How can it be fixed?

Send Email to All Users at once, Possible?

blatta — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:50:15 -0700

My apologies if this has been discussed already! I looked all over but i was not able to find an answer.

So i am trying to find out if i could send an email to all users that submitted a particular form at once. I have a registration form that automatically send out a confirmation when a submission comes in. Now i want to send everyone who registered a reminder. Any ideas on how i can do that?

Excel download - Not all records

dkindler — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:15:02 -0700

I am using FormTools 1.5.1. When I view the form submissions it shows over 6000 records but when we try to download all to an excel file it downloads less than 2000 records.

Anyone experience this and has a fix??

Thanks,
David

Textarea data is being truncated

mja850 — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:26:42 -0700

I have a simple FormTools 2 (v2.0.0-beta-20100101) contact form with PHP validation and reCaptcha. The form works perfectly except that the data for the textarea "message" section gets cut off around 255 characters. I have confirmed that the field size is set to "Very Large" - I have even tried setting it smaller and then resetting it. Nothing seems to work!

I don't believe there is anything in the HTML that would limit characters.

Here is a screenshot of the database settings taken from PHPmyadmin:

Thank you for any help!

[Of course, the messages always seem to get cut off at the most important part!]

'Forms' page

Everything redirecting to error.php

Falcadia — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:24:22 -0700

I hope someone can help me with this. Today out of the blue every page making a call to the API and the when I try to access the admin it redirects to the error.php and says

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://www.nilsonhomes.com/warranty/error.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

version: 1.0.0-beta-20090908
Apache: 2.2.11 (Unix)
os: Linux
php: 5.2.8
mysql: 5.0.81-community

This is the directory containing FT.

http://www.nilsonhomes.com/warranty/

Any help would be great.

File Upload

filch — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:25:55 -0700

Ben, have you ever considered using Perl instead of PHP for the file upload functionality? Allows for larger files and is generally faster. Plus easier to emply a progress bar.

Just wondering.

Multiple Forms on single page using FT2 API

fourmat — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:07:58 -0700

Hi Guys,

Great script. I am using it in several places and find it really easy to use.

I have currently run into a situation where we need to have several forms on the same page. I have searched through the forums and found where others have added more than one to a single page, but they were custom coding a lot of additional features.

Basically, my client wants 3 forms on the same page that are hidden with a display:none DIV tag. When a link is chosen and clicked the DIV opens and the form shows up leaving the others hidden.

How would one go about utilizing the API to handle more than one form on a single page just using the standard coding provided in the base FT installation instructions?

My apologies if I missed the instructions somewhere, I looked but couldn't find anything.

Having problems sending form to MySQL db

jaymundaka — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:12:56 -0700

Hello people.

I apologize upfront, but I'm very new to all this (building my 1st website).
I've used the formmail wizard as far as it can take me, but I'm trying to sent my form to my SQL database. I looked at this http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/api_...page=step1 but fell at the first as I couldn't locate the 'api.php' it refers to.

In summation, I've posted a form up and it works (sends collected info to my email address), but I want the info to go to my SQL database that I've set up.

Thanks in anticipation.

Any way to easily link 2 forms together with a common field?

Chilli — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:11:32 -0700

Not sure if this is already a feature, or something where I would have to edit the code myself to do this.

What I want to achieve is a way to link 2 forms together.

What I have is two forms.
Form 1: Mentor information
Form 2: Student information

What I want to do is to match a student with a mentor. So if you select a mentor, there will be a drop down list of all students (pulled from the student list) (vice versa on the other list).

Then once you select the student that matches to the mentor, there will be a link to the student info from the mentor information.

Any easy way to do this, or would I have to edit the code heavily?

Charset problem in email header

elembe — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:12:09 -0700

Hello.

