Some problems with Safari and MACs

murphy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:29:51 -0800

All -
I am using forms tools on my website with multiple single page forms. All the forms are in different areas of the website so none of them share a page or anything.
The problem I am having is that it seems a user with a Mac and using Safari browser can submit a form that is empty even when I have server side verification. In addition, the user is also seeing that when submiting a form to attend a class but is getting a confirmation from the conference form that I have.

The user is using a Mac with Snow Leopard OS and Safari browser. I know I have a few user out there with Macs and haven't had this issue before.

All my forms are API forms.

Anyone seen this before?? Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix???

Thanks

Suddently, cannot login

patrinos — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:09:12 -0800

Hello, we've been using FT 1.4.1 successfully to manage conference registrations for some years now. All of a sudden, we cannot login to administer FT:

Upon inserting the correct admin username/password (also verified via phpmyadmin), we get the response "Sorry, that password does not match." When we request the password sent via email, it replies "Your login information has been emailed to you." however the email never arrives.

As I said the admin username/pass seems to be correct, but something seems to be triggering the logout.php.

The only change we made recently was a temporary 24 hour deactivation of the virtual hosting that hosts FT, while the form itself was available online at one of our other virtual hosts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

How to point my form to Form Tool?

tahsan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:23:43 -0800

In the sub-section of test transmission of section of add form, I have to point my existing form php file to Form Tool either by direct method or by code method. Since I am not an expert, I prefer the easier direct method. Question is: can I use direct method for forms prepared in any way? I don'f find it easy to apply the direct method to my form script, the first few lines are like this:

require_once("./includes/visaform-lib.php");
$formmailobj = new FormMail("visaform");
$formmailobj->setFormPage(sfm_readfile("./templ/visaform_form_page.txt"));
$formmailobj->setFormID("d91d4aec-8040-4ce3-a30a-df4d2e9b86a2");

How can I apply the following direct method to the above?:

migrate installation

Is it possible to migrate an installation from one domain or server to another? Thanks.

Password Hash

walkingby — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:49:05 -0800

I'm using formtools as somewhat of a "registration" system. Basically, the user completes a basic registration form on the site. The data is then inserted directly into the ft_accounts table. The username and password are most important, everything else simply defaults. I'm using an md5 hash for the password. I've tested the hash value's being stored, and they seem to be correct. For example "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99" should be "password" ...but for whatever reason, when the user tries to log in, I'm receiving a "password not correct" error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Stuck at step 4 of installation

tahsan — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:22:31 -0800

I think, I inserted the database information correctly and set the permissions correctly at step 3. At step 4, when I click 'create file', the process never completes. There is no error message. Cannot not to step 5. What could be problem? How can I solve the problem?

One thing strikes me as a problem. I do not see the database information in the configuration file that appears above the 'create file' button. I see only the inverted commas. It is copied below:

// database settings
$g_db_hostname = "";
$g_db_name = "";
$g_db_username = "";
$g_db_password = "";
$g_table_prefix = "";

How can I fix the problem?

Subsequently, I found that the config.php file was installed in the global folder. How can I move on to step 5 manually, since I am stuck at step 5 in the browser.

One more question: what is meant by the statement at the beginning of step 1:

"If you have already run the installation script, delete the /install folder then click here to log in."

I did not do anything? What was I supposed to do?

eternity575 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:57:12 -0800

Enabling Email Send on submission breaks FT 2.0.0

Steve — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:34:49 -0800

I have a form setup and accepting results. If I enable the email send on submission the form fails at 'process.php': no data reaches the database and no email gets sent out and the redirect/complete page is never reached.

Turning off the email send option allows the form to work as expected: storing the data in the DB and then forwarding to the specified redirect/complete page.

The email address is valid and receives email otherwise.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this a known issue with FT 2.0.0?

Thanks.

Multi-options only save one choice

kmw — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:08:34 -0800

I have two checkboxes setup as a single option group. When I select either checkbox, the results save to the database. When I select both, nothing is saved. I have converted to multi-select with the same results. Manually editing the form submission gives the same result. I have enlarged the field size to no avail. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.

Submission Search by Date

vizzaroo — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:13:26 -0800

Hi Ben & co.

When searching submissions by date, is there anyway of injecting the calendar into the search function or a from **** to ***** option

i.e retrieve submissions sent on 02/03/2010 to 05/03/2010

Options currently listed are

Last Day
Last Day
Last 3 Days
Last 5 Days
Last Week
Last Month
Last Year

then by each month.

