Scripting / Re: Help With form2email

Last post by Dynaweb - November 21, 2013, 01:19:07 PM

That could be achieved by using either a separate web page before the main form OR by using javascript.  I do not know of any pre-fabricated script that will do that easily, but if you want I can customize the script for a nominal charge.

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email

Hi Dynaweb,
Thanks for this suggestion, will look into it.

Ideally I would like a form which starts with the client's details but if they click no on 'are you the student' then another part of the form opens asking for the student's details.

Is this easy to do or am I better to stay with what I've got?

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email

Oh, that is a perl script.  I stopped using perl many years ago in favor of PHP which is more easily configurable and cross-server compatible.

Here is a good php form-to-email script that comes with instructions.

Hi,
Thank you for this advice, I have put in the script the same form names as in the form.

I also want to make the form compatible with android, windows & apple products.

Many thanks
Here is my script.

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email

Last post by Dynaweb - November 20, 2013, 03:09:11 PM

Looks like you have the fields "firstname" and "surname".  Make sure those are reflected in your php script.  If you still have trouble, post the php script here and I can review it.

Scripting / Help With form2email

Last post by form2email - November 20, 2013, 02:51:20 PM

I am using form2email for my clients to contact me about obtaining a tutor.

I am using DW8, when I viewed it on firefox and clicked 'submit' I got the script page [I believe this means the form has been submitted.  However, I don't think the required fields have been recognised and are therefore ignored when on the server.  The thank you page does not work. 
I have stipulated in the script which fields I want as required.

Question:  should I stipulate in the script which fields I want or in the html form?

If in the form, this is how one of the fields look:     
  <tr>
     <td align="right" class="style8">*Your first name:&nbsp;</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" width="497"> <input type="text" name="firstname" size="26" maxlength="60" class="required" /> </td></tr>
   
  <tr>
    <td align="right" class="style8">*Your surname:&nbsp;</td>
  <td align="left" valign="middle" width="497"><input type="text" name="surname" size="26" maxlength="60"  class="required"/>  </td></tr>

How this makes sense.

Frontpage / Support For FrontPage on Cpane...

Last post by Dynaweb - October 21, 2013, 05:04:01 PM

It has come to my attention that those of you still using FrontPage for web publishing using the FrontPage Server Extensions technology are having difficulty connecting and publishing the way you are used to (http method).  At this time, this applies to Cpanel only.  FPSE still works on Plesk servers.

I know this comes as an untimely inconvenience for many.  It is difficult to let FrontPage go (yes I am a user of FP as well!)

We are researching what can be done further to continue to support FPSE.  Microsoft abandoned FPSE in 2004, so for the last nine years, we have been tweaking our service to work FPSE into our offerrings.

As with any old server technology that goes to the wayside, eventually it can no longer be offered if for nothing else than the sake of security.

The techs are looking into the possibility of restoring FPSE and we will keep you posted here as to those efforts.
