Contact form issues

Hi all,

I have used the free action PHP feedback form to make a simple contact form, it’s the same as the one in the freeway tutorials. I have changed the page name to contact.php.

When the site is uploaded, i cant see any text fields, and pressing the submit button takes me to the ‘success’ page that I created. My host is ‘ineedwebhosting’

thanks for your help

I have changed the page name to contact.php.

NOT necessary - if you do this you will NOT be able to preview within FW - change it back to .html so that you can see/check the page before uploading.

Do that, re-upload and then post a link so that we can have a look.

Hello David,

Thanks for the reply. When I change the extension back, I can’t see the text fields in freeway either. I created the form again from scratch and reapplied the action, but still no txt field preview. Does this indicate that the problem is in freeway?

Thanks

Can you see everything in the FW preview?

Can you /have you uploaded?

Hi David,

No, it didn’t preview in Freeway correctly.

Here’s the page:

How did you add the input fields for Name. organisation, Email and Message - coz I dont see them in the page code.

Have a look at http://www.deltadesign.co/formtest.html to see how the form fields are inserted into a table structure.

Good evening Dave,

I found out what was going wrong. I edited the text for name etc by changing the paragraph text from html to gif. If you do this the page will not preview in FW, and on upload, you can’t see the txt and txt area fields either. I’ve got it to work now, though the length of the input txt boxes does not preview or upload the same length as i see on the page layout view in FW. I sent a message and got to the success page, though i’m still waiting for the email to turn up :frowning:

thanks

nige.

Remember that your page does NOT need to end .php - you cannot preview a php page in FW. Make it .html instead.

Hi,

Is that just for preview purposes or can i upload as html?

Yes you can upload as html - the php code is generated in a separate php file and uploaded by FW for you) in your case that file is called ‘contact-goa.php’