Cheers.

skipped ID's on PayPal enabled forms

gediweb — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:56:54 -0800

My PayPal enabled form seems to be working fine, but when you look at the submissions, the ID's are skipping numbers. 2, 6, 7, 12...

Is this because people are submitting the forms, but abandoning the PayPal cart? Is there any way to record the id when they finish paying and return to the site?

no_sessions_url problem and $fields access

lorihan — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:31:36 -0800

Hi,

I'm new to Form Tools and am so far liking it. However, I'm having a couple of issues.

1. no_sessions_url doesn't want to work for me. I clear out the session and reload the page and it stays on the same page in the multipart form (e.g. form3.php when it should go back to form1.php).

2. For some reason I can't get a value from the $fields array. When I added print_r($fields); I get:

Code:

Array ( [form_tools_form_id] => test [form_tools_submission_id] => test )

Here's my setup for the second form:

Code:

$fields = ft_api_init_form_page();

$params = array(

  "submit_button" => "submit2",

  "next_page" => "form3.php",

  "form_data" => $_POST,

  "no_sessions_url" => "form1.php"

    );

ft_api_process_form($params);

print_r($fields);

echo @$fields["sqft"];

The variable "sqft" is from the first field but doesn't show anything.

Thanks in advanced for any guidance.

Print one per page in a PDF

koystewart — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:20:15 -0800

I am trying it create an export group that is similar to the print one per page. Instead of printing the HTML page with the data, it prints a filled out PDF form. Any Ideas?

RSV Custom Validation - Match password

perfectpixel — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:35:48 -0800

Hi,

I am using the RSV method to validate 3 fields. But I am having an issue with the way the code finds the form fields.

The code below splits the values for each rule in myRules, (se var parts), then gets the fieldnames based on the second item in each rule. Now, when I try to use 'same_as' for my second password field 'rootpassword2', I have to specify 'rootpassword' as the second item in the rule:

var myRules = [
"required,hostname,Host Name Required",
"required,rootpassword,Password Required",
"same_as,rootpassword,rootpassword2,Password Must Match"
];

The problem is that the code...

var parts = myRules[i].split(",");
var fieldName = parts[1];

... uses the second value in the rule, bypassing the actual fieldname 'rootpassword2'.

Any help you can provide to fix the issue is greatly appreciated.

PHP Code:

jQuery.noConflict();

// a custom onComplete handler to prevent form submits for the demo
function myOnComplete()  {
    alert("The form validates!");
    return false;
}

/**
 * My custom error message handler. This displays each error message next to
 * each field. It assumes there are hidden fields
 */
function myCustomErrorDisplayFunction(f, errorInfo){
        // disabled all errors by default
        for (var i=0; i<myRules.length; i++)        {
                var parts = myRules[i].split(",");
                var fieldName = parts[1];

                document.getElementById(fieldName + "_label").className = "";
                //document.getElementById(fieldName + "_error").style.display = "none";
        }

        for (var i=0; i<errorInfo.length; i++)        {
                var fieldName;

                // radio button
                if (errorInfo[i][0].type == undefined)
                        fieldName = errorInfo[i][0][0].name;
                else
                        fieldName = errorInfo[i][0].name;

                // display the error
                document.getElementById(fieldName + "_label").className = "sa-hot";
                //document.getElementById(fieldName + "_error").style.display = "block";
               // document.getElementById(fieldName + "_error").innerHTML = errorInfo[i][1];
        }

        // normally, we'd do something like this: only return TRUE if there were no errors.
        // but this is just a demo. so it's commented out.
        //return (errorInfo.length == 0) ? true : false;

        if (errorInfo.length == 0)
                alert("Form submitted here!");

        return false;
}

var myRules = [
        "required,hostname,Host Name Required",
        "required,rootpassword,Password Required",
        "same_as,rootpassword,rootpassword2,Password Must Match"
];

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery("#sa_form").RSV({
                onCompleteHandler: myOnComplete,
                customErrorHandler: myCustomErrorDisplayFunction,
                rules: myRules
        });
});[/php

Simple Usage Question

xarzu — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:56:44 -0800

Does the forum tools wordpress plugin apply to the comments section of the wordpress blog or does it apply to the login/registration page of the wordpress blog -- or does it apply to both?
