Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor 2

[navaldesign]

Yes, simply change the value in the ABVFP control panel.

Of course, the maximum allowed size is the one set in your server settings. Currently VH has some servers set at 4, some at 8, some at 12 MB. Can't know your server limits.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
How do I check my server settings for limits?
Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

create the following file in Notepad:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Save As, select File Type: All files, and save it as "phpinfo.php"

Upload it on your server and run it through your browser

It will display your server settings

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi, that is so smart.
Thank you
Eva

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi again
I find this information:
post_max_size 8M - Is this value for my Form (with File upload) ?

upload_max_filesize 2M - or this one?

Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

Unfortunately it is 2 MB

Hello Naval

I have to build a "Contact Us" page for my site ( www.alfil-sa.com ) but I have not yet started with it.
I am using BV-10.1. I have read in other posts that BV-11 has problems with form pages built within BV-10.
Is this BV-11's issue still valid or was already solved? Or, should I build this page using VB-10 and do not switch yet to VB-11? Or else?

Thanks in advance for guiding me ... once again.

[navaldesign]

Please continue using BV10 until BV11 becomes stable.

[germansin]

Please continue using BV10 until BV11 becomes stable.

Hello Naval

I stayed with BV10 as per your suggestion. However I have not been able to install AVBFP. This is what I did:
1) I uploaded the AVBFP files to a folder named AVBFP, created in the public area.
2) I created the "AVBFP" database in my site using Cpanel. I assigned the name, user and password for this database.
3) I went to the form opened in the page "http://www.alfil-sa.com/ABVFP/dbts_install.php"
4) I assigned new user's name and password (supposed to be valid only for this operation)
5) I provided the other information asked for (copied from the CPanel database management) and accepted the EULA.
6) I tried then to install the ABVFP in my site but I keep receiving this error message:
"Could not connect to the database. Please check Database details !"
I checked and repair the database within CPanel, just in case, but the result is the same.

Did I misunderstand some step? Please advise.

When you created the username and password for the ABVFP database, did you grant this user permissions to access the database itself ?

[germansin]

When you created the username and password for the ABVFP database, did you grant this user permissions to access the database itself ?

When I created the database, I gave me (the user) all permits. But, for some reason, even if the user was created, it was not associated to the DB. I was sure I had pressed the button "Add". When I added the user to the DB, the AVBFP installation was successful. Thanks a lot !!

HiNaval,
I had problem in directory (when VB server went down) all my files in ABVFP where corrupted ( I had protection 0000 and I could not changed it) so VB support deleted directory ABVFP and I deleted database ABVFP. I want now to start over:
I created ABVFP database and assigned user with password
I copy unzipped files to directory and copy link
http://www.modelszoo.com/ABVFP/dbts_install.php
this is what show in browser:

Please help

[navaldesign]

Obviously the folder permissions are wrong. Normally should be 755.

See if they are correct or not-

If you can't change them it probably is a more generic issue that only support can solve.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi Naval,
I did changed protection to 755 it was 777 for some reason,
but now when I fill first tutorial it show me:
"Could not connect to the Database Server. Please check user details !"

I had screen shot what I have before when everything was working.
in first 3 lines I can fill anything (username, password)
Database Name: CPmyname_ABVFP - (myname-I use real name of database and Database user))
Database User : CPmyname_(myname- name of user I assigned to database)
password I assigned to that user

I thing I am fallowing instruction
Did I mist anything?
Please help
Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

If the database details (DB name, DB user , DB password) are correct, the only reason for not connecting is that you have not granted permissions to that user for the ABVFP database.

Go in your CP and ADD the specific user to the ABVFP database, granting ALL permissions.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi Naval again,
I checked database an the password for user assigned to database and all privileges
I don’t know where else to look.
Thank you
Eva

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi again,
I went back to databse in my CP all privileges are checked on.
I change password for user in database and in the tutorial, it still show same error.
Please help
Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

The ONLY reason for this error is mistaken db details or user not been granted permissions for THAT database.

