Derek

Not to sure about the code on this script. But it seems like you need to go into your cpanel & find the "Tellfriends_DetailsforExtraFreebie.html" file & use the c-panels edit facility & change the part of the code as instructed from FMP.

DerekBoughton · #14 10-19-2009, 01:21 PM

Thanks Chris - I have tried that already.
The new code cleared up the bug (did not insist on inputting all email addresses even those that were not defined as required) but the server error was just the same.
Time to send a ticket to BlueVoda?
Regards, Derek
