Test submission

maurizio · May 1st, 2016, 7:10 AM

Hi all
I try to integrate an external form and fail in the point "test submission"

Formtool asks me:

"1. Open your form in an editor of your choice and change your form tag to the following, including the two hidden fields."

But what file shall i edit and change?

In the manual is written:

"Sending a direct test submission is very simple. Honest.
Cut and paste the HTML in the textarea and replace your own <form> tag with it. The HTML will look something like this: ..."

which textarea is meant? what file?

Can somebody explain me that?
Thx in advance

It's talking about the html form you created, which is a file on your server. If you post the code, I can help diagnose.

Hi Alex
Thank you very much for your reply.
sry, I am a bit confused.
The external form (created with FT) is called iscrizioni. I found a iscrizioni.html file. Is it that?
The code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type">
<title>iscrizione</title>
</head>
<body> <img alt="Iscrizione" src="iscrizioneCorsi.jpg">
</body>
</html>

Are you using the form builder module?

Hello Alex
Yes, i used form builder module. I think i gave too less infos.
on an own server i created 2 urls:
test1.ch and test2.ch,on both is installed FT
in test1.ch i created a form called iscrizioni with form builder that works great

now, in test2 i try to add that external form iscrizioni that resides in test1.ch

I really do not understand, which file i have to edit and replace the three lines looking similiar like following:

<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/form_tools/process.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_initialize_form" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="form_tools_form_id" value="X" />

I do not know where to do this and find no explications in docs or web

I think you may have clicked "add external form" instead of clicking firm builder. Make sure you have the form builder extension installed also.

Hi alex
I will try that.
i think you are right as from the docs i do not understand the deep concept of FT.
Also i never found a concrete project/exemple to study the philosofy/mechanism behind.
Thank you very much
Mauri