There is no way i can help you without entering your account control panel to check these details.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
I can give you access, should I do it with e-mail?
Eva

[navaldesign]

Though my site contact form.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
Ok Thank you
Eva

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
I did go to your Home page DBTechnosystems.com and filled up Contact form.
Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

I deleted and recreated your Database , added user, granted permissions, installed ABVFP. You should receive the automated email with the installation details.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
I got e-mail. What was the problem?
When you where installing ABVFP did you put CPmyname_ABVP or without CP
Where Permissions correct (I did check them),. I just would like to know where I did make error
Thank you very much Eva

[navaldesign]

The details i used are the ones contained in the automated email.

I don't know where you have mistaken, since i can't afford the time necessary to debug, i simply deleted and recreated with new details.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi ,
I understand. Can you just tell me, when you where installing ABVFP did you put CPmyname_ABVP or without CP in installation tutorial
Thank you
Eva

[navaldesign]

As i said: look at the email you received, i used EXCACTLY what is in there

CPyourname_ABVFP means that if your control panel username is, in example "hgJklty" that should be "hgJklty_ABVFP"

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
Thank you
Eva

[jojopara]

Hello Navaldesign,

Here is what I get when I try to fill the form from my page ( http://www.all-e-services.com/contactform.php ):

Could not select Database. Please check user details !

What is to be donre to correct this?

Thank you!

[navaldesign]

The error message is quite clear: some of the details (one or more) are incorrect.

OR

you have not granted the user you created, permissions (ALL) to the specific database you created for ABVFP

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi Navaldesign,
I have new question for you. I need in my web site to have search ability to find members of the site by specific data for example: Country, State, City, Gender , Age, Hair Color, .. ect. which would be indicated in search form.
Something similar like in Soholaunch search from DB table. I can’t use that one
(I thing) because my web is built in VB and I didn’t like how the result table where looking and all flexibility of that program (templates). As I mention before I am new in building web sites. I will have pages in the site for each member. I cannot use eCommerce (I thing so far I see there) because I am not selling them :).
I did checked forum for ‘Search’ and also did go to , http://www.freefind.com/. All of them have one line search. I would prefer search from inside my web site, but if I have to, I would create DB table. I don’t know what will work in VB program and what program to use for it.
Can you please make suggestion what to do or use.
Thank you Eva

[navaldesign]

To be able to do this, you need:

1. A members script (where they create an account with the details (City, state, hair color etc). This would take care of feeding the data in the DB. Please note that for a field to be searchale, your input field should (ideally) have dropdown options for all of the above, otherwise, someone can put, as State (in example) Miami and another one MI . So the search would not provide reliable results
2. A search feature that would allow to search with one field value or a combination of values (State = MIAMI & Gender = Male & Hair Color = Blonde etc) and would display the results in a list.
3. Ideally, the members page could be autocreated retrieving the data from the database.

There might be some scripts that probably can do this (not sure) but not from inside BV. For a BV based script you need to have it custom made and as such it might cost.

If interested in a custom script, you can contact me through my site contact form.

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi,
I will Thank you
Eva

[emka@verizon.net]

Hi again,
I did go to your Contact Form.
I don't have all fields with dropdown options in my (contact) Sign Up form , but I can change that. Database is there created by form. You are correct.
I do need that search feature that would allow to search with one field value or a combination of values (similar to contact form), and the members page with some kind of style witch could be autocreated retrieving the data from the database. Or I would created pages manually looking similar as I send you example, and than I would need just scrip for searching words In the pages search with combination of value (without database).
As I understand In that case each word I want to have included in
the search would have to be inside some code. It will have to something similar like in
http://www.freefind.com/ they have:

Identifying Your Items

(top)

