Items not coming thru emails

[pauluk]

When a form is submitted, all seems to work just fine except that emails dont have the actual display names just the answer field ID ie 1,2,3 etc

Ideas please?

Problem No2

On my form, I have options to select how far something is from peoples homes for example 0.5mile, 1-3 miles, 3-5 miles etc

When the form has been submitted, the 0.5 mile shows correctly if chosen.

However, "1-3" is showing on my results (in Excel view) as "01-Mar-11" ie 1-3 is showign as 1st March. The same applies to 3-5 (03-May-11).

Ideas please?

Also, is there a way to stop people submitting the same form multiple times? (other than re-captcha)

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Regarding problem #1, remarkably, this is a bug that somehow got missed for all this time. I've listed a fix here: http://forums.formtools.org/showthread.p...22#pid5322

It's fixed in 2.1.0 which will shortly become the standard build.

However, "1-3" is showing on my results (in Excel view) as "01-Mar-11" ie 1-3 is showign as 1st March. The same applies to 3-5 (03-May-11).

Yeah... this is Excel being "helpful". It's an unbelievable pain.

One solution is to spend time messing around with Excel to prevent it from auto-converting the content, but honestly, I've never had much luck persuading it not to. Another option would be to change the values actually being saved to something that won't confuse Excel. "1 to 3" perhaps....?

Also, is there a way to stop people submitting the same form multiple times? (other than re-captcha)

Is your form an API or POST form?
