multiple domains - multiple pages - braven - Jun 28th, 2011
Still knocked out by this incredible script!
2 questions I didn't see on the forums, perhaps I missed them.
1. I have Form Tools installed on one domain. Can I create & use a form on a second domain or will Form Tools need to be installed on both domains?
2.I have a form created which will be used on multiple pages of that domain. Am I right in understanding that I use one form in those two instances or does each instance of the form need to be created separately?
Thank you so much & I apologize if this has been asked.

Hi Braven,
Quote:1. I have Form Tools installed on one domain. Can I create & use a form on a second domain or will Form Tools need to be installed on both domains?
Good question! If all your forms are POST forms, then you can just have a single installation for all of them. The one limitation is that you can't add server-side validation to your POST forms for any form that isn't on the same domain. But for API forms, they need to be on the same domain. The reason for this is that they need to reference the API, which can only be done if they're on the same server.

Exactly! Form Tools doesn't care where the information is submitted from, so you can have multiple identical forms dotted all over your site, all submitting to the same form in Form Tools. It's a little weird because then the "form URL" setting for the form is no longer accurate, but technically there's no problem with it at all.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!
Right now I'm experimenting with reCaptcha... hoping that the Global Config changes don't interrupt my forms that don't have any added captcha code on them!
... Then I guess I have to change all my forms to .php from .htm... but it will be worth it if I can stop the spam!
Loving the script, just amazing the obvious work care that has gone into every aspect of it!

Thanks.
I just wish I had more time to help in the forums as well... *sigh!*- Ben

Guess you are only 'human' and therefore can't be 12 places at once..
This script has solved all our forms problems and the results are coming through perfectly.
Thank you, again.