An "item" can be any part of a web page, and there can be multiple items per page (like product listings, web site reviews, bios, etc).
Place the following tags before and after each item listed in your site:
<!-- FreeFind Listing -->
<!-- FreeFind End Listing -->
This lets the search engine know what constitutes an item in your list. An "item" may consist of any HTML at all. For example, the FreeFind library search has glossary entry items, FAQ Q&A items, and more all combined into a single list of "things a user might find helpful". A product listing item might include photos of the product, pricing, etc.
I don't know write scripts for website and much about it, even I learn every day something. I need to make this work.
Thank you for help.
Eva

[andy5956]

Hi George,
Thanks for all your advise over the months,could you give me a bit of help with captcha.Do i use an HTML box under my form to put some script in to 'steer' it to the capcha.php file I have in my ABVFP folder on the server
My form is at www.compcon.co.uk/ABVFP/dbts_abvfp_2.php and I just want to put captcha box below.
Many Thanks
AndyC

[navaldesign]

Yes, use a HTML box to add the captcha code. The contact form that comes with the ABVFP zip contains a captcha so simply copy / paste and change the necessary URLs in the code.

[andy5956]

I found a captcha file in my abvfp folder on computer. Opened it,copied details(no sign of URL) created an HTML box on my page,pasted details in box,previewed my page...nothing....
This is what was in captcha file:

<?php
$width = 100;
$height = 38;
$font = 'verdana.ttf';
$f_size = 14;
$bg_color = array(240, 240, 240);
$chars = 'AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhKkMmNnPpQqRrSsTtVvWwXxYyZz2345678 9';
session_start();
$im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$bkgr = imagecolorallocate($im, $bg_color[0], $bg_color[1], $bg_color[2]);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, $width, $height, $bkgr);
$code = '';
for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
$code .= $chr = $chars[mt_rand(0, strlen($chars)-1)];
imagettftext($im,$f_size,mt_rand(-35,35),5+$i*18,mt_rand(4/3*$f_size,$height-(4/3*$f_size)/2),imagecolorallocate($im,mt_rand(0,192),mt_rand(0 ,192),mt_rand(0,192)),$font,$chr);
}
$_SESSION['random_txt'] = md5($code);
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Many Thanks for help

[andy5956]

Then published.....what a mess!!

[navaldesign]

No, you should not have touched this file.
Place a html box in your form (It will need to have the dimensions of the the captcha that will appear)

Paste the following code in this HTML box:

<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()">

Replace the two URLS avove with your own (related to your domain)

OR

Open the folder BV Pages (in the zip)
Open the page "contactform"

Copy / paste the captcha HTML box from "contactform" to your own page
Double click it and edit the two URLs

Please note that this ONLY works when the page is published, not in preview as it is PHP code.

[andy5956]

Thanks...I have got there...and it works of a fashion!!....I did test captcha box, but I can put any old nubers or letter in, and ut then goes to my thank you page!...Is this how it is supposed to work?..I would have thought u needed to put the exact code in the box??
Thanks again,Andy

[navaldesign]

No, it should not. If the entered code is wrong, it should send to the error page.

BUT

you have not used ABVFP to process your form!

The built in form processor CAN'T verify the captcha value. You need to use ABVFP to process your form

I was assuming that since you posted in the ABVFP thread, you were using ABVFP but you are not!

[andy5956]

Sorry,I have abvfp all over my computer an I downloaded it,but I think I must have used just a form from BV...is that possible?
I will try and make the form again, or could you do it for a small fee??
Chuckle,thanks again
Andy

[navaldesign]

The issue is not redoing the form, but installing ABVFP and using it to process your form, to get the captcha working on your site. The installation is really simple, if you follow the manual instructions.

If not, Yes, i can install ABVFP (There is an installation Request form in the same page where you downloaded ABVFP from my site) and setup your form accordingly.

[andy5956]

I have recreated form from ABVFP folder (contactform) have also saved a new form created in ABVFP saved as Form 4.Have used instruction Formid 4. Am unsure how it all works together. In the instructions,i read that you can create form, but you also give it an instruction with the Formid value,
but I thought this would be confusing, as the Formid instruction is for another form design?? Sorry for being a bit thick! I have carried out installation as per instructions...Thanks for help

[andy5956]

the new form is www.compcon.co.uk/ABVFP/dbts_abvft_3.php

Thanks again

[navaldesign]

Not sure what you mean or what you are asking (if you are asking something)

Your form in the above link has its action pointing to the page itself, so you do NOT process it with ABVFP. You probably have set the form to be processed with the built in form processor. If so, how do you expect ABVFP to process your form ???