First of all, this is The Greatest free script I have ever installed in my life. I'm on my knees master, you just command! ;-)

I've got pretty big issue with header section of the emails sent after form submission. The problem is that if somebody enters characters like Č, Ć, Š, Ž in the name and surname fields of the form, in the header section of the FROM field in email I get something like this: �� and that's the email I have to reply to. :-D

OK, it's not a problem to me, because I've got all of their submited data in the mail body, but when submiter gets that email, than is ugly...

My php files are encoded in UTF8, and charset is also in UTF8, so I think the problem is in FT. I'm not a programer, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that header section of the email also has to bi set to UTF8? If so, do you know how can I solve that?

Now, the whole thing wouldn't be a problem If "FROM" field would be only email address of the submiter, but next to the email, theres name and surname, and special characters are allowed there. Wich causes the problem.

P.S. I do not have characters problem anywhere else, including the admin panel, database, and email body.

Thanks in advance!
FT rules! :-)

permissions?

oreandra — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:36:07 -0700

Hey,

I have uploaded this to my remote spot and I cannot seem to get access to the files. Directories give permission denied errors even though I set full permissions using my ftp client.

I am hoping that this software can fill in the same info in forms on multiple websites with user friendliness.... and bring back readable results to be saved in a file.

Any help is appreciated... This is for an xp system. This is urgent so a fast response would be ideal...

Thanks!!

Form View Permission Issue

scott.adams — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:04:25 -0700

I have a form that has 13 views associated with it. Each view has a specific user account associated with it. I am using the 13 views because I have specific filters assigned to each view. When I edit the form for any reason all of the accounts associated with the views get reset to "No clients" and I have to manually go into each view and setup the associated account again.
Any idea as to why this is happening? All of my other forms work well but they only have one view associated with them. This form is the only one that has multiple views associated with it and this is the only one causing this issue.
Thanks for the help.

XLS export not UTF?

Nowton — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:56:26 -0700

Excel export of form submissions shows all kinds of character mayhem in unicode characters. I'm correcting heaps of international submissions from abroad: germany, scandinavia and the like. Also Excel 2007 complains about damage on opening the generated file, but does open it.

Email on submission of form not working

martin_undefined — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:31:49 -0700

Hi - anyone got any clues on this:

* Test email sends perfectly from admin screen.

* No email is sent when form is submitted (but should be).

* The form is using Paypal so never goes to the 'thank you' page that was configured when the form was originally set up. Would this cause the email not to send?

Thanks for any suggestions

Media Gallery Not Working

Prig — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:25:47 -0800

I can't seem to get the Media Gallery module to work properly. I followed the guide and I believe everything is setup correctly, but when I go to view submissions, I don't see the Media Gallery icon.

My form is configured in the following way...

-One file field type - set as File (field type).
-Under options: Max File Size - 3 MB, Permitted File Types - jpeg, jpg, png

-Module is Enabled, status is set to enabled.
-Field is listed correctly, field type is set to image.

Any other steps I'm missing?

Thanks.

header("location: in Verification page re-directs back to homepage not thanks

whal7 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:03:08 -0800

Hi and thank you for a great product. I have used FT on many sites and love it. This time I am trying to incorporate it into a cms with the review. I have it working up until the point where after they review their information they click submit and now it just re-directs them to the homepage not allowing me to setup the form with ft.

the way the cms creates the pages is it is index.php?page= and the page but no matter what I seem to put in there it will not work properly. I am not sure if this is the way it is being handled within the cms or if there is something I can change to make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Installation does not confirm MySQL version correctly

pinkfrankenstein — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:45:58 -0800

I don't know the correct technical terms, but in the installation script the PHP command:

Code:

mysql_get_client_info()

Only gets the version of mysqlnd which is part of PHP and not MySQL.

Thus the script returns:
MySql - mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 1.3.2.27 $ FAIL

No matter what version of MySQL is installed. This happens with PHP 5.3 on OS X Snow Leopard.

In order to get the MySQL version, would need something like this:

Code:

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pword');

if (!$link) {

    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

printf("MySQL server version: %s\n", mysql_get_server_info());

?>

Thanks
