that works great!
Only problem I have is that it's ignoring the data requires the email address

Not sure what you mean, please clarify.

DBTS Form Processor does NOT validate. It accepts whatever is sent by the form.

wbdesigner · Post by **wbdesigner** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 7:30 pm

I have the email field set to validate and the form goes ahead a submits without an email address filled out.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 8:43 pm

How is this related to the extension ?

You should perform the validation through the WB Validation tools. In particular, the form name should not contain any whitespaces or symbols, or the validation Javascripts gets broken.

wbdesigner · Post by **wbdesigner** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:01 pm

how do you use WB for the validation? didn't you say not to use a WB form with the Jquery tabs?

"Yes, you can use the DBTS Form Processor with JQuery Tabs. However, you do NOT add forms in each Tab!

Create the Tabs as you like them, meaning that you add in each tab the fields you want, WITHOUT form.
Only the fields."

Patti,

Please understand that I can't remember posts that you made days ago and connect in my mind what you have in your mind.

On the subject: If you use the jquery tabs, you don't have, anymore, the standard WB validation tools, so you will need to do one of the following:

1. write your own validation script and add a onsubmit event
2. Add real time validation (which works in your case without form)
3.you can add PHP validation in the DBTS Form Processor using the icludes and writing your own PHP validation code.

Pls understand that yours is a very particular application.

I know you are busy. me too.
thanks for the help.
the form itself works great. amazingly cool.
not sure how to do the
2. Add real time validation (which works in your case without form)

I have selected the validation on the field. what is real time validation? how would I do that?

Thanks again for all of your hard work

Patti

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 6:49 am

Double click the field. Set the necessary validation as you would do normally.
Then check the box "Enable Real Time Validation"
Click on "Settings" to set the real time validation colors etc.

I can't get the validation to work when using the jquery tabs. but the rest of the jquery multi page form idea is just too cool!

March 09, 2011: Major update
New: code modified for hosting companies like GoDaddy and similar "problematic" hosters
New: Added ability for different recipients (departments) depending on user's selection. You can now send the mail to your Sales, or Support, or Billing etc departments (or persons) depending on selection by user.
New: Added CC and BCC
New: Added ability to ban IPs or IP ranges
New: your "email" field can now be named whatever you need.
New: "includes" code can now be added directly in the properties. No need to use separate files. Of course, you still can use separate files (and include them) if you prefer.
New: Further Posting. You can now set the script to post the data received to yet another script. Uses sockets, so they must be enabled on your hosting account.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:08 pm

March 23, 2011 Version 2.7.1.2
Added: charset for various character sets support
Added: Functioning Mode selection: allows you to set the error reporing system to display in the page errors encountered. Used to debug issues, if any.
Added: Custom HTML Template for admin and auto mails. You can use a template created by you instead of the automatically created HTML template.

I have a pdf fill a form that I've made, it works great except that it uses email to return the form and some people can't do that. so I was wondering if your form processor would work?
just thinking probably not, I would have to get the pdf into WB not as a link but as a form... hummm

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:47 pm

No, that's not possible.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:46 pm

You need to look at the very bottom of the error messages. The above are just notices / warnings so they don't actually cause a fatal error. The last one instead (which you did not post here) will show you what's the fat error that causes the script to break.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:39 pm

Seems to me that the processor goes on hold in line 40.

This "could" be due to the Form ID.

If you have set the Form ID property of the processor to be anything, and you have NOT included a hidden field in the form (see manual) or the hidden field has a different value (even a white space at the end) then the processor intrpretes this as coming from another form and will not process any more.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:59 pm

The manual contains full instructions on how to make radio buttons "remember" the submitted values.
Please read carefully, there is nothing more I can add here.
The same thing is valid also for comboboxes.
If I can't see your page code, I can't be of any help . However, if the values are not included in the mail, you have something wrong there. I must see the page.

JQuery datepicker also has a "Initial Value" field, so the same considerations valid for simple textboxes apply here as well.

To have the total appearing from page to page, you need to add some custom code (through the Includes section).

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 9:11 am

UPDATE:

July 31, 2011 Version 2.7.3.0
Added: DBTS reCAPTCHA error messsages can now be customized / translated
Added: Reverse captcha verification
Improved: Custom processing code can now be added directly in the script properties.