[andy5956]

sorry if not clear.....I am using BV to create my web site, and assume I use that for making the form, If not I still do not know how ABVFP then works....Do you create a page in BV and then give an instruction from a button, say in Index, to ABVFP folder on server to the contact form in that folder,which then opens the form that I created in ABVFP? If that is the case where do u put instruction for which form to open(Formid 4)?
Thanks again

[navaldesign]

Please read the ABVFP manual.

The form is created in BV
You set the form action to point to ABVFP (it is explained in the manual)
Then you setup the specific form in the ABVFP control panel. It will display a Formid when you do so.

You use this value for the form hidden field.

and you are ready to publish and test your form

All of the above are explained in details in the ABVFP manual included in the zip.

[andy5956]

Thanks for all your efforts, but it must be me, I have read and read....
How do I pay you to sort ?...Thanks again

[navaldesign]

There is a "Request Installation Service" button in the ABVFP download page.
It will take you to a form where you can select the options you like and it will, at the end, take you to the payments page.

[Shirley Shi]

Hi, navaldesign,

I do need your help. Please help.

About me
domain: ls-jp.come
ID: svfndwyw
About my problem
1) when using ABVFP, messages coming to my mailbox are scramble. I can change chararcter code to utf8 and display the message via outlook express. but when using webmails, such as gmail, i have to way to view the message.
2) data stored in the database are all cramble
3) before installing abvfp, there had no problem with the built-in php form processor. But now when switching back to the built-in php form processor, even if i checked "data required", form can be submitted even with nothing filled out.

Please help.

[navaldesign]

If you are using UTF8, the database also should be set so.
ABVFP by default uses ISO 8859-1 so you need to edit the code and reupload the file.

3) this has nothing to do with ABVFP: look at how you have named your form, the form name should not contain any white spaces or symbols.

[Preston72315]

Naval,

Are you still providing support for customers for ABVFP at your site? I submitted a request 4 or 5 days ago and have only received tue auto-response. Thanks Preston

[Shirley Shi]

hi,everybody,

my domain is "ls-jp.com", my ID is "svfndwyw". Here is my page with a form: http://www.ls-jp.com/translation.php

my problem:

I am using ABVFP. everything seems ok except the autoresponder mail subject, mail header and ect. which does not display Japanese, either the database. There is no problem with form data itself.

I guess it might be because the character set. I went to phpMyadmin, and found the character set for the information_schema data base is "utf8_general_ci". I guess it should be changed "utf8_unicode_ci". But it seems that this database is uneditable. Please advice me how to solve this problem.

[hdesign]

Hi Naval,

I've been using ABVFP successfully for about a year and a half. Great product!

For some reason I can't find, for the last month, when users submit my form, I am not getting the results emailed to me anymore. The user gets the auto-responder but the form result is no longer mailing to me. I haven't changed my email, it's not in the junk mail folder, it's just not coming through.

How can I troubleshoot this? Anything you can think of that might be preventing the mailing to me? Thanks so much!!

[navaldesign]

If the script sends the autoresponder mail, it means that it does work. If you get no mails, it can be an issue with your ISP blocking them, in which case i suggest that you change the email address to one within your own domain and check directly in your webmail.

[mumu]

Hello George,

I am having a problem with ABVFP when I press the submit button I get an error message: Illegal Form Submission
What am I doing wrong?
Saludos

[navaldesign]

Probably the form URL (as typed in your menus and as it appears in the browser address bar) is different from the one typed in the ABVFP control panel: probbaly a missin www or http: in one of the two.

