Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

You have to create de ABVFP database, it is not there.
Go to the Database Wizard the 1 step says New Database: you type ABVFP
Then go to the next step and it is going to ask you to create a Username and a Password
that is it!!!

Ahhh. Of cours i'm the one to bungle this one up. i did everything you said to do Naval and when I typed in my domain etc, i get this.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /ABVFP/dbts_install.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please check permissions of the folder (should be 755) and permissions of the file dbts_install.php (should be 644)

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

I have created a form and followed the instructions to set this up. It all works OK with one EXCEPTION.

the reply e-mail sent to the person filling out the form is getting blocked by Comcast. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so how do you resolve this?

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Yes, this is a well known issue with comcast. Are you using ABVFP to proccess the form ?
Is your email address (used in the form) within your own domain or not ?

A link to the form please ?

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Apologies for the late response to this. In the message i received from comcast was a link and some instructions. I followed the instructions in the message and requested that they unblock the source which i am pleased to say they did.

I am getting an error message though stating that there is no recipient address which i dont understand because i am getting the e-mail sent & received with a return confirmation...any suggestions?

here is the link to the form:

http://www.fit2000usa.com/dbts_logger/menu4.php

you do have user name and password to my site already... :)

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Usually email errors report also the mail itself. Check if this error regards the main mail or the autoresponder one.
From what you say (you receive the mail) i would say that the main mail is ok, so probably the error regards the autoresponder mail In that case, probably, the problem is how you have named your email field in the form. ABVFP needs this field named Email-e or Email-eR (if required). If it is named anything else, the info is sent to you but the autoresponder mail fails because ABVFP can not recognize the visitors email address, thus the error.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Is it possible to configure an ABVFP Radio button to (upon its selection) direct someone to a specific web page when the form's Submit button is clicked please? If so what is the procedure for doing it?

Thanks

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

ABVFP will direct the user to the predefined (through the ABVFP control panel) page. If i understand well, you want to be able to redirect instead to another page (or pages) depending on whether the user has checked or not specific radio buttons, which is not possible with the script as it is.

Re: Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

In the tutorial, there is a full description on implementing the captcha in your forms (last page). You only need to insert (in your forms) a html box, and insert the necessary code. You also need to place a text field, named "captcha_code" for the visitor to type the code he sees.

Using the captcha with ABVFP is very simple: place a html object in your page, and make it 100 px wide X 38 px high. These are the dimensions of the image. Paste the following code in it:
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/captcha.php" alt="Click for new image" title="Click for new image" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="this.src='http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/captcha.php?'+Math.random()">


If you wish, you can also copy / paste the html box and the field from the contactform included in the zip, and paste it in your own page. You need however, to double click it and edit the path (your domain name)