If you don't use these features, you may remain with the version already installed.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:13 pm

Update:

August 1, 2011 Version 2.7.4.1
Added: "Form Name from" property that allows you to use some of the data submitted (usually the first and last name) as "From Name" in the Administrator email.
Fixed: bug with the main processor file not being uploaded with the rest of the files.

supersonictt · Post by **supersonictt** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:17 pm

Navaldesign,

Thanks a lot for the update, I think your extension is a must have! I used it for processing two form in the same web page.
I will try the new version. And the manual you provided is really comprehensive.

And, I REALLY appreciate your help to WWB users.

Thank you so much.

supersonictt · Post by **supersonictt** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 10:41 am

Hello again,

I just want to ask if this is possible to do:
As I said in the last post, I am using two forms on the same page, I validated every field so all fields must be filled.
Now upon submission, the success page appears, and if I hit back (to take me back to the forms page) I still can see that the fields I filled are still filled. Is there a way to empty them when the back button is clicked?

Thanks.

Well, it seems it only happens in Google Chrome. In Firefox, if I hit back, the fields are empty.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 12:08 pm

Not sure if this can help (I have not tested it) but probably it would help if you followed the steps described in "Preserving your form values after an error"

This means, setting initial values for the fields (as descibed in the manual) and also set the three properties:

Copy field values in session
Copy session values in fields
Clear session before ending

to have as value "Yes"

This will force the fields to assume the values stored in $_SESSION, which, at this point has been cleared, so the fields should remain empty.

Hi George,

I went into Extension Manager and updated this extension... however when I view it's properties in the Page HTML it says it's DBTS Form Processor Extension verion 2.5.5.8, not 2.7.4.1

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:52 am

Hi Barbara,

Yes, you are right, it seems that I have uploaded an older version!

Please update, current version should display 2.7.5.1 (added "Labels" property)

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:57 am

Update

August 4, 2011 Version 2.7.5.1
Added: Labels property for the tecnical info customization
Added: Time of submission Format property, allows you to customize how the date and time of submission will look like.

Please note that a wrong (older) zip had been uploaded for version 2.7.4.1

If you have installed this version, please upgrade ASAP to v. 2.7.5.1

bjlolmaugh · Post by **bjlolmaugh** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 2:01 pm

Can the field data be the email address of the sender?

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 12:17 am

Of course.
However this property has been added since a user asked to have the visitor's name as "From". And it seems more logical.

supersonictt · Post by **supersonictt** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 2:20 pm

There is something weird happening here!

I updated the extension to the latest version, and set up everything as it was, but upon submission, the page turns blank and no data submitted!

I got 2 forms on the same page, I defined the Form ID in the extension, added the hidden field (formid: Form1...). The page extension is php, the action of the form is: <?php echo basename(__FILE__);?>, encoding type: multipart/form-data, and the method is: post. I disabled the built-in form processor, and I respected the fields names not to be any of the written in the manual. The send button name is set to: submit.

Set the Working Mode to "Debug" so the script will output the errors on screen and you will be able to understand what is going wrong.

Yes, I just did that and it says:

Notice: Undefined index: POST in /home/racketre/public_html/page1.php on line 16

Line 16 is:

$SESSION = $_SESSION['POST'];

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 3:24 pm

The se are notices, they don't affect the script.
Look at the last lines. Somewhere there must be a line like:

Fatal error.......................

Post here the last 10 lines you see on screen.

It seems the error due to the time format! I am not sure!

EDIT:

I deleted:

Code: Select all

$time_format = "$time_format";
$date = date("l jS F Y, g:i A");
if(trim($time_format) == ""){
$date = $date($time_format);
}

and now it is working properly!
Hope that would help finding out the previous error

Yes, it is working perfectly now

thank you so much.

One more thing, I think there is another bug (I am not sure). The email I am receiving upon submission contains the details about the time of submission, browser info and IP address, but here how it looks:

Code: Select all

Time of Submission	 Friday 5th August 2011, 6:54 PM
$$	 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.122 Safari/534.30
IP Address	 10.255.14.172

In the previous version there used to be "Browser" instead of "$$". And by the way, these data are submitted from the second form I have on the page. If data are submitted from the first form, a single "S" is displayed not "SS".

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 4:04 pm

supersonictt · Post by **supersonictt** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 4:11 pm