[Delightful]

Hi Naval,

Have a question, I installed the ABVFP in my adondomain is that oke to! Sorry if its a stupid question but have to learn and have no idear!

Thx

[navaldesign]

Yes, you can install ABVFP in a subdomain.

[Charles Tse]

I have installed and built a number of forms using the ABVFP.
And now I tried to login the modify some of the forms and the login was not successful.
The response was "Incorrect login"
I think I have forgot the user name and password.
What should I do to get back to the forms that I have built up.

[navaldesign]

Connect with FTP to your hostinng account.
Browse into the ABVFP folder.
Find and double click the file "dbts_ABVFP_config.php"

It will open in Notepad and you will be able to recover your details.

Hi Naval.

For the past 4hrs, i had been struggling to instal ABVFP, following the instruction,whenever i type this URL to instal, it shows this message.
I ve done all that is necessary including;
setting up my database, uploading the file into a folder called ABVFP in my public folder, ensuring thr permission is set to 0644, please help
uRL /ABVFP/dbts_ABVFP_install1.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.

[navaldesign]

The only possible reason is that the folder created on the server is not named "ABVFP" or that your upload has missed some files

[Richest]

Hi Navel,

I have used ABVFP on another site successfully, but I cannot figure out what I have done wrong on the latest application. After scouring the forum and correcting several errors, I am still getting an "The verification code you have entered is not correct! Please go back and try again." message on my error page. I have tried submitting the form with several different Captcha codes, carefully entering the verification code, but still get the error.

Any suggestions? I have everything uploaded to a ABVFP folder on the website and have double check to insure that my form name and formid are a match to the ABVFP form processing setup.

The form is located at:
http://rawpantry.biz/ABVFP/contact_1.php

I am sorry to bother you with this, but after several hours of looking through the ABVFP form topic, I have come up empty. I really appreciate you dedication to the forum.

The captcha seems to work ok. Instead, you have another issue: Illegal Form submission.

Hi Navel,

The latest error message I was getting before I contacted you was the captcha error message, but I had gotten the Illegal Form Submission error previously as well. After a day away from looking at this, I found my error right away, an omission of a sub-folder in the form processing information.

It now all works fine. Not sure why I was getting the captcha error when I had the path of the contact form incorrect in the form processing information, but it works now.

Sorry to have bothered you over this. Just another example of working on a project with too little sleep.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi Eva,

Thanks for the suggestion, but access to the web page works whether or not I used the "www". I eventually found my error, which was a folder omission in the path I typed in Navels form processor. Frustrating for me because I checked that at least a dozen times. But after a day away from working on it, I got it right way.

Thanks for you concern!
Richest

[Richest]

The order you receive the field values is the same that you created the fields.

This is valid not only with ABVFP but with any form processor.

To edit the order: Right click the field you want first, and select Bring to Front. Repeat with the second field, down to the end. Do the same also for your submit and reset buttons
Save, Publish, Refresh your browser before testing.

A little help please.

I have sucessfully added Navel's contact page to a website I am developing. It is live and can be found at: http://www.rawpantry.biz/ABVFP/contact_1.php

The only problem I am having is the tab order of the fields. I have tried starting at the top of the form and bringing each individual field to the front as Navel's fix shows, but after typing in the First Name field and pressing tab, the curser goes to the web address, then to the web search default entry and several other places before reaching the Last Name field. After the Last Name field, the tab works fine, progressing through the rest of the fields.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Richest

[mumu]

What I did once to solve the problem of field order was to delete the database that was already created with the fields in disorder.

Then I went through the form and brougth forward each field in the order I wanted them and then processed the form again making sure to fill out every field so the database creates all the columns. Saludos

Hi, I cant find the mail u sent, ve search all my e-mails, pls where did u send the mail to, am getting tired of this!!! pls help, its urgent

[navaldesign]

I mailed you at h....99@y...ho.com

Here is what I wrote in the mail:

Hi, It seems that you have, somehow (I can't know how) renamed most of the
files like dbts_ABVFP_admin1.php to dbts_abvfp_admin1.php that is, you
turned the file names to all lowercase.
This way these files result not found.

