Help With Form Maker Pro

[golfnut]

Hi There, completley new to this,
I have designed a site www.golfforeu.com using BV.
Downloaded and Installed FMP - No Probs.
Created A Form Ref: www.golfforeu.com/quote_quoteform.html

My question is, can i get an image i.e. my company logo to appear at the top of the form? I cant see any obvious way in FMP.

any help appreciated.

Regards,
Golfnut.

Hi, i found it easer to use FMP in iframes. Then you got the rest of the BV page to play with. Heres a couple of samples. Fill them out if you want?

http://www.collectors-info.com/contact_us.php

http://www.collectors-info.com/articles_form.php

Just pop the url that FMP give you as the iframes opening page & build a thank you page that will pop up in the fame automatically after. With the thank you page, pop everthing in the top left corner & dont center the page.
Good luck.

Or simply view the code of the form from the page created by FMP and copy / paste it in a html box in your BV page.

Just to let you know I downloaded ABVFP and found this to be perfect for the job, it allows you far more flexibilitythan FMP (which works fine also but a little constrained in the layout flexability etc...). Thanks Navaldesign for a wonderful product.

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

FMP Was extracted and sent to my public_html/fmp

But when I tried to install as shown here: http://martech-inc.biz/fmp/install.php I got a 404 page.

I made sure that the fmp permissions were set to 755 as I have seen in many posts to make sure of.

I used FTP from Blue Voda but it does not seem to have uploaded the fmp file to the cPanel....

Any suggestions or helps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

Do NOT use Blue FTP. It misses files when uploading entire folders.

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

Yea I had the same problem, Naval is right Blue FTP does not transfer files properly within folders, I got around it by physically checking down through all the folders and making sure the files that were left out were transfered again into the proper folders. Takes time, but its the only way I could get it to work.

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

I had to manually install all the files into the cPanel. Yes I verified that all files were in their respective folders.....

When I went to install at http://Martech-Inc.biz/fmp/install.php
I got the System Installation page at: http://www.martech-inc.biz/fmp/install.php?install

When I filled in all the information at the above link I got an error code saying Could Not Connect to MySQL Server ???????

Information inserted is as follows....

Username
Email
Password
Confirm Password

mySQL Host is this where I put LocalHost?????
My Login


Lost at the installation page !!!!

[golfnut]

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

mySQL Host is definatley LocalHost
I did this but half forget how i did the rest, there is a post in the FMP thread in the fors section of this forum, in there all this is explained.
sorry i cant remember more and dont want to lead you astray

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

Suddenly remembered, here is what I put in

localhost
username which is your cpanel username
password which is your cpanel password
database name which will be cpanel username_databasename which you created.

Golfnut:

Thank you....
I did as you stated was able to get to the next page, but the program will not permit me to go any further. It sent me a 500 error page back....... The Username and Passwords were correctly used...... both from cPanel login as well as my own which was selected when asked for username at the first form....

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Re: Help With Form Maker Pro

if you are sure that all the files are transferred ok then try and install FMP again by running install.php
If Naval is around he may be able to help you out.