I have uploaded the correct files, now you can proceed with Installation.

[Hoffmen99]

Thanx, i will check right away!!!

[Hoffmen99]

Naval, am very grateful!!!
I have installed ABVFP successfully, and set up my first form "Form_2".
which was an admission form, please check and make comments, http://www.goldenberylschools.net/admissionform.php.
Also when i checked my PHPAdmin i observe a table have been automatically created named ABVFP_form.
I had expected the Form_2 to be created automatically when i post for the first time, do i ve to create the table manually?
Best Regards!
Thumb up for you Naval

[navaldesign]

The table should be automatically created on first submission IF you have set in the Form_2 settings in the processor control panel the Database storage to Yes

[Hoffmen99]

Hi there,

I've been using ABVFP for years now, and it's just great. However, recently it's come to my attention that none of the forms on any of my websites appear to be working.

Has something changed? What do I need to do to get things going again?

Thanks!

Sandy

[sandysewin]

P.S. I did notice when I went to check my forms that all the apostrophes had a "/" in front of them. Weird.

[navaldesign]

A link to one of the non working forms please ?

They all give the "Thank You" page after clicking "Submit," but the information isn't sent. The autorespond isn't sent either.

Thank you!

Do you receive the mail but not any info, or don't you receive anything at all ?

If no mail is sent it doesn't seem to be a script issue but rather an email account issue.

probably the mail is blocked by your ISP or ends up in your spam folder.

Use an email address that is within your own domain, and check in your webmail (inside your VH control panel, webmail) to see if you get the mail there or if you get some message from the server (usually if an issue is encountered, the server sends an automated email reporting the issue).

Check it and post back.

Also, which version of ABVFP are you using ?

Probably replacing the file dbts_abvfp.php can help you solve the issue if you have some older version.

[sandysewin]

Ok, so I checked my email on the Control Panel. (This is something I never do. Should I check it? Why?) For the Huntress Custom and Organized People sites, the mail from the test forms that I'd done yesterday were there in the inbox, but I never received them to my sandsewin address. I tried forwarding them and got this message:

There was an error sending your message: Failed to add recipient: sandysewin@verizon.net [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 550, response: Verification failed for <mvrfvknw@huntresscustom.com> No Such User Here Sender verify failed)]

I also received this in one of the emails "Mail Delivery Failed: Returning Message to Sender."

SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection:
host relay.verizon.net [206.46.232.11]: 571 Email from 75.126.104.146 is currently blocked by Verizon Online's anti-spam system. The email sender or Email Service Provider may visit http://www.verizon.net/whitelist and request removal of the block. 100727

For my other site, Creation's Praise, I have the email sent directly to the sandysewin address, but none of those have arrived.

Is it Verizon blocking me? Jeepers. If so, what do I need to ask them to whitelist?

Also, I'm pretty sure I do have an older version of ABVFP, but I don't know how to tell. What do I do to update it?

[navaldesign]

Seems like verizon is blocking your server IP address, probably becaus ethere has been some spammer in the past from that server.

Submit a support ticket and ask VH what they can do to remove the blacklisting.
Include the message you got from the Verizon mail server and a reference to this thread.

In the meantime check your emails through your webmail to make sure you will not be loosing any submissions.

To tell which version of ABVFP you have just open the ABVFP zip that you (should) have in your computer and check the manual. In the very first paragraph you should see the version (Last is 2.1)

[sandysewin]

Will do. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks so much!

Sandy

I've been using ABVFP for quite some time and very much satisfied with it. My question is... can it be sent as an excel file via email?

Meaning, fields are converted to tables. Thank you.

[sandysewin]

Thanks so much for your help, navaldesign.

Apparently Verizon had blacklisted my email address, but the good folks at BV Customer Support had a word with 'em.

All is working as it should now.

Thanks again.

No, It can't . You need another processor for this.

[jorujuja]

I see, thank you.
